Question: can i use cooking coconut oil as lotion?
Answer: Coconut oil can work wonders on dry, itchy skin. ... (This won't work on the go, so make sure you keep one of these hand creams for dry skin in your bag, too.) And if you cook with coconut oil—you can sub it for butter in baking recipes because it's solid at room temperature—scoop out a little extra for your hands, too.
