The 7 Best Coconut Products for Summer

Does the smell of coconut oil or a coconut drink immediately make you think of the beach? I looooove that smell. My first sun tan oil in high school was coconut based, and the smell of it takes me back instantly. I not only love the smell of coconut, but I am a huge fan and advocate of using coconut oil to moisturize, cook with, and practice oil pulling.

I decided to round up my seven favorite summer staples that include fresh-smelling coconut and why they make me happy:

Essie Coconut Cove– Does it get any better than this nail color? It’s the color of sweet cream, and looks so bright and summery on your fingertips! I usually don’t do a bright white nail, so this is the ideal shade…white, but not a shocking white. It’s truly the prettiest summer neutral on fingers and toes. Bring on the beach.
Love & Toast Coconut Honey Handcream– The smell of this is heavenly! I can go on and on about how hydrating the cream is, and how soft your hands will be. But let’s be real; it’s just the scent of this that makes me love it.
Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Cheek Geleé-This is the stuff cosmetic dreams are made of. You can pat it on with your fingertips for a natural flush on the cheeks. It stays put all day, too. I love wearing it over my tinted moisturizer during the summer to go a bit lighter on my pores. This cheek stain is actually made with 50 percent pure coconut water!
Renpure Coconut Cream Shampoo– This stuff is magic! I can’t get over how lovely it makes my hair smell, but it’s also a plus that Renpure products have no dyes, sulfates, parabens, gluten, and don’t test on animals. It removed the product build-up I had from hair powders and dry shampoos and left me with a very clean-feeling scalp.
Renpure Coconut Cream Conditioner-It made my very, very dry hair feel soft and bouncy after just two washes. I actually had two people ask me what I was using on my hair the very next day!
Renpure Coconut Water Mist-I wanted more shine and smoothness, and this does the trick. I use it as my de-tangler, because it helps protect against breakage, split-ends, and heated styling tools.
Renpure Coconut Oil Micro Mist-This spray gets used once a day to keep my ends from being too dry. It doesn’t make my hair heavy or greasy like other shine/conditioning leave-in sprays. If your hair needs hydration this summer after being in the hot sun, swimming in the pool, or just too much curling iron use, this is the one product you need!
