Coconut DIY Beauty Recipes
Have you ever read the ingredient list of your make-up, lotion or moisturizer? It can be alarming what chemicals are in some of these products! One of the reasons I love coconut so much is that it provides many great health and beauty benefits, yet is natural and toxic-free. In my book, “Superfoods for Life, Coconut” I devote an entire chapter to coconut for beauty including recipes for making your own coconut moisturizer, body scrubs and fascial masks.
In today’s Healthy Grocery Girl Show episode I share what beauty recipes are in my book as well as what to look for when buying coconut oil, a staple ingredient in my beauty recipes.
Try this recipe from, “Superfoods for Life, Coconut”!
I know you’ll love it as much as I do!
