I’m not sure where to even begin with
this product, I mentioned it in my Current Beauty Fave’s Video a few weeks ago
and since then I’ve found even more fabulous uses for it. But first things
first, SO many hair and skin care
products advertise the fact that they contain pure coconut oil and rave about
the benefits it provides to your beauty regime, so my thoughts are - why not
cut out all the other ingredients that are added to make it look luxurious, as
well as the pretty packaging (and the price tag) and go straight to the source
for the real deal at a fraction of the cost?! I’m not going to lie – this doesn’t
have the typical scent of coconutty
loveliness (more like a load of random chemicals) that most products
containing coconut oil have, in fact it has no scent whatsoever, but as much as
I love that fake coconut smell (think
Hawaiian Tropic – oh my god!), it
really doesn’t bother me at all, as this has literally become my multifunctional
wonder product.
I bought this primarily because I knew
it was beneficial to use on hair as a deep conditioning mask before washing as
well as on the ends when they feel a bit dry, and also to try out as a body moisturiser
as an alternative to my other chemical laden products. For all of these
purposes I absolutely adore this
stuff, it’s so moisturising and absorbs into the skin a lot quicker than other
branded body oils I have previously used. Having said that, it doesn’t absorb into the hair easily and so needs
to be used extremely sparingly – full details of a work related greasy hair
incident can be found in the video that I linked above – not
a good look! However, when used in moderation I find that I value it higher
than any hair conditioner, serum or mask that I’ve ever used, and that’s saying
something as I’m a total fiend for trying out new hair products.
Obvious uses aside, other ways I have
tried and loved this oil are as a face moisturiser - if I’m having a makeup
free day I will pat this onto my skin after cleansing for a soothing and replenishing
effect. Yeah, I’ll admit it
feels a bit odd patting oil onto my face but contrary to what I you'd expect – it actually
rebalances my oily patches. I’ve also used this as a lip balm and a gentle makeup
remover for days when I’m wearing light makeup. Oh, and you can use this for cooking too! All for just £2.50, can you tell why I’m raving
now? You can find this in health stores,
however I’ve found it to be a hell of a lot cheaper in my good old local
supermarket.
Now for a relaxing pamper sesh

bliss!
