Hi

Is this natural English?

Then dampen your hands with the coconut oil and run them gently on your feet.

Hello, Your sentence makes sense. However, I think most native speakers would not use the verb dampen when referring to oil. Dampen is a verb that is often used when we talk about making something wet using a liquid.
