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.
