Coconut Oil for Moisturizing

Since I touched on "The Oil Cleansing Method" (which I am in love with for facial cleansing), I would also like to touch on using coconut oil for moisturizing my body.  Maybe I am spoiled with Bath & Body Works thick creamy lotions but I have tried this coconut oil for months now and it's a no-go.  It leaves me feeling dry a few hours after and has an oily feeling to start with (obviously because it's oil).  I am NOT a fan, quite honestly.

Yes, I understand the risks of "artificial toxins" being put into my body.  I've read the research.  With that being said, call me crazy or selfish, I love my Bath & Body Works.  I love the smell of it, the cream without oil, AND the way it keeps me from itching for an entire 24 hour period if applied right after a shower.

So keep your coconut oil for cooking and take a trip to the mall, in my opinion.  It'll be well worth your while :)
