While some find coconut oil most useful for cooking, I've retired my jar from the kitchen. Coconut oil is not only a great moisturizing hair mask, but it's also antibacterial and anti-fungal, which makes it safe and healthy for use on skin.It makes for an amazingly gentle eye makeup remover that literally melts any formula (even the sweat-proof kind) right off. And while rubbing coconut oil all over your body might seem strange, I've never woken up with smoother skin. Just be sure to apply it a few hours before bed or when you have a lot of free time to spare so the oil actually has time to soak in.Make an energizing body scrub with coffee groundsKickin' Horse Coffee Grounds, $10.29, available at AmazonIf you rely on coffee for a jolt of energy throughout the day, you should think about incorporating it into your skincare routine. The texture of ground coffee is great for sloughing off dead skin, and it's been reported that the caffeine itself stimulates fat degradationwhich can help the appearance of cellulite. Mix coffee grounds with coconut oil for a moisturizing body scrub that will leave you smelling like your favorite latte.Use creamy avocados for a soothing, moisturizing face maskLarge Haas Avocados, $2.99/2, available at JetAvocados are filled with plenty of nutrients, including those omega-3 fatty acids you're always hearing the benefits of. While eating some avocado can enrich your body from the inside out, it can't hurt to keep a few slices to the side for your skincare regimen. The creamy texture we've come to love avocados for makes them taste delicious, but also allows them to soothe, moisturize, and nourish your skin. You can mix avocado with other kitchen skincare products like honey and rolled oats for a simple DIY face mask.If you're feeling inspired but would rather keep your avocado on a slice of toast, pick up anavocado sheet mask or eye treatment instead.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
