D.I.Y. Coconut Oil Moisturizer

Now that the colder months are here I know that dry skin is a major concern. I know myself personally this year is suffering from some dry skin on my chin and on my cheek bones. What I have here today is a great D.I.Y. nightly moisturizer using coconut oil and a few drops of vitamin E oil. All you do is take equal parts coconut oil and vitamin E oil (just a few drops each) and mix them together. I wouldn't put this on in the morning just because this is a very oily moisturizer and I don't think any makeup that you would apply on top of it would last very long, even with primers. However, if you suffer seasonal dry skin or even year round dry skin this would be a great nightly treatment. Both coconut oil and vitamin E oil are very hydrating and healthy for your skin. You could even use this for patches of dry skin, I have those in the warmer months. I will say that you want to use extra virgin coconut oil because that means it is processed the least and will have the most bang for your buck. Coconut oil and vitamin E oil are very easy to come by. You should be able to find them in your local health food store. Or if you're like me and you live south of nowhere there are several places online that you can order from. I hope this was helpful and enjoy!
