Coconut Oil

1. Stream Face. Put a towel over your head and lean over a plugged sink or bowl of hot water. 2. Massage a small amount of coconut oil gently into your face. Spend a few minutes rubbing into your cheeks, nose, forehead, neck, and chin, allowing the oils to penetrate into the skin and pull out wastes, bacteria, dead cells and other dirt. 3. Wring out a facecloth or washcloth in hot water, and drape it over your face to steam - it's just like giving yourself a mini facial! 4. After a minute or so, wipe away the oil, along with any dirt, using the washcloth. Your skin will feel clean, soft, and moist.

I have been using this oil for about a month now. I am 50 and still get adult acne! I bought a jar at my local GNC for 12.50 for 16oz. You start out taking it internally slowly to let your system adjust. I found the best way to do it is to add as liquid to my daily yogurt. If you scoop it out as solid you actually get more than you intend. I take 1 tablespoon 3 x day. As the oil hits the cold yogurt it solidifies and reminds you of the chocolate coating on an ice cream bar. This oil is great for your hair,feet, body and face. After shower I let my pores close then use the oil. A little goes a long way. Give it time to soak in before bed. It has cleared my face and my acne scars are fading as well as my few age lines!! Use it on your feet then wear socks. I now have more energy and feel great. ONLY buy virgin UNREFINED oil. AVOID the cheap LOUANA at Wmart. Cheap price means REFINED which WILL clog pores and arteries! Right now it is summer here and 100 degrees or more and my face is not breaking out. With the right oil applied right you will see results. I just found that NUTIVA can be ordered online at Amazon. If you sign up for auto delivery you get the best price and can adjust delivery or stop anytime! I now have two 54oz jars coming to my house every 3 mo. so I never run out! You will find this oil addictive and necessary to your life. REMEMBER good oil is white and smells of coconut. If not, you have REFINED oil that will clog your skin and arteries!

I use the oil cleansing method for my face just using cold pressed, unrefined virgin coconut oil everynight. Afterwards, I generously put on hazelnut oil over my wet face as it is a good toner and moisterizer. When I wake up in the morning, I put on a thin layer of cold pressed unrefined red raspberry seed oil since it has the best anti-inflammation properties and absorps super fast and does not leave a greasy or oily finish. The red raspberry seed oil also a such a pleanst smell to it, def aromatherapy for acne, lol. Bottom line is I have suffered from sever acne for the past 7 years of my life and with cystes, white heads, dry and oily skin, etc. Past few months I have had really good clear skin!! for the first time in those 7 years!!!! Using organic oils has cured my acne!!!

Oaky so I decided that I would only review a product that actually cleared up my skin completely. Now I've tried everything fom prescriptions, to not washing my face at all, but then I found coconut oil. This really works my face is completely clear. I now have super model skin after 5 years of acne. It sounds cliche but coconut oil has given me my life back. I tried because I'd already tried everything else, and it was my new years revolution to start using organic stuff on my skin instead of all the chemically processed junk. If your reading this and you wondering how it can work for you or how to use it it, he's what I ido. Everyday I take a bath before I go to bed, I don't even wash my face anymore i just soak in the soapy hot water. When I'm done I just rup coconut oil everywhere. I've tried doing it after I get out of the shower, and I've expedrimented with how often I used and as of now I only apply it once a day. It really is fool proof. I only wrote this review because it really worked, and if your like me and you've tried everything else I'm telling you try this. Oh yeah and only use virgin or "extra virgin", it doesn't matter which

So ive had acne for the last 10-12 years (i'm 24 now) it comes and goes, but its always been at least moderate. It hurts, its ugly, you know the deal... no one like the stuff. I had tried pretty much everything you can buy including fancy creams and pills from doctors, and most of it not only didn't help much, but a lot made it worse, or made my skin terribly dry and ugly. And if i did find something that would work a little, it usually wasn't cost effective to keep up with the treatment... Then i found coconut oil. I just went to my local health-food store and picked up about 15 ounces for about 10$ Make sure its cold pressed, unrefined, extra virgin, organic all that stuff. I eat about two too three tablespoons a day, and apply it generously on my face morning and night... it really work wonders.I see people with acne on the street nowdays and i feel like stopping them and preaching to them about coconut oil, but I guess that might be a bit inappropriate

