Jennifer Garner, 51, Loves This ‘Great’ Oil for Glowing Skin

The ultra-hydrating coconut oil is great for multi-purpose use—you can apply it anywhere on your body for a boost of moisture, from your face to always-dry spots like your heels and elbows. In fact, the uses of coconut oil extend to hair and nails, too: You can use it to soften up brittle nails as well as to hydrate hair and the scalp to encourage stronger, thicker strands.

Studies confirm that coconut oil truly does have great benefits on skin, hair, and more. According to a 2018 review of studies published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, coconut oil may improve skin barrier function and repair, fight signs of aging in skin, and even offer anti-inflammatory benefits.

Garner’s must-have is a top-rated best-seller on Amazon, with nearly 5,000 five-star ratings from reviewers who love that it absorbs quickly and instantly hydrates skin without leaving a greasy feel. “I have bought several different kinds of oils and moisturizers over the years, and they almost always make me feel like I have greasy skin or like my skin ‘can’t breathe,’” writes one Amazon reviewer. “This fractionated coconut oil absorbs really quickly and doesn’t leave my skin feeling greasy, but it does leave it feeling moisturized.”

Other shoppers love that the oil is odorless and long-lasting—and that it’s truly versatile. “AMAZING. This is my fifth purchase and it’s a holy grail,” one reviewer raves. “I use it after shaving. I put it in my bath. I put it on my stretch marks. I put it on my face during dry skin nights. I put it in my hair. I absolutely will perish if they stop making this.”

Not only is it a top-rated pick that’s loved by reviewers—and by Garner herself—it’s also super affordable. Make sure to stock up while supplies last—and check out more of Garner’s must-have beauty picks below.
