We are really loving the ongoing hype over coconut oil. From beauty gurus to holistic medicine enthusiasts, you will find coconut oil is talked about everywhere. It’s a natural remedy (and is budget-friendly!) to use in your skincare routine and can really change your skin for the better.

Coconut oil has tons of benefits for your skin. Some of those include reducing inflammation and redness, keeping skin moisturized and supple, and helping to heal wounds and scars. Coconut oil’s lauric acid also helps to turn over skin cells, thus reducing sunspots, age spots, and wrinkles. This powerful product can play a huge part on keeping your skin hydrated, youthful, and glowing. See our post, “How To Get Your Skin Hydrated For Spring” for more details on just how!

We’ve put together three of our favorite DIY face masks for you to test out at home – your skin will be looking and feeling its best afterwards!

For Dry Skin:

- 1 tbsp Conscious Coconut Oil

- 1 tbsp organic honey

- 1 tbsp plain yogurt

This mask is great for those with dry sensitive skin. The ingredients in coconut oil, honey, and yogurt work together to create hydration and boost elasticity.

Check out this review from one of our customers, “My sensitive skin has been so angry at this time of year and I can’t go a few hours before my skin looks dry again. The coconut oil has helped me maintain moisturized skin while I’m out and about!! Even with makeup on, I can apply the coconut oil and then touch up my makeup right over top. I love that!”

For Youthful Skin:

- 1 avocado

- 4 tbsp Conscious Coconut Oil

- 2 tsp nutmeg

As we age, our skin doesn’t produce as much collagen as it should. The coconut oil in this mask works to hydrate and nourish your skin while the avocado slows the aging process by neutralizing free radicals.

For Uneven Skin:

- 1 tbsp Conscious Coconut Oil

- 1 tsp turmeric

It has been known for centuries that turmeric plays a massive role in softening skin and evening out your skin tone. Along with that, coconut oil has the ability to moisturize and penetrate deep into your skin. If you find yourself struggling with dull and uneven skin, try this simple mask. You will not be disappointed!