I've battled acne for YEARS since I was 14 until recently. I'm now 23 and been using EXTRA VIRGIN COLD PRESSED coconut oil produced by N u t i v a. My very good friend had extreme eczema and it CURED him, and he made me a small batch mixed with tea tree oil. The first week I broke out a little bit more than usual and then everyday I've noticed less and less pimples. I started noticing a dewy healthy glow to my skin. For my skin, it's very boorish and oily, so I use TJ's tea tree oil cleanser, and then I made my own astringent (2 teaspoons of tea tree oil and 18 teaspoons of distilled water) on a cotton ball. I let it dry and then I moisturize with coconut oil. I use coconut oil now to fry and as butter substitute. I use it as an all over moisturizer, use it in my hair also. I love multi-use oils and these two, especially the coconut oil I swear by! I now have a celebrity like skin and it's all thanks to coconut oil & tea tree oil combination. :)

I suffered from acne for years, especially in my teens. As of late, I had been using drying, harsh cleansers which cleared the breakouts, but with serious consequences. A friend of mine mentioned to me that she used VCO on her skin. As a sufferer of acne, this sounded OBSURD to me. Oil on the skin?! Good lord, I can only imagine the breakouts I'd exhibit. Au contraire! I tried it and immediately saw results. UNCLOGGED my pores. And I mean REALLY unclogged them. My skin has never looked so beautiful. I can't believe it took me SO LONG to figure this out. I'm quite mad, actually. haha. I even tried it on my boyfriend, and HE loves it! You really can't go wrong. Just make sure you follow the steps. I steam my face, massage the oil on, and then steam again. After about two mins, I wipe it off with a wash cloth and voila! Try it. You must.

IMPORTANT! THe coconut oil has to be extra virgin, unrefined, & organic for it to work. It should have a strong coconut smell too. Regular coconut oil will clog pores! Look up the EVU kind and it won't. I love it bc I was trying different oils like avocado, primrose, and jojoba oil and none helped really. My skin was very red compared to my neck and was on a acne free diet that wasn't working for a month! I used the coconut oil and in an hour the redness was gone and my skin look 10 times better:) So I ate whatever I wanted over a weekend mainly bc I was sick and didn't care lol and used the coconut oil and guess what? My skin still stayed balanced. Try the coconut oil if nothing else has worked trust me.

Your skin will either love coconut oil, or it will hate it. My skin hated it, and it was hell. Here's the story: I had originally bought the "Vitamin E" product from my local Trader Joe's for healing hyperpigmentation. I did NOT know that 'coconut oil' was listed as an ingredient. Coconut oil is HIGHLY comedogenic. While it may work for some, it can be absolutely detrimental to others, myself included. My skin had its spotty days, but was never severe. I was actually sailing into a nice clear streak and had become interested in keeping myself clear and healing my hyperpigmentation. I was (unknowingly) using coconut oil for a couple weeks. The break out was immediate. It was a spread of cysts all over my cheeks, chin, and forehead. The cysts were so bad and so painful I could not sleep on either side of my face. They became so pressured and so engorged (and interconnected, I might add) that they began to purge themselves on their own. It was a nightmare that lasted for almost 6 months and I am still dealing with the repercussions now after 9 months. I could not possibly begin to express the amount of regret and the amount of suffering I've endured for such a careless mistake. Bottom line: if you are particularly acne-prone or do not know how your skin will react, PLEASE do not make the mistake I did, and PLEASE be careful as to what you put on your face. If you're looking for a good moisturizing oil that is non-comedogenic, I suggest jojoba as an alternative. It helped me through my nightmare break-out. I know this was a scary review, but if I can save someone from what I had to go through, it's worth it.

I had strangely dry & irritated skin around my chin a couple of years ago so I used coconut oil. It made me break out even worse so I stopped putting it on my face. I still used it as a shaving cream and nothing leaves my legs so smooth. Then I read it was good for thyroid health and I began having three tablespoons everyday in my smoothies/nut milks and sometimes using it for cooking. My acne started to clear up and my skin felt smoother. It's only been short of a month but this is the first month I didn't get horrible premenstrual break outs! So I started to put it on my face, just a very little bit every morning. It's only been a week but so far, my skin is staying clear and smooth. And as a last note, you must be very consistent when using it as an internal supplement. I used it inconsistently in the past and never got results like this until I had 3-4 tablespoons every morning. You may want to buy in bulk because you're going to go through a jar fast.
