That's a nice question!
One difference i can think of is that usually you "używasz" personal belongings, towel, toothbrush. Using other ("korzystasz") choice implies a bit that you would use someone's else toiletry.
Yet this is not only usage and that difference probaly is not always true.
For example "użyj klucza 12 by odkręcić śrubę" (use wrench 12 to unscrew screw) is similar to "skorzystałem z klucza by odkręcić śrubę".
Very often (if not solely) "korzystać" goes with the concept of benefit, in terms of receiving sth or gaining advantage.
"Używać" not necessarily.

I think it comes natural, but that's a really nice question. 😂
I think 'korzystać' i 'skorzystać' is usually used to talk about services and offers and this is the only difference I can think of. When you want to tell somebody about some service that you use you can say 'skorzystałem/korzystam z tej oferty'. And 'używam tej oferty' doesn't sound good, but most of people will probably understand what you mean.
But when you're using your phone you can say 'Korzystam z telefonu' or 'Używam telefonu' and both are correct.
