5 Ways Celebrities Use Coconut Oil to Look Fabulous

Coconut oil has been on the same planet with us for centuries, but it seem like it takes a few celebrities to make a product visible. In other words, up until the last few years, we were still obsessing with aloe vera, but now that Gwyneth Paltrow is gargling it, Angelina Jolie starts her day with it and Channing Tatum smears it over his wife’s pregnant belly, coconut is
your new best friend. But seriously, coconut oil is insanely healthy. It is one of the “good” oils, so you can prepare food with it or use it as a beauty product! Check out how these celebs are using it!
