Coconut... this fruit came straight from paradise islands! It is generally known for its delicious taste and nutritional qualities, but did you also know that coconut has other virtues?
In addition to its sweet, enveloping and intoxicating fragrance that reminds us of the sweet melody of summer vacation. Coconut has many qualities:it moisturizes, protects, nourishes and softens the skin. From now on, coconut is part of our beauty routines.
Indeed, coconut milk's main quality is its ultra-nourishing power. Removing makeup with coconut milk will ensure gentle makeup removal and bring vitamins and minerals to your skin. Plus, it's easy to make.
You just need to heat 45 ml of orange blossom water by diluting 20 g of coconut milk powder. Mix with a small whisk and you will obtain a make-up remover that smells divine. For good storage (about 3 months) add 10 drops of undiluted rosemary essential oil. And now your coconut milk is ready.
Rich in fatty acids, coconut also has emollient properties:it relaxes and softens the skin. Thus, we pamper ourselves with coconut by smearing the body and face with body butters, body milk or even shower gel.
