Coconut: A Natural Moisturizer

Why You'll Go Cuckoo For Coconuts

Every day we're scouring the web for the top beauty tips, and Twitter is just brimming with them. Take a recent tidbit from celebrity nutritionist Kimberly Snyder, who is known to her holistic approach to beauty. When asked by a follower her recommendation for a natural body lotion choice, Snyder replied, "Try coconut oil! Use a bit at a time to let it absorb." Great advice; not only does coconut oil hydrate the skin, but it contains antioxidants to block out free radicals, and it also has lauric acid, a natural antimicrobial. There's nothing nuts about that.

I love coconut oil. I use it in my hair too as a treatment when my scalp and hair start feeling dry

Coconut oil is great, but don't forget about grape seed oil. It's lighter and absorbs easier. I only use coconut at night.
