This ingredient will transform your bum and make your skin glow
We all went cray-cray for coconuts a couple of years back, but in recent months they seem to have been banished to that ‘superfoods-done-to-death’ territory (also home to blueberries, acai and quinoa). Well coconuts might not be the media stars they once were (so fickle) but they never left our hearts, pantries or beauty cupboards, and we’re just as committed as ever to reaping the benefits of this beauty-boosting ingredient. So we’ve rounded up our pick of the newest and most-talked about beauty products to recently hit the shops – and they just so happen to contain our favorite fruit as a key ingredient. Coincidence? Definitely not.
Evolve Organic Beauty Radiant Glow Face Mask

Coconut shell powder, sweet almond oil and raw cacao powder work in perfect superfood harmony to buff repair and rejuvenate skin to glowing gleaming perfection.
Coco-what? Coconut Shell Powder plays the roll of exfoliator, delicately buffing away dead skin cells and leaving skin smooth, soft and brightened.
