If it seems like there's now an official holiday for everything, that's because there is. While most seem frivolous, some are actually worth marking the occasion. Just a heads-up that National French Fry Day is coming up on July 13 and several fast-food locations are giving away free fries. There's another delectable day when celebration is warranted: National Coconut Day. It happens to be today so we've rounded up the best coconut beauty products to commemorate the holiday.
The picks span several categories, from skin care to body care to hair care. A handful only rely on one form of coconut to get their respective jobs done. Others double and even triple the fun by including coconut oil, coconut water and/or coconut milk. They don't all smell coconut-y, but they're all designed to moisturize, whether it be your complexion or your mane.
Scroll down to discover the best coconut beauty products to add to your lineup in honor of National Coconut Day.
