Coconut Oil beauty products

 

Coconut oil…it’s the new thing in cooking AND in beauty.  Beauty Guru Michelle Phan rounded up some fun ways that you can use actual coconut oil for some DIY beauty products (e.g. as a makeup remover, body scrub, etc.), but if you’re lazy like me, you just want to buy beauty products that already have coconut oil IN them. Thank you very much.  So what are the benefits?  Well, the oil is extracted from the meat of the coconut and it just so happens to be jam packed with vitamin E and good-for-you fatty acids that work together to help your skin and hair in a myriad of ways. Case and point being coconut oil is a great antioxidant AND anti-fungal/bacterial.  Done deal. Here are a few of my favorites:

1// Deborah Lippmann Cuticle Oil Treatment

2// Organix Nourishing Coconut Oil Weightless Hydrating Oil Mist

3// Bumble and Bumble Creme De Coco Shampoo

4// Burt’s Bees Coconut Foot Creme

5// ALTERNA Bamboo Beach Mango Coconut Refreshing Dry Shampoo

6//Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelee
