Everyday Coconut Face Lotion

I may have found my new favorite face moisturizer, everyday coconut face lotion by Alaffia. You all know I'm obsessed with using oils my skin and I rarely use anything else to moisturize with. Some of you mentioned oils don't work for you so I have been searching for alternatives. I also needed something to travel with as the oils always leak in my bag.

This lotion contains zinc oxide for SPF 15 broad spectrum sun protection. It does not contain synthetic fragrance or parabens. It's vegan, soy and gluten-free, non-gmo, and never tested on animals. It's loaded with neem and papaya making it an antioxidant rich everyday moisturizer for all skin types. Alaffia is a part of fair for life and uses certified fair trade coconut, handcrafted.

It's light, fresh, and leaves my skin super soft. It's also ultra moisturizing. Under makeup, it almost acts as base and helps my skin glow. A tiny bit goes a long way making the 12 ounce bottle seem like it lasts forever. It's less than $10 for the whole bottle so it's a bargain!

This lotion may not be for everyone. The zinc oxide leaves your face tinted white if you don't rub it in all the way. When I say a little goes a long way, I really mean it. You only need a tiny bit to cover your whole face or you will wind up looking like a mime. It takes a little effort to rub it all in so if you don't mind that, definitely give it a try. I got mine at a Wegmans but I'm sure you can buy it on Amazon.
