I'm pre-op but I have read so much about keeping skin moisturized especially after weight loss to keep the elasticity in your skin and help with the skin tightening.

Do you have any good moisturizers you recommend?

Let me know how it works. I put the heaviest application of coconut oil on my face at night after I wash off my makeup then run my oiled hands through my hair 'cause I figure it can't hurt but I didn't think about making a tincture mixture. Coconut oil is pretty freaking fabulous

So you can just put coconut oil on like lotion...sounds good to me

It's so good! I thought it would be really greasy but it's not. It dissolves into your skin and it feels so soft. I've made everyone in the house "feel my skin! See how soft it is!" and I like knowing there's nothing bad for my skin in there. I have a lot of lotions, but not one that feels this good.

Thank you so much for this idea! We just made it with a little leftover green tea and cucumber essential oil and it is soooo good! I tried the plain coconut oil the other day. Best. Moisturizer. EVER!! But the little lumps in it make it hard to spread. Once I was sure I'd like the way it felt, I harassed my husband until he made it (I'm not allowed to use the kitchen aid. Apparently I might break it)

I started using coconut oil- I sit the jar in a bowl of warm water while I'm in the shower and when I come out of the shower, the coconut oil is liquid form and I just pour on my hand and rub it on my skin and there's no lumps. But that only works for before I go to bed- I'd love to make the moisturizer the oil. So u just buy essential oils and mix it with coconut oil??!

Yes, do tell!! I have essential oils - love them

That's what Lucky T's recipe called for. We put in a few drops of the oil into room temp coconut oil (don't melt it, I needs to be solid before you can whip air into it) and then just let the mixer beat it up until it was creamy and a little airy.

Another good thing about the essential oil? My dog doesn't lick it When I had just coconut oil, she was after me with a vengeance, licking every exposed bit of ankle. Crazy dog

It doubled in quantity almost by the time it was beaten.
