Have the beach and pool left your skin dry and your hair with split ends? Check out this two-in-one DIY coconut oil lotion for skin and hair!
Chlorine at the pool and salt water at the beach can really dry out your hair and skin! If you’re dealing with end-of-summer dryness and split ends, you might be shopping around for beauty products to fix things up. The trouble with those store-bought solutions is that they often contain a lot of harmful chemicals that can damage our health in the long term.
This DIY coconut oil lotion uses only a few, natural ingredients. It’s less expensive than store-bought split and treatments and moisturizers, and it’s healthier, too! On first glance, making this DIY beauty recipe might seem like an investment. A bottle of argan oil, for example, is not cheap. Keep in mind that you aren’t using the whole container of any ingredient to make this DIY coconut oil lotion. These supplies will last you beyond the up front investment in ingredients.
