Organic "homemade" moisturizer (face, hands, body)

INGREDIENTS
Organic virgin coconut oil

DIRECTIONS
  1. Place coconut oil in a shallow jar that you can easily reach your hand in to
  2. Use as needed on face, hands, body
  3. That's all
  4. No, this is not a joke.  I spent a long time searching out different options for natural moisturizers, thinking I needed some concoction of a bunch of ingredients to get something good.  Not true - coconut oil is all you need.  Since coconut oil has a higher melting point than avocado or olive oil (and also something like vitamin E oil), it is usually nicer to use.  When your house is cooler, the oil will be a solid, but even when it's not it still absorbs quickly into the skin and is not nearly as greasy as the aforementioned oils.
