I know what you're thinking. This is obviously just some oil with a coconut scent. Who wants to smell like coconut all the time, isn't that what sunscreen should smell like? Not really appealing. All of that is wrong.First of all, this oil does not smell like coconut. To me it has a light herbal scent, but a bit tangy with some lavender scent. I know I've smelled something like this before and could likely do a better job of explaining, but it is escaping me at the moment. I'll update when I think of it.
The coconut in the name actually refers to the coconut oil that is the main ingredient in this oil. Apparently coconut oil is quite a bit smaller in structure than other oils, so it is more easily absorbed into the skin. The formula also contains quite a few other herbal ingredients such as lavender, rosemary and green tea. Many act as anti-oxidants in addition to hydrating the skin.
I've been using the oil immediately before I get out of the shower. It sinks in right away and I don't need another moisturizer over it. It's the perfect summer moisturizer.

Christine,
ReplyDeleteI know you have talked about this before, but I thought it might be in the bath post.
What is/are your current deodorant(s)? I'm moving to a new office and increasing my work hours and I must wear nicer clothes too and don't want to mess around with failing deodorant. Thanks!!!
Cindy
Hi Cindy!
ReplyDeleteMy fave is Secret Waterproof, I swear this stuff is amazing. My only issue is that it seems to stick around in the shower? I kind of have to scrub a little to get it off so I can shave. Otherwise it junks up the razor. It took me a while to realize this, hence it isn't mentioned in the review. Not a big deal, I just scrub for a few extra seconds, but make sure you take the time to do it or you'll risk your razor like I have. :D
Congrats on the new job!
I love applying body oil after shower. It provides long lasting moisture on my skin. I use the one from Omorovicza. It Firming Body Oil which is easily absorb by the skin.
