While it may not taste very appealing, cocoa butter has many benefits. Cocoa butter is great for your skin because it has a wonderful emollient effect, meaning it deeply hydrates and keeps your skin soft and supple. Its thick consistency makes it ideal for keeping skin hydrated in the winter. Cocoa butter is also ideal for areas prone to particularly dry or rough skin, such as elbows, knees, and heels, while micro-droplets of Vaseline Jelly are ideal for locking in moisture. For best results, use morning or evening, preferably after a bath or shower. Warm your hands and then massage liberally from ankles to waist, then from wrists to shoulders, and finally over the entire upper body. Vaseline body serums help restore dry skin. This radiant cocoa jelly oil softens dry, cracked skin.
