| Kopari, for next-level skin. |
Ever since I can remember, I have embraced full body moisturizer; yes, even as a gangly eight year old, I was prompted to make sure to put cream on my limbs upon showering. Between the salty environs of the beach where I grew up and the toll that the ever-present Southern California sun can take on one’s skin, making sure that one’s body was well-hydrated, both inside and out, was paramount in my household.

| I learned the importance of moisturizing in my formative years….jumpsuits–then as they do now–call for hydrated limbs! |
Last year, I tried a gilded and glistening oil from the coconut-based line, Kopari Beauty (initially reviewed HERE); smitten with its lush, high quality ingredients and ability to instantly moisturize my skin, my curiosity was piqued and I’ve since been eager to try additional formulas from the brand. Consequently, this post is dedicated to four of my favorite Kopari Beauty products for the summer season; after all, August is the peak time for last minute travels to warm and tropical places. From an all natural exfoliator to, perhaps, the most skincare utilitarian product on the market, this four will quickly kick your skin into high gear!
Kindly scroll on for more details on my current Kopari routine and images of Kopari in action as well as the Bottom Line…

| Four favorites from Kopari. |
(1) An oft-overlooked step in the quest for smooth and glowing limbs, exfoliation can ensure that dead skin has been sloughed off, making one’s canvas more receptive to the hydration that follows. In turn, I’ve been initiating my routine with the *Kopari Coconut Crush Scrub. A creative combination of brown sugar and tiny pieces of Tahitian coconut shell, this formula gently removes dry skin and banishes dullness without causing irritation. Every application–which I prefer to execute in the shower prior to shaving–results in silkier skin and the sensory experience is beyond!
(2) Once my skin has been throughly exfoliated, I apply a generous amount–post-shower, of course–of the *Kopari Coconut Body Milk. As decadent as its moniker implies, this luxurious lotion covers skin in a veil of hydration while absorbing instantly, for moisture that extends beyond the surface. The creamy texture, which is accented by lilt of softly sweet coconut feels exceptionally nourishing and when I apply it before bed (I generally shower in the evenings), my skin still feels freshly moisturized in the morning.

(3) For moments when I want to take my moisturizing routine up a notch, I embrace the*Kopari Coconut Body Oil. With opulent notes of gardenia and coconut, this incandescent dry oil can be sprayed all over the body for a cloak of illuminating moisture. I concentrate application on my collarbone and décolleté, on the top of my arms and down the face of my shins for limbs that glow with good health. It’s also fantastic for total-body hydration when in a rush…simply spray and go!

(4) Finally, the *Kopari Organic Coconut Melt is a utilitarian product for all seasons. Comprised entirely of unadulterated, 100% unrefined coconut oil presented in a beguiling texture that appears solid but melts on contact, this 100% organic, vegan, phthalate-free, cruelty-free and GMO-free formula can be used to moisturize the skin (including the face and lips), remove makeup, fortify bathwater, act as a dry-shave oil for the smoothest legs in town, deep-condition hair, smooth the delicate skin of a baby and revive the under-eye region. I love that it comes in a. 7 oz. glass jar (pictured) for countertop convenience but it also is available in a 2.5 oz mini version for travel and purse portability. If your experience with the Coconut Melt is anything like mine, once you try this multitasking wonder, you’ll likely deeply question how you ever lived without it.

Have you tried Tatcha's body products? The soothing silk body butter, soothing black sugar body homage, and the new limited edition body mist are simply divine.
I have not…but I super appreciate the suggestion!
Will investigate ; )
