If you haven’t purchased some pure/virgin coconut oil yet, where have you been? I mean, you should try pick some up from your local store, asap!
Coconut Oil has such a wide range of uses and it can benefit your body inside and out. It can be used on its own as a hair conditioner, lip balm or body moisturiser.
But one Mask I like to make with Coconut oil is a Brightening Mask.
This mask is very moisturising and has antibacterial qualities that can help reduce acne, whilst rejuvenating dull skin.
Ingredients: | Benefit |
1 tbsp. Coconut Oil | Moisturising & contains Vitamin E which has healing properties |
1 tsp. Honey | Antibacterial & moisturising qualities, effective cleanser |
1 squeeze of Lemon | Lightening discolouration properties, antibacterial |
Mix all ingredients together and apply on face. Leave for 25minutes before rinsing off. Don’t forget to wear an old t-shirt as this mask can get a little messy.
TIP: Use pure or virgin coconut oil, which means it is unrefined, and has not been through any chemical processes. Also there is no such thing as “extra virgin” coconut oil, this is the same as virgin.
Try it and let me know what you think 🙂

You are so right Jasmin. I find some masks I buy don’t really do much aswell. x
Have to give it a try! 🙂
