1. Body lotion

The amount you spend on body lotions claiming to contain coconut oil can be directed to other expenses. Climb on your coconut tree, pick a few fruits and make yourself a body lotion. The only disadvantage is that your homemade lotion will feel a little bit greasy. However, if you will be patient for some minutes, your body will absorb it and you will have the best moist skin ever.

2. Deodorant

Deodorants are other items we purchase without even reading their contents. However, as a coast resident, you can replace it with a coconut oil. This oil contains antibacterial properties that can prevent bad odor from your armpits.

3. Lip balm and shaving cream

Women spend on lip balm. However, you can opt to this locally grown fruit as the best non-chemical lip balm. It will leave your lips ever moisturised. Additionally, a closer shave for ladies who do not want hairy legs can be achieved using coconut oil.

4. Mouthwash

A stinking mouth is one of the worst embarrassments you should avoid. Coconut oil can save you the shame by making sure that you always have a fresh breath.
