Reveal Your Most Radiant Silky Smooth Skin

The Secret Benefits of a Coconut Milk Bath

The smooth silky feel of perfectly pampered skin, the subtle yet sensuous aroma of coconut and the sheer decadence of it all – is what makes having a coconut milk bath worth the effort of lighting those candles, playing a little background music and dimming those lights. It is the coveted unadulterated me time. As history would tell it, the secret to Cleopatra’s irresistible beauty had much to do with a daily soak in a bath of milk and honey, and since the revival of coconut milk, bathing has re-entered our beauty regime in a big way. So if you are pining for a relaxing skin-care treat that will deliver real skin-benefits, a coconut bath maybe just what you need, my beauty.

Scaly skin no-more!

Like dairy milk, coconut milk contains lactic acid, an organic fatty alpha hydroxy acid that breaks down and separates the dead skin cells that cause that unsightly scaly dry look. Ewww, yes, indeed. But before you jump out of the bath, allow the warmth of the water to relax you. As it does, it will also open up the pores of your skin and allow the coconut milk to deep clean below the surface layers, which in turn encourages skin renewal. In essence, you’ll be exfoliating your skin without any of the usual scrubbing required, which is a plus for anyone with skin sensitivities.

Soothing relief

Because of its high concentration of fats and proteins, a coconut milk bath will nourish and soothe itchiness and dryness almost immediately. The high concentration of saturated fats reportedly work wonders for those struggling with acne or eczema, and moisturizes without leaving an oily residue.

Strengthen skin cells and Enhance your natural radiance What’s more, coconut milk holds the same antioxidant rich combination of vitamins (C, E and some B). Together they work to repair and protect damaged skin, strengthening and firming skin cells while leaving you with a natural radiant glow.

De-stress and Detox A warm coconut milk bath is much more than a way to release tension and de-stress after an exhausting day. The aroma of coconuts can be therapeutic and can help balance the senses. And as you de-stress, a host of antifungal and antibacterial properties will expunge the toxins from your body, which will help to increase circulation and boost your immune system.

So, after one coconut milk bath, you should not only sleep well but wake deliciously moisturized! For some this will be a skin-healing ritual, for others it’ll be some much needed quality time to nurture your inner queen. Either way, remember that to be your most irresistible self, organic coconut milk is best - the purer the coconut milk the more benefits you will reap!

Important note: If you do have allergic reactions to coconut milk or coconuts, seek medical advice before trying a coconut milk bath.
