I like use seasalt in my bath water. I shave my legs under the water with nothing. Yes nothing. Legs, body, and hair are soft and silky without any lotions or oil. I will pick up the oil and see how that works.

This sounds interesting and will try it. I know you can put your hair conditioner on your body and then rinse in warm water. It makes your skin soft and smells nice too depending on what shampoo/conditioner brand is used. Will try the Safflower oil. I've used this to make salsa in the past.

also hair conditioner...if you left your shave gel at home while on vacation you can use hair conditioner! it works and leaves your legs silky smooth. I have senstitive skin and didnt have any problem doing this!

I love using this! And I can go many days without re-applying too. It makes my legs softer than anything else I've tried and it's more than affordable.

I will have to try it. I know that using mineral oil base products are not good for your skin, I use almond oil and my husband loves it to he uses it more than me.

Does anyone know which lotions might have this in it already? I use cocoa butter but there doesn't seem to be safflower oil in the ingredients with this lotion.

Safflower oil is good and I have used it in the past. But Grape seed oil works best for me. It absords in my skin supper fast. It is great for people with ruff elbows and callous feet. Apply liberaly to feet at night and put a pair of socks on. If you have severe dry elbows, cut toes out of socks and pull over elbows.You will be amazed at what one night will do. I also mix a dab of this with my stay in hair lotion, for I have very natural curly hair. It takes the frizz out and leaves my hair very soft. Enjoy

No, the best thing for your skin is motorcyle oil (70 weight) which is applied with a brush over your entire body. Then sit in the sun for about 30 minutes and you'll look like a million. Of course, you'll be a little darker than you were. Seriously, folks, where does Yahoo find these "experts"? Where? Where?

I use avocado oil and it works great. I get the cooking oil from the oil section at Whole Foods and use it on my body.... no smell so you don't smell like a salad either.

Whoever posted that "pure coconut oil" works, it actually is harsh on the skin. For those of us who make home-made soap, it doesn't lather - you can add coconut oil to make it lather, but soapmakers caution against it since it IS harsh on the skin.
