If you thought coconut oil was confined to the kitchen, think again, because this hero product is a bathroom must-have – here are 5 reasons you need coconut oil in your beauty bag! Add this exotic ingredient to your regime today.
1. It’s a moisturiser
Slather it on from head to toe for silky soft skin! It’ll leave skin looking super smooth and gorgeous all day long!
2. It’s an intensive conditioner
Pop a little bit onto the ends of dry hair pre-wash, and leave on for a few minutes to give locks a super-duper hydration hit. Then wash hair with shampoo as normal and use your regular conditioner to finish.
3. It’s a lip balm
Smooth onto dry lips to rehydrate in a jiffy – just try not to lick it all off before it gets to work!
4. It’s a scalp soother
Dry, itchy scalp? Massage in a little coconut oil before you wash your hair and leave in for a few minutes to really soak in. Then wash hair as usual.
5. It’s a make-up remover
Rub a small amount into dry skin, then add water to remove the day’s make-up with ease. It’ll leave skin feeling soft and hydrated rather than stripped and parched.
