Coconut Can Be Your Skin's New Best Friend
It is no doubt that coconuts are extremely vital ingredients in skincare as well as hair care products. Originating in the tropics, this fruit has been used over the ages time and time again as a significant element in the hydration of skin and hair. Even a little bit of this magical ingredient can do miracles for you. Besides, it adds a beautiful fruity aroma to any product it is used in.
The primary reason for its great moisturizing power is the presence of fatty acids. The anti-microbial properties and Vitamins E and A also help ward off akin infections and acne. Coconut oil also has anti-inflammatory properties, which helps reduce puffiness as well as skin concerns such as eczema, psoriasis, and irritated skin.
Using coconut oil also helps restore the water barrier of the skin, making the skin look nourished. It is mainly advised for dry skin types and not for oily and acne-prone skin as coconut oil can be highly comedogenic, which means it can clog pores and lead to more acne. Here are some coconut-derived K-Beauty products that Korean superstars and beauty icons are swearing by.
This line of products has recently won the "Best of K-Beauty" award:
- Solved Skincare Coconut Oil Cleansing Pads
- Coconut Water Cleansing Foam
- Coconut Water Rosehip and Hibiscus Toner
These organically farm-sourced coconut products are raved about and even won the coveted best of K-Beauty award in 2019. They're still a staple in a lot of celebrities' glass-skin skincare regime. The coconuts are sourced straight from the Philippines, and the gentle formulation hydrates, nourish, and adds shine to dry, lifeless looking skin. The pads are made with 95% pure virgin coconut oil. The coconut water cleansing foam is made with 75% real coconut water and is a gentle, nourishing cleanser. The toner contains brightening extracts and natural AHAs which have anti-fungal properties. Celebrities like Eric Nam have often spoken the praises of this line, having made them a staple in his skincare routine.
It is clear to see, therefore, that coconuts are hero ingredients when it comes to skincare, and you should add these to your skincare regime if it suits your skin type.
