Coconut Oil On Face (and Olive oil)

[tallnomad]

Hi--I have acne prone skin which is very oily. I'm moving and couldn't find my regular moisturizer, so I remembered I had an unopened jar of raw coconut oil in the fridge. I put that on my face and hair. I use mineral makeup and put some on my face and my skin looked SO great! It actually dried up a few already existing pimples.

This will now be my moisturizer. My skin looked really smooth, and supple almost creamy!

Wanted to ask if any of you have every washed your face with coconut oil? I'm tempted to start using this as a face wash. I know a lot of ladies use olive oil so, does anyone have a preference or alternate between the two?

Thanks!

Bumping this old post. Has anyone ever used coconut oil when using the OCM?

I tried it, but don't remember why I didn't like it. I do use coconut oil as my moisturizer all over my body, but for OCM on my face, I prefer EVOO.

I use EVOO to remove my makeup and sometimes as a moisturizer before bed. I used to use EVCO but noticed I always felt like there was a thin layer of something on my skin after a couple hours. The EVOO is absorbed much better by my skin, and hair too.

i too use(d) EVOO on my face but when i buy EVCO one of the 25945438942634 things i will use it for include moisturizing my skin. i think i have heard of women using coconut oil with OCM but i dont have personal experience.

Thanks for the replies! I think I'll stick to my EVOO for OCM and save the EVCO for exfoliating and moisturizing at night ..

Coconut oil is a great moisturizer for me. I use EVOO for cleansing and coconut oil after the cleansing as a moisturizer. Works really well.
