It’s winter weather every few days around here and, needless to say, my skin gets pretty dry. Kirby started using the coconut oil that I used to make deodorant and toothpaste (reviews to come) with, and he mentioned it improving the condition of his hair. Following my next shower, I covered my body (with the exception of my face, neck, and chest) with it. Here’s what I think:
Performance- It makes my skin feel like soft, smooth heaven, and my (perpetually ashy) legs still feel moisturized at the end of the day.
Ingredients- It’s straight up coconut oil.
Price- I can’t remember the exact price. It has been a minute since I bought it, but prices on the internet range from five to twenty dollars. If you use the kind found in the cooking section (Mine has shrimp on the label. I don’t prefer it.), like me, I have a feeling it’s closer to five dollars.
Scent- It’s a very, very light coconut scent. It is in no way overpowering, like tanning oil or a sno cone. I can’t really wear perfume because it usually makes me feel sick, but I could probably rub this inside my nostrils and be fine. That’s not a bogus situation either. Sometimes excessive blowing of the nose will call for such extreme measures.
Rating- I’m thinking 9. I’m deducting 1 point because when it’s really cold I have a little trouble getting it out of the container.
