There’s a lot of hype right now surrounding coconut oil and its uses, but one of the absolute best ways to use your coconut oil is on your skin. It may seem odd that the same product that can support immune health and an active lifestyle can also support your skin, but coconut oil is a multi-talented superfood!

Ways to apply coconut oil on skin

One way to use a Body Melt on skin is to lather up in the natural goodness after each shower to keep your skin soft and smooth. But, be forewarned, if you have a dog or cat, he or she may be close at hand after this. Your furry friend will likely love it, and that’s OK because it’s perfectly safe for both dogs and cats to ingest.

If its moisturizing benefits aren’t enough to get you to use Skinny & Co. beauty products on your skin, this next benefit might sway you. Using coconut oil as a lotion can also support mature skin and provide a glow and look of rejuvenation, naturally. This leads to a younger vibrant feel to your skin, without the use of harsh and expensive chemicals.

Why you should use coconut oil on skin

Coconut oil is nature’s answer to skin issues and a need for a body moisturizer. Typically, commercial lotions contain a lot of water. At first, this may sound intuitive: water hydrates, so water in moisturizer is a good thing, right? Not necessarily! Water in your moisturizer makes your skin feel hydrated until the water dries, which dries out your skin along with it. Companies benefit from making water-based products because they are cheaper to produce, but for consumers, this just means a temporary fix for a lasting problem.

Along with water diluting most moisturizers on the market, a lot of lotions contain petroleum-based product, which can suffocate your skin. Again, this is not helpful for you or your skin.

Using natural, pure coconut oil like that found in Pure Beauty and other Skinny & Co. beauty products actually supports skin in a healthy and sustaining way.

Final thoughts

To get all of these benefits of coconut oil for skin, simply place a small amount of coconut oil in your hand (a little goes a long way!) and rub it into your skin. Your skin will appear slightly shiny for a few minutes, but the oil will soak into your skin in about 10 to 15 minutes, leaving your skin hydrated and smooth. For the best results, make this a part of you daily routine.
