Tips and Tricks for Making  and Using Coconut Oil Lotion

• Add a little beeswax to your coconut oil lotion to give it a little bit of a firmer feel and to help make it slightly less greasy. Be sure and add melted beeswax and add it when you add in your Vitamin E oil.
• I’ve found that I prefer this lotion on my arms and legs. I also like to use it on my face before I go to bed. It can be slightly greasy.
• The texture of this coconut oil lotion is very smooth and light. If you mixed it long enough it shouldn’t have any clumps and should be very silky.
• Coconut Oil will melt over 76 degrees so be sure and store your lotion in a cool, dry place. For this reason, I call this my winter lotion because I know it won’t melt in my home in the winter. In the summer I prefer Homemade Shea Butter Lotion or my Homemade Lotion Bars.
• As I mentioned above, you can always add various essential oils to this lotion as well. Do not use anything that will cause phototoxicity.
• I’ve found that the more that you use this Coconut Oil Lotion, the less greasy it tends to be on your skin. I’m not sure if the skin just begins to absorb it better but that’s what I’ve noticed!
