I am absolutely addicted to coco butter!
I first bought this a few years ago after reading about many different celebrities who swear by it ( yes I know I'm lame...)
I haven't found a moisturiser that has ever compared to it since.

The packaging is simple and a little medical looking, it claims to soften and relieve rough dry skin, as well as reduce scars and stretch marks. Having used this every day for a few years now my skin is always really soft and smooth and I don't ever get those annoying bumps on the backs of my arms ( I don't know what they are but lots of women seem to have them). I used to have a few stretch marks at the tops of my thighs, and they have faded lots since first using this product,

The coco butter smells exactly how you would expect it to smell - like coco! It is quite a strong smell though, I normally put it on before going to bed becasue, although I love the smell, I don't know if I would want to go to smelling quite that strongly of coco. Also make sure to rub in the butter thoroughly otherwise you skin may be left a little greasy which could then get on your clothes.

I use the coco butter that comes in the pot form ( I have bought it in the bottle before but the plastic is really hard to squeeze so you always end up losing some) . The butter itself is quite hard and when I first bought it I didnt know how I was going to get it out! but rub the surface a little and you should be able to dif it out. Personally I use it ALL over, but some people may just want to target dry knees or areas with stretch marks. I normally get through a 100g pot every three weeks, but as its only £3.19 from Boots it doesn't exactly break the bank!

The product also helps to maintain a great tan, after sunbathing whenever I'm on holiday I use this and it helps to prolong my tan and keep my skin moisturised. I have also started using the palmer's coco butter oil every now and then after a shower, this helps your skin to retain even more moisture so it's even softer. Also I regularly exfoliate ( Boots exfoliating gloves and Original Source almond scrub if anyone's interested!) which I think helps with the coco butter to make my skin really soft.

I honestly can't find anything bad to say about this product, it has done so much for my skin, I would definitely recommend to all women!
