  • The Scent of Summer

    From suntan lotion to piña coladas, the scent of coconut is synonymous with summer. But coconut has much more going for it than its scrumptious aroma. Coconut has been used in health and beauty treatments for hundreds of years thanks to its natural ability to moisturize and regulate oil in the skin. Coconut oil, commonly used in hair care products, helps fight dandruff while conditioning hair while coconut's water, pulp, and milk are also used in a bevy of scent-ilating bath and body products.

    Luxury Products

    We're addicted to Coconut Cream Sugar Soufflé from Lalicious, a moisturizing sugar scrub that exfoliates and hydrates even the driest of skin. (Kate Hudson also adores the Lalicious collection.) Key ingredients, including coconut oil, sweet almond oil and cane sugar, combine to make a sumptuous scrub that serves up sweet scents and ultra soft skin. Coconut Cream Sugar Soufflé sells for $34 at Lalicious online along with Coconut Cream Body Oil ($24) and Coconut Cream Body Butter ($24).
