Moisturizing your skin can help to prevent dryness, flaking, and cracking, which can be uncomfortable and unsightly.Here are some tips for ensuring soft, smooth skin:
Drink plenty of water
One of the easiest and most effective ways to hydrate your skin is to drink enough water. Aim for at least 8 glasses of water per day to help keep your skin plump and moisturized.
Use a moisturizing body wash
When you shower, use a body wash that contains hydrating ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, or glycerin. This can help to lock in moisture and leave your skin feeling soft and smooth.
Apply body lotion daily
After you shower or bathe, apply a body lotion or cream to your skin to help lock in moisture. Look for products that contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or urea, which can help to hydrate and nourish your skin.
Exfoliate regularly
Exfoliating your skin can help to remove dead skin cells and allow your moisturizers to penetrate more deeply. Try using a gentle exfoliating scrub once or twice a week to help keep your skin smooth and soft. A funky, easy scrub is the one from Skin Gourmet.
Apply a body oil
Body oil can help to seal in hydration and prevent moisture loss from your skin. The oils in body oil create a barrier on the surface of your skin, which helps to prevent water from evaporating from your skin's surface. This barrier helps to lock in the moisture that your skin needs to stay hydrated, soft, and supple.

It is made from cold pressed natural coconut oil in which a tuberose flower has been immersed, allowing the wonderful scent of this nocturnal flower to be naturally absorbed into the oil through a traditional African enfleurage process.
