Cheap Trick 1: DIY Face Wipes.
I use coconut oil in a lot of my cooking so I always have it around. I also used whichever face wash I already had in my shower.
- Recipe:
- Mix 2 tablespoons of Coconut Oil, 2 tablespoons of face wash, and 2 cups of water together.
- Soak STRONG paper towels with solution in your choice of container.
- All you have to do is melt the oil and mix in the other wet ingredients.
- Roll or arrange towels in your container and pour the liquids over top.
- Troubleshooting:
- I used a mason jar but I think I will use an old flour container next.
- If the wipes dry out you can soak them with more water. My batch ended up very wet so I could have used less water.
I will say my face feels very soft and clean after using these wipes. I am super lazy about washing my face before I work out so having these around should help with that. Over the long run these will be much cheaper than purchasing face wipes at the store.
Price: Nutiva Organic Virgin Coconut Oil 
Sold by: Wal-Mart, Publix, Target, Department Stores, Grocery Stores, Health Food Stores, Amazon
Cheap Trick 2: Coconut Oil as a skin moisturizer. A small amount of unrefined coconut oil goes a long way. Use just like lotion. Coconut oil is very good for your interior and exterior. Do a Google search and look up the many ways you can use and benefit from the product. Super cool added plus: Coconut oil screens 20% of the ultraviolet exposure, providing natural sun protection. Warning: If you have a dog they will persistently try to lick you!
Price: $7-$16 I usually use Spectrum Organic Coconut Oil, Unrefined, 14 oz
Sold by: Grocery Stores, Amazon
Cheap Trick 3: Coconut Oil as a hair mask/conditioner. Coat hair with oil, roots to tip. I would suggest covering your head with a shower cap if you are soaking in the oil for an extended amount of time (overnight). Let sit and wash out.
