Budget Beauty Find: Organic Cold Pressed Coconut Oil
Monday, December 14th, 2009When it comes to cosmetics and beauty products I have many favourite brands as opposed to just being loyal to one brand. Every company/product has their “specialty”. I just wanted to share a wonderful discovery that I made recently. I’ve been trying to incorporate more natural products into my beauty routine and I found something that I LOVE. Organic, cold-pressed coconut oil. I am really in LOVE. I use it as a body moisturizer, lip moisturizer and hair moisturizer (plus I am learning to use it in the kitchen). It’s super moisturizing and nourishing without being greasy. A little goes a long way so use it sparingly. It is a great alternative for butter and it can stand high cooking temperatures plus it helps prevent stretch marks. It’s so useful. I know I’ve said it before but I LOVE this product! And the best part? The price. I bought mine at an organic supermarket for under $10. Why buy the super expensive, synthetic department store product when there is a natural and more affordable alternative? I’ve used organic extra virgin olive oil (also wonderful!) before but I was not too crazy about the smell on my skin. I prefer the exotic, delicious, coconut smell. It reminds me of the sun and beaches.
The current brand that I use is the Coconut Oil by Activa. I am so adding this to The Cheap Girl Beauty Picks. What are some of your favourite natural products?
