How I Transformed My Super Dry Skin With Coconut Oil + Mango Butter (Over 40 Skincare)

How I Transformed My Super Dry Skin With Coconut Oil + Mango Butter (Over 40 Skincare)

If your skin still feels dry, flaky, or sensitive no matter what you try, this blog post (and video) might be exactly what you need. After years of battling eczema flare-ups on my hands and constant dryness and irritation on my face, I discovered two natural ingredients that completely changed everything: organic coconut oil and mango butter.

As the founder of Pure & Coco, I didn’t just create these products for others—I created them because I needed them. In this video, I walk you through my simple daily routine using our Coconut Oil Face & Body Polish and Mango Butter Face & Body Crème to show how these plant-based ingredients have helped me calm my eczema, repair my moisture barrier, and bring back a soft, youthful glow.

Why Your Skin Still Feels Dry (Even When You're Using "Hydrating" Products)

Many moisturizers simply sit on the surface of your skin. They may feel nice temporarily, but they don’t always nourish deeply or restore your barrier—especially if you're over 40. In this video, I explain why rich, natural butters and oils do a better job at replenishing your skin’s lipids, sealing in hydration, and protecting it from the elements.

A Routine That Actually Works

What finally helped me wasn’t another 5-step product lineup. It was simplifying. I pared down my routine to just two powerful products that support the skin barrier, reduce inflammation, and keep dryness at bay. I also share what didn’t work for me (and likely isn’t working for you either).

Natural Ingredients That Support the Skin Barrier

If you have sensitive, dry, or eczema-prone skin, this routine is gentle enough to use every day.

  • Organic coconut oil is naturally antibacterial, soothing, and deeply moisturizing.
  • Mango butter is rich in fatty acids and antioxidants, helping repair the skin barrier and calm irritation.

Both are featured in our Face & Body Polish and Crèmes, formulated specifically for women over 40 looking for long-lasting results and radiant skin.
