The summer season is upon us with full force and if there's one thing we all think of as a staple during this season, it has to be coconut water. Known for its
amazing health benefits, coconut water contains properties that can also work wonders for your skin and hair. It helps keep your body cool during these high temperatures and also contains anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and anti-bacterial ingredients. So, if you're looking to amp up your skincare and haircare game, here are some DIY coconut water remedies you should opt for.
Anti-ageing face mask: Coconut water contains nutrients that have shown results when it comes to reducing the rate of ageing in the skin. For this mask, you'll need to mix some coconut water with some honey to make a thick and consistent paste. Apply the paste to your face and let it sit for about 15-20 minutes before rinsing it off.
Mask for flaky hair: Say goodbye to dull, damaged and flaky hair with the help of this coconut water-based mask. In a bowl, add some coconut water, baking soda and eggs. Mix these well and apply the mask to your hair and scalp and massage well. Leave it on for at least half an hour before you rinse it off.
Acne fighting mask: Yet another amazing property of coconut water is that it can fight zits and acne. Mix some coconut water with some avocado and a little bit of turmeric to make a thick paste. Apply this paste to your face and let it sit for about 15-20 minutes. Once you rinse it off, you'll notice the glow in your skin.
Leave-in conditioner: Ran out of conditioner at home? No worries! Coconut water will come to your rescue with its highly moisturising properties. All you need to do is mix some coconut water with some apple cider vinegar and then transfer the mixture into a spray bottle. Just spritz on the mixture after you're done shampooing your hair and it'll work as a leave-in conditioner.
Well, now that you know just how versatile coconut water is, what're you waiting for? Go give these a try! Stay tuned for more updates.
