Summer Essential: Vita Coco Coconut Oil
When we think of coconuts we imagine white sands, tall palms and bright blue sea. I don’t know about you, but the smell of coconut reminds me of the entire essence of summer. The very scent is enough to picture myself somewhere extremely exotic with a fruity cocktail in hand. This is why, as soon as I caught a whiff of Vita Coco Coconut oil I had fallen into some kind of coconut oil infatuation.
This season, we have seen the power of the coconut
first hand with a coconut frenzy sweeping across the beauty, skincare and food
industries. Previously coconut was only ever thought of as a quick fruit snack,
perhaps a drink and the ‘stuff that’s in bountys’. However, with the versatile
uses of coconut oil rearing its head it’s quickly becoming a summer 2015 beauty
essential.
Vita Coco Coconut oil is extra virgin, meaning it is
free of all nasties making it the perfect product for all of the family.
Organic, 100% raw and cold pressed with all of its natural goodness, those green
glamorganic beauties out there will be screaming from the rooftops. Full of antioxidants,
Vita Coconut Oil is nature’s very own anti-ageing skincare hero. With plenty of
uses from softening and strengthening hair, cleansing and moisturising skin to
even being able to take off stubborn make-up, this is a summer suitcase staple.
We love Vita Coconut Oil here at Belle and it is
quickly becoming our go to multipurpose product. And by multipurpose, I mean EVERYTHING:
Body
Nature’s own moisturiser. Keep at room temperature to
soften the oil, then slather the sweet smelling oil all over your both for a
super nourishing full body treatment. Vita Coconut Oil is also makes the
perfect product to keep your pins hair free. Simply sweep the oil over your leg
for a natural and organic shaving balm. It ensures the razor glides easily over
your skin, preventing cuts. Not only does your skin feel soft and supple, you
are also left smelling tropically fantastic.
Hair
As we head into the summer the air is hot a humid,
making our hair vulnerable to the FRIZZ! To tame flyaways, rub a penny sized
amount of oil into your palms and smooth onto the end of your hair for sleek,
shiny hair. The oil can also be used as a conditioning hair mask. Simply
distribute the oil all over and leave for an hour before you shampoo to revive
dry, sunbaked hair.
Face
A cleanser and moisturiser in one, Vita Coco Coconut
Oil can be applied directly onto a cotton pad to remove makeup – even waterproof
mascara! Trust us, it really works! Also a saviour for the lips, Vita Coco
Coconut oil can applied to the lips to moisturise, soothe and perfect our
pouts.
