Perfect Close Leg Shave: Trader Joe's Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, $6.

Shaving our legs.

Not the most fun part of the beauty routine, but when you can get a smooth, close shave, that's what makes the process worthwhile.


 So our quick, beauty tip for today:

 Perfecting the close shave with coconut oil

 And not just any coconut oil. We suggest this FAVE--Trader Joe's Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, for about $6!

And a generous amount---16 oz.


Hey, Juliette Lewis LOVES coconut oil and uses it for a TON of purposes.

You probably read the NYTimes.com article last week, in which she raves about the oil:

"I’m really into coconut oil for everything. I cook it, eat it, put it in my hair and use it as body lotion. I put it on my face, too — day cream, night cream, whatever. I love the smell. It reminds me of the beach. I’m not particular on what brand as long as it’s organic."

 To get that smooth shave, apply coconut oil AFTER you come out of a hot shower.

Massage the coconut oil all over your damp legs. Then use a sharp razor and go to town, shaving in the same direction your hair grows in.

The coconut oil will allow the blade to SMOOTHLY glide across your legs.
