Coconut Beauty Products for Summer

With summer comes coconut everything. But how can anyone object? As it turns out, coconuts are super hydrating. Making them great for our skin and hair. Which is why we’re updating our beauty routines stat. “Coconut oil is comprised of primarily fatty acids, such as lauric, capric and caprylic acids, which prevent moisture loss and work to keep skin hydrated,” explains Kopari co-founder Kiana Cabell. “Lauric, capric and caprylic acids are also known for their strong antimicrobial and antifungal properties, which many have found to help reduce their acne. Further, the vitamin E also found in coconut oil is loaded with antioxidants to protect against cracking and wrinkling.” Need more proof? Check out our guide to the best coconut beauty products. You’ll want to use them all summer long. You can even keep them in your routine once fall rolls around. And through winter…
