I like this Patanjali coconut oil since it is edible oil and is pure coconut oil. I like to use this to massage my body one hour before shower and it really has improved the texture of my skin. My mum has very dry skin so, she would apply this on her hands and legs at night before going to sleep. This makes her skin remain moisturized. I have also noticed that in summers, when we use air conditioners while we sleep, AC takes the moisture away from skin, so that way too this coconut oil helps to lock the moisture in the skin. I will not advise you to use this on the face unless you have extremely dry skin
