4 Surprising skin benefits of coconut milk

So yes, you probably know, coconuts are amazing. We're all obsessed with the countless benefits of coconut oil, electrolyte-filled coconut water, but what about coconut milk? 

Maybe you are already using coconut milk in your smoothies, and thats a great choice! Coconut milk is high in Vitamins C, E, skin nourishing B vitamins, as well as Iron, Selenium, Calcium, and Magnesium. Coconut milk is also high in Lauric Acid, a Fatty Acid with antibacterial properties. 

Here are 5 ways you can use coconut milk in your skincare routine:

1. Makeup remover

Mixing 2 parts coconut oil with 1 part coconut milk is a gentle and nourishing way to remove eye makeup.

2. Facial scrub

Instead of adding water to our Cleansing Clay Exfoliant, try adding coconut milk instead! You can also leave it on as a mask, adding the extra benefits of vitamins and minerals. 

3. Treating sunburns

Think aloe vera is the only way to soothe sunburns? Coconut milk has outstanding anti-inflammatory properties, reducing pain, swelling, and redness. 

4. Hydrating milk bath

Milk baths aren't just for Cleopatra. Add 1 cup of coconut milk along with a 1/2 cup of rosewater for a bath fit for a queen!
