2. Kopari Beauty’s Organic Coconut Melt
After you’ve run your bath, scoop out some of Kopari Beauty’s Organic Coconut Melt, drop it into the water and swirl around. As you bathe, the Coconut Melt will help to moisturize your skin. If your hair needs a little TLC, slather it on your tresses and leave for 40 minutes (while you read a book in the bath, perhaps) before you wash it out. It’ll leave your hair and body feeling hydrated and full of moisture. You can also use it as a makeup remover, undereye cream, and even baby butter if you have little ones.

3. Coco & Eve’s Coconut & Fig Hair Masque
A bath is a perfect opportunity to give your hair some TLC. While you clean and relax your body, you can take care of your locks too. It may be best to leave until the end of your bath though, as you should rinse off Coco & Eve’s Coconut & Fig Hair Masque after around 10 minutes. The formula—which will help to reduce dryness and frizz, as well as heal split ends—is enriched with raw virgin coconut oil, fig essence, argan oil, and shea butter.
