Hello everyone! So when it comes to summer well not just summer but more so in summer, i always seem to want to cover myself from head to toe in anything and everything coconut scented. It is in fact one of my favourite scents of all time, but it also has so many other great beneficial purposes and i have tried my fair share of coconut scented/infused products over the years. With that in mind for today's post i thought i would share with you the best of beauty: coconut products, everything from hair to body and nails.
I am a huge fan of barryM nail polishes in general but when they released this special formula which happens to be coconut infused, i was even more in love. These polishes bring some serious summer vibes to your nails, as well as keeping them hydrated and nourished. When they were first released i did a "mani monday" type of post with my favourite shade called Surfboard, which you can catch
here.
Whilst on the topic of nails/hands, this is one Lush product that happens to be coconut themed and i can't live without it in my life. It is simply better than any hand cream you could buy, all you have to do it rub it into your hands and rinse under a warm tap, as easy as that you have super soft and hydrated hands that smell delicious. Even though some Lush products can be a little steep in price, a little of this goes a long way!
Moving onto hair and something that needs some serious loving a lot more in the summer time, as i battle with keeping frizz at bay. By putting a little of this through the length of my hair once i have washed it, before i blow dry it really helps to keep the frizz away. This product really proves that coconut can help so many different problem areas in so many ways.
There are around 1000+ coconut fragrance shower gels/creams available from pretty much every brand, but to me there is nothing that beats The Body Shop's coconut formula/scent. At one point this is the only brand of shower gel i would ever use, which obviously means it is good. Another great coconut infused shower gel from The Body Shop is the summer limited edition Pinita Colada shower gel.
Whilst we are talking about The Body Shop, this coconut lip butter is probably the only lip balm that i ever reach for now because it just does the job so well for me (along side the Lush lip scrub of course). This is a product that i reach for more than once a day every single day, it honestly does such an amazing job at keeping them chap-free and moisturised. If coconut isn't for you, you can get these in so many different scents.
If you want one of those one coconut product works for all products, then you can't get much closer to that than this. You can get 100% raw coconut oil from pretty much anywhere, but this sister & co cold pressed raw coconut oil has to be my favourite. You can use this on anything and everything from your hair, skin, face and you can even cook with it. My favourite way to use it personally besides to cook with, definitely has to be as a hair mask. I always do this around once or twice a month and i apply it all over and leave it for around 20-30 minutes before rinsing out.
I first mentioned this product in a tropical trends style post last month, which you can catch
here if you didn't do so already. I said how i had recently started to give this a try and i was really enjoying it, as it literally adds so much moisture back into your hair. As you can probably tell coconut style products really help me out in my dry hair-type/skin-type situation.
Finally, saving probably the best until last and yet another product i can't live without and one that i use every single day. This palmer's coconut formula body lotion has been my go-to for probably over a year now, i just love every single thing about it from the scent, how fast absorbing it is, helps keep your fake tan looking fresher for longer and most of all keeping that moisture locked in and hydrated for so long.
