Coconut Oil...on Your Face!

As I have made some changes in the oils that I am using to cook with (using only butter, olive oil, and coconut oil), I decided to try using coconut oil on my skin. In doing research on coconut oil, I found that it is supposed to be very good for your skin. So...I decided to give it a try.

Here is what I do. After I have cleansed and dried my face, I take a small amount of coconut oil (about the size of half a pea) and rub it on my finger tips until it is melted. I then massage it into my face. It makes my face so soft and smooth.

Here is an article that explains some of the benefits of coconut oil on the skin:

Why not give it a try? My next experiment is to try to make some lotion using coconut oil as the base. I'll let you know how that turns out! I am also experimenting making my own facial scrub. I almost have a recipe perfected. I'll post that once I have it tested.
