Coconut Oil on Face

6 replies

DialsMavis · 02/10/2017 15:29

I wanted to share a revelation with anyone who might find it helpful.
I recently stopped using moisturiser on my face and body at night and switched to coconut oil.
My skin absolutely loves it!
I used to get at least 1 or 2 massive spots a month and they have completely disappeared.

I don't know if my skin actually needed th extra moisture or just didn't like the ingredients in various products I have tried over the years. I thought all the extra grease would make spots worse but no.

My skin is also looking brighter and more even and I definitely look less exhausted.
I'm only 36 so not wrinkled yet but the frown line between my eyebrows is also decreased.

My skin cannot tolerate coconut oil I get breakouts. I love it for my hair.

My face can't tolerate coconut oil or any form of facial oil. Coconut oil is ok for my hair though or sometimes I add some to the bath water. It's a ball ache cleaning the bath afterwards though.

It's strange isn't it? I was highly sceptical when I asked some one about her lovely skin and was told her secret.

In light of the posts above: I take no responsibility if anyone else tries it and it doenst go well!

I am usually a bit greasy yet skin dull at the same time Hmm(Not anymore) but skin not sensitive apart from to mineral oil

I use coconut oil. The organic raw pressed one from Sainsburys. It's fabulous.

I get huge massive spots from it - very random as I normally have dry skin! Love it elsewhere on my body & on my hair though.

It does wonders for my skin! I've been using it to remove makeup and as moisturiser at night for a few months now!
