How To Get Soft & Smooth Skin With Coconut Oil

Using coconut oil as a natural moisturizer is still lightyears better than the stuff on the shelves but it’s how you use it that becomes a game changer. The key to properly using coconut oil as a moisturizer is to break down the fat molecules by whipping it with a regular kitchen mixer. As a result, the oil will emulsify and turn to a creamy consistency making it easier to rub on skin.
