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.

After repeated trial and error with coconut oil, I must say that ingesting it is the most effective means of curing acne. Applying it on externally only helps heal the scars and control breakouts but eating the stuff actually kills the bacteria within your body that starts the acne. You may not notice a difference at first, or perhaps start breaking out even more but that is just your body detoxing all of the bacteria and pushing it out. Take 5 teaspoons a day and after about a month, you will start to notice improvements. Be patient. It will certainly help improve your diet which will aid in eliminating acne. Ive been consistently eating it daily and my acne is practically gone, not to mention my skin looks incredibly healthy and vibrant.

I know it might sound crazy putting oil on your face but I had crazy acne breakout..totally ruined my face. Mostly cystic acne. I used all the meds and crap and nothing would help it. So I took matters in my own hands! 1) Stop using all the topical ointments and any acne creams (this crap dries skin and just causes more break outs!) 2) Only wash your face with brown sugar. When I shower I would scrub my face with brown sugar. 3) Coconut oil. If you have acne breakout stop putting acne creams. If you can't eat it DON'T PUT IT ON YOUR BODY! I would saturate my face with Coconut oil..if you're not going anywhere that day..just put a lot of coconut oil on your face and let the healing begin. If you have very active breakout put coconut oil with your finger tips on every spot. You don't want to massage the oil and spread the infection all over your face. If you start breaking out with coconut oil don't stop. Coconut oil is not making you break out. These breakouts would have happened anyway. What a lot of coconut oil on your face will do is it will tell your body to stop overproducing oil. Because there's so much oil on your face you will stop making all the oil that makes you breakout from inside. I've been using coconut oil for over a year now and I will never EVERRRRRRRRRR using anything else for acne. When I get a breakout..I wash my face with sugar. Air drying it or paper towel..you don't want to spread infection. Then I put coconut oil on the spot..massage it into the spot and next day the thing is freaking small and almost gone. If this coconut oil doesn't work for you find another one. Find pure Organic Coconut oil. You have to give this treatment time 1-4 weeks...when your skin clear you can find another moisturizer or stick with coconut oil. Add some vitamin C and Retinol to your face. Now that my skin has cleared I use Retinol and coconut oil 2-3 times per week. If I get a breakout I just go back to coconut oil. 4) stop eating too much sugar and salt and even coffee. this stuff can make you break out.
