Makes you beautiful inside and out: the beauty miracle of coconut

25% of 40 - 49-year-olds associate happiness with looking good. Models such as Gisele Bündchen, 35, swear by the tropical fruit as a natural beautifier: they use coconut oil as a make-up remover as it cleanses and cares for the complexion in a particularly mild way. It is also popular as an after-sun product - after all, it is a top moisturizer.

Not to forget: The water of the still unripe nut that all of Hollywood is crazy about. The reason? It is full to the brim with minerals and vitamins - so it has a positive effect on the skin. Oh yes: and it's also low in calories.

All-round talent when it comes to skin care

Summer, tropical beaches, delicious cocktails: we immediately associate the huge fruit of the coconut palm with vacations. But did you know that coconuts are also a real all-rounder when it comes to skincare and even make you more beautiful on the inside?

Protective barrier for the skin

Africans have been caring for their skin with the oil of the tropical fruit for centuries: rich in unsaturated fatty acids, it nourishes the skin intensively and makes chapped, stressed areas smooth and soft again. At the same time, it envelops the body in a wonderfully sensual fragrance. Top: In windy and cold weather, coconut oil acts as a protective barrier and prevents the skin from drying out.

Brittle, dull hair? The rich oil can help here too. Simply massage in before going to bed, leave on overnight - and enjoy a silky shine the next morning.
