I've noticed wonderful improvements in candida - sinus/thrush issues from taking coconut oil, but it DEFINITELY has been drying out my skin & giving me a suddenly wrinkly appearance - and that's from taking it internally only. If I were you, I would stop using the coconut oil. It's odd bc it makes my hair really thick & darker, but my skin on my face and hands is drier. Check out what other people are saying here. I see your post is from a REALLY long time ago, but I was confused and googling around about coconut oil possibly causing wrinkles/dry skin!
