Bethenny Frankel's thrifty beauty hack uses this body oil, down to just $7 ahead of Prime Day
The star sticks with a tried-and-true favorite from Palmer's to keep her skin hydrated and smelling fantastic for less.
Bethenny Frankel knows beauty, and she loves sharing info about her go-to products — especially ones she can find on the drugstore shelves. One of her favorite low-cost beauty buys is Palmer's Coconut Hydrate Body Oil. The Real Housewives of New York City star gushed on TikTok, "I love, love, love, love [it]." And you may just fall in love, too — right now, Palmer's is a mere $7 ahead of Prime Day.
Made with fair-trade certified-organic extra-virgin coconut oil — with an assist from Tahitian monoi oil — this treatment is well-loved for moisturizing and softening skin.
Why is it a good deal? 💰
Popular scented body oils can cost $65 or more. Why spend so much when you can get the same effect for a tenth of the cost? Bethenny also said Palmer's has "the right thickness of oil" and called out its coconut scent. Think about it: You can customize your Palmer's with a different scent every time you use it, rather than shelling out big bucks for just one scent. And a $7 bottle of Palmer's will last you quite a while.
Why do I need this? 🤔
On Bethenny's TikTok, she advised adding just a few spritzes of your favorite fragrance to your hands and mixing with Palmer's. Whether it's cologne, perfume or essential oils — just a couple of drops are all you need.Aside from Bethenny's fragrance hack, Palmer's oil has plenty of skin-pampering properties, fans say. This blend, which includes Tahitian monoi oil, rejuvenates and replenishes the skin's moisture and radiance. It's also formulated to absorb into the skin without the greasy mess of some body oils. And, of course, it has a light, sweet coconut fragrance of its own. Apply it after showering for maximum hydration or anytime your skin needs a boost.
What reviewers say 💬
Over 11,000 Amazon reviewers have given Palmer's Coconut Hydrate Body Oil a five-star rating, with many raving about its "luxurious" feel. And more than 4,000 have been bought in just the past month.
Pros 👍
"I love all Palmer's coconut products! But this is my absolute favorite!" said a happy customer. "I use it right out of the shower while still wet. It absorbs beautifully. Not oily, feels amazing! Keeps my skin moisturized all day! Please never discontinue this — I never wanna be without it."
Another shopper said, "For the last couple of years, the skin on my legs has been very dry. It was ashy, almost papery and had developed ingrown hairs. Any lotion or cream I used was not being absorbed or helping in any significant way. I've used this oil a few times so far on my damp legs right out of the shower, and my legs are getting better each time. They already look and feel so much better."
"It is light, has a mild, sweet fragrance and leaves my skin glowing," raved a third. "I also tried it on my legs after shaving. Wow wow wow! Usually, my legs start itching and I have horrible dry skin in the winter, but not with Palmer's! I actually enjoy shaving my legs because I won't be itchy, just silky smooth skin that smells like coconut."
Cons 👎
Some fans say the bottle could be better. "The oil itself is luxurious, absorbing beautifully into my skin and leaving it feeling incredibly soft and hydrated, without any greasy residue," reported a generally satisfied user. "The only drawback I've noticed is the pour cap, which tends to leak a bit, so I have to be careful when using it."
"Please note, the dispenser doesn't spray a mist onto the area like you would think," wrote a final fan. "It just squirts a little stream. ... It helps to stand on a towel to catch any drips that sometimes happen." That said, they added, "My favorite time to use is immediately after shaving when my skin is still damp. I'm sure some rubs off on my clothing, but there is no staining or oily spots. I absolutely love this moisturizer."
This versatile oil is formulated to moisturize skin for up to two days — not too shabby for $7.
And as for another on-sale BFF (Bethenny Frankel fave):
"I'm a vitamin C girl. I don't drink my orange juice, but I put vitamin C serum on every day," Bethenny shared on her YouTube channel. This serum contains a high concentration of Vitamin C along with tripeptides and green tea extract to help restore skin to its youthful, glowy best.
