straight up coconut oil
Filed under: hair care, health and beauty, natural products, product review, skin care
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 nine. I’m deducting one point because when it’s really cold I have a little trouble getting it out of the container.

i hadn’t even thought of this as a use! but i do use after-shower oil in the winter. this would be so easy to use. and i have straight up rubbed the inside of my nostrils with neosporin because our gas heat is brutal.
Fancy! What kind of after-shower oil do you use?
Tell me what you're thinking...
