These Celebs <3 Coconut Oil As Much As You Do
When peering at the ingredient list of your average makeup remover, hair conditioner, or lipstick, the ingredients are often a mysterious amalgamation of frightening-sounding chemicals. Therefore, the amount of celebrities who love coconut oil in its pure, undiluted state is perfectly understandable; after all, who wouldn't hop aboard the organic skincare wagon after years of sporting caked-on cosmetics whose components remain an enigma?
The coconut oil trend is by no means new, but it also shows no signs of departing anytime soon. The multitasking ingredient is a wondrous solution to a number of skin, hair, and health maladies, and costs quite a bit less than the so-called "miracle products" designed to target the same concerns. Some celebrities prefer to use coconut oil as a natural mouthwash, insisting the oil removes stains from their teeth. Others substitute coconut oil for their nightly date with a makeup removing cleansing cloth. And a handful of celebrities even use coconut oil as a form of ultra-natural makeup, praising the oil's ability to restore radiance to a weathered face. Before dismissing the coconut oil fad as yet another overly-hyped trend destined to go the way of belly shirts or velour tracksuits, read on for 13 celebrities who have pledged their allegiance to coconut oil.
