"I am the self-professed anti-shaving cream girl from the nasty beauty habits article. Regular shaving cream doesn't moisturize as much as I need it to, so I completely dropped it from my shaving routine. Of course, I was chosen to try coconut oil as a shaving cream. After showering, I rubbed each of my legs with a tablespoon of coconut oil. My legs instantly felt moisturized and I didn't even have to apply lotion after I shaved. I got an incredibly smooth and clean shave from using coconut oil, and even days later, my legs still look shiny and smooth. The coconut oil worked not only as a shaving cream (better, actually), but also as a deep moisturizer -- exactly what a shaving product should do. I will absolutely use coconut oil to shave with from now on." --Claire, Former Editorial Intern

"Despite the fact that I pretty much loathe the smell of coconut, I have to say using coconut oil as a night cream was surprisingly rejuvenating. I had to keep it solid in the fridge, so after a little heating, it went on super smooth all over my face. All I needed was a little and my face felt like it was getting pampered all night long. Compared to my usual night serum or cream (depending on the day), it was a bit oily for my liking by the morning. But other than that, I quite enjoy this use of coconut oil." --Tiffanie, Former Assistant Editor

"After using coconut oil on my cuticles a few times, I can confirm that it is an effective cuticle treatment. But I should mention that one shouldn't use coconut oil on one's hands while in the bathroom with the door closed, because one might then find oneself trapped in the bathroom as a result of an inability to turn a doorknob with oily hands. Hypothetically, of course." --Megan, Former Production Intern

"I was hesitant put oil all over my teeth, but this actually worked surprisingly well! I mixed in a bit of baking soda to build up the texture and began to brush. The coconut oil really polished the surface of my teeth, leaving them pearly, super white (even after a morning of coffee and a night of red wine), and with that smooth, post-dentist feeling you can't help but rub your tongue over. My teeth have also been a bit sensitive lately, but when brushing with coconut oil, I didn't feel any of the usual pain that the harsh chemicals in my regular toothpaste make worse. The only problem was the lack of minty freshness. I still felt like I needed to re-brush with my normal foamy toothpaste or rinse with a minty mouthwash for my mouth to feel completely fresh. So, I'm not quite ready to give up my regular toothpaste, but I'll definitely put in polishing sessions with coconut oil if I can remember to pick up peppermint oil to mix into the paste." --Erica, Former Assistant Editor

"This definitely works as a lip balm, but it's a little too messy for my taste. I straight up scooped a bit of coconut oil on my finger and applied it to my lips, which probably wasn't the best idea, since it was super gooey and dripped all over my lips. After cleaning it up a bit and rubbing it in, the oil definitely nourished my lips and stayed on while sipping my green tea frappe. It smells really nice, and I would use coconut oil once in a while to nourish my lips at home, but while I'm out or on the go I'd stick to my regular lip balm because it's easier to carry around and apply." --Sophia, Former Editorial Intern
