But did you know the extent of the uses and benefits of coconut oil? Celebrities absolutely love it in it's raw form so here's a few of the weird and wonderful possibilities...

Makeup Remover
Even waterproof mascara can be removed with coconut oil! Emma Stone is allergy prone so she uses coconut oil to remove her makeup, according to Vogue. Simply apply coconut oil directly to your face and work it into your skin in circular motions and watch your makeup melt away! I often use coconut oil to remove heavy makeup after a night out, when my skin feels dry and tired.

Coconut oil is the oil du jour loved by everyone from health experts to celebrities and even their furry friends (it’s said to help freshen dog’s breath and give shine to their coats). Gwyneth Paltrow used coconut oil just about everywhere, especially in her cooking recipes.

Coconut oil increases your bodies metabolic rate and strengthens your immune system! It also helps to improve the digestive system. Myprotein have a great organic coconut oil that's a great substitute for margarine or butter when baking, roasting or frying.
Tattoo Aftercare
If you've ever had a tattoo, you were probably told to constantly cover your tattoo with coconut oil during the healing phase. Coconut works miracles to moisturise and protect your skin from infection.
Stretch Marks
Applying coconut oil is a dream for scars, cellulite and stretch marks (expectant mums get a jar of coconut oil). Applying it regularly may improve the overall appearance of your skin, promote healing and prevent some stretch marks from occurring.
