While we’ve praised coconut oil over and over again, let’s not forget about its equally amazing sibling: coconut milk. We often throw in into smoothies, curry or soups, but did you know it has lots of beauty benefits too? With high fat content, proteins and vitamin E, coconut milk is nourishing for the skin and hair. These are some of our favorite ways to use it in our beauty regimen:
