Re: Advice for flaky skin

Wow - that's very cool about your face! It cleaned out your pores?? Coconut oil is completely amazing - it's like some well -guarded secret. Here's all I've learned about it so far:


Internal:
-It's the lowest calorie of any fat.
-It actually reduces cholesterol.
-It revs up your metabolism and actually helps you lose weight.
-Has parasite-killing properties!!!
-Plumps and hydrates skin without creating oiliness - you can eat a tsp or two, or use as salad dressing, or add to a smoothie.
-The more the oil smells and tastes like coconuts, the purer it is, and the better and stronger its properties. For instance, at my health food store, there was a jar of organic coconut oil for 9.95, and right next to it, the same size jar of pure virgin organic coconut oil, for 24.95! I bought the expensive one ;)
-Fantastic with pineapple as a pina colada smoothie!

External:
-Makes you gorgeous! Smooths wrinkles. Clears up cysts and dry skin. Fabulous in every way for your skin ;)
-Wonderful for hair - I can attest to this personally, too. Put some on your hair and wait about half an hour, then shampoo. Makes it soft and shiny.
-Great for scar healing. I've heard that stretch marks are greatly reduced by coconut oil, but am not sure if that's true.
-Supposed to be a great tanning oil, especially for raw foodists, who supposedly will not burn at all using coconut oil, just develop a healthy sun glow without burn or tan.

I'm definitely a fan of coconut oil! It does it all. I wonder what else it does...hmm.

Maybe I can get my jar of coconut oil to paint my dining room and do my laundry for me! Tweet
