One jar of coconut oil just replaced half of her bathroom cabinet.

Natalie Alzate built her channel, Natalies Outlet, into a millions-strong subscriber base by promising exactly this kind of thing: cheap, no-nonsense fixes that skip the salon and the expensive skincare aisle entirely. In “Life Hacks No One Told You *Life-Changing Beauty Tips*,” she runs through a batch of DIY routines built around household staples, with coconut oil doing most of the heavy lifting. The pitch is simple — you probably already own the fix, you just haven’t been using it right.

  • Alzate demonstrates coconut oil as an intensive moisturizer for dry or damaged hair and skin.
  • She uses it as a makeup remover, showing it break down stubborn cosmetics without a separate cleanser.
  • She also swaps it in as a substitute for traditional shaving cream and body lotion.

Coconut Oil as the Multi-Tasker

The centerpiece of the video is coconut oil, and Alzate treats it less like a single product and more like a category killer. She scoops the solid oil from the jar, warms it between her palms until it liquefies, and applies it directly to whatever needs attention — dry elbows, flaky knees, damaged strands, stubborn eye makeup. The logic she pushes to her “Outties” is that one $8 jar covers jobs usually split across three or four bottles sitting in a shower caddy.

For hair and skin repair, she leans on coconut oil’s reputation as a deep-penetrating emollient, working it through ends that are dry or over-processed and leaving it on skin long enough to actually absorb rather than just sit on the surface. It’s the same logic that shows up in 8 Beauty Tips / Hacks I ACTUALLY Swear By! — cut down the product list, not the results.

Warm it in your hands, and apply it anywhere you need some extra hydration — elbows, knees, legs.

Ditching the Makeup Remover and Shaving Cream

Alzate’s second demonstration tackles two products most people buy without thinking twice about: makeup remover and shaving cream. She works coconut oil into the skin to break down cosmetics, including the stubborn stuff that survives a regular face wipe, then rinses clean. The same jar goes on legs in place of shaving cream, leaving skin moisturized as it’s shaved instead of stripped by foam that dries out afterward.

It’s a swap that lines up with the wider budget-beauty trend she’s built her channel around, the same one running through videos like 32 GENIUS BEAUTY TIPS FOR GIRLS: fewer bottles, fewer steps, same or better result.

Body Lotion Without the Bottle

Rounding out the coconut oil segment, Alzate uses it as a straight substitute for body lotion. No fragrance additives, no separate purchase — just the same jar already doing duty as moisturizer, makeup remover, and shaving aid. For viewers watching a channel built on accessibility over expense, that’s the whole appeal: one ingredient, four jobs, minimal spend.

The rest of the video keeps that same budget-first thread going with additional workarounds for common skincare and makeup snags, all pitched at viewers who want efficient self-care without a trip to the salon or a stack of new products.
