Inecto Pure Coconut Oil Moisture Creme, available at Shoppers Drug Mart, and Coconut Foaming Bath, from The Body Shop

Three months ago, when November hit, I became a bath convert. Having spent the entire summer determined to ‘acclimatize’ myself to the hot, humid Ontario summers by lying on the beach every day, I was finding that my (deep-golden-hued) skin had lost all of it’s insulation layers. The only way to keep warm seemed to be to submerse myself in (near) boiling hot water for several half-hours at a time. There is, of course, another reason to draw a bath other than just to keep warm: for the pure luxury of it all. Next time you are running the water hot, pour in a tiny bit of The Body Shop’s Coconut Foaming Bath and when you lie back and close your eyes, it will smell like you are back on the beach and just finished spreading coconut tanning oil all over yourself as the sun beats down at it’s fullest. The bubbles are full and resiliant even after several rounds of rubbing them all over your arms and legs, and your skin is left silky smooth. Dry off in a fluffy towel and follow up with Inecto Pure Coconut Oil Moisture Creme. Warning: this creme may make you want to lick your own skin off it smells so sweet and delicious! Unlike the bubble bath, this white magic actually has coconut oil in it. The ingredients are listed as 100% pure coconut oil, so if you – or anyone else – did, indeed want to lick your skin off, it would be totally digestible.
