A few weeks ago I published a post to help you eat more coconut oil that featured 115 real food coconut oil recipes. It made me realize that we also needed a post that featured non-food recipes. While eating coconut oil is the best way to take advantage of its health benefits, it can also be used for a variety of other things, including skin care. I get a lot of questions about how to use coconut oil for skin care, so this post is for you!
Don’t forget to check out this super popular post that gives you 122 Uses for Coconut Oil. If you’re curious why I love coconut oil so much, you can read about the health benefits of coconut oil here. And, if that’s not enough, check out my entire section of my site devoted to the wonderful world of coconut oil.

If you’re interested in making your own skin care products, I highly recommend this eBook from my friend Jennifer: “Coconut Oil For Your Skin – Nourishing Your Body From The Outside In“. This is a great book that shows you how to nourish your body from the outside in, using coconut oil!
For lots of health-related information on coconut oil, I have found this book from the founders of Tropical Traditions to be very informative. One of the best books about virgin coconut oil out there, written by people who actually lived in a coconut producing region where coconut oil has been used for generations.
