Coconut Milk
Coconut milk is rich in vitamin E, long known to deliver
healing benefits to dry skin, minor cuts and burns and rashes. When used
on a regular basis, the vitamin E in coconut milk soap can heal
severely dry, chapped or chafed skin, restoring it to its smooth state.
Note that hot baths and showers are incredibly
drying to skin, which
can counteract the benefits of
coconut milk soap. When bathing or
showering, use lukewarm water, and stay in no longer than 15 minutes.
