The Miracle Oil



Guess what has me so excited I had to share it with you? Two words, Coconut Oil. This stuff is amazing for so many things. Recently I had a huge breakout… and trust me; I do NOT get breakouts (with the exception of an occasional bump), but after trying two deep facial cleansings a day, then switching to a light cleansing in the morning with warm water, then changing my diet, drinking more water, changing my pillow cases every evening, going to the dermatologist just to have her prescribe drugs that I knew would only be a temporary fix… no way… I resorted to coconut oil. WOW, what a difference.

I was already using coconut oil to moisturize my body… I just love the smooth texture and coconut fragrance, and believe me, so much better than baby oil. So I thought, hmm, how would this stuff work on my face?! After all the washing I was doing to my cheeks, forehead, and chin, I noticed my skin starting to flake and dry out. So one night I dabbed the coconut oil on my face and slept in it overnight. The next morning, my skin felt supple and although the breakout was still there, the tone of my face was bright again, so I continued to do it every other day. Within a week, I had a very noticeable difference in the breakout and my skin was looking near normal again. Now, I am happy to say, a month into the regimen… I am acne free again. Thank goodness.

Now I know some people are wondering why you would apply oil to acne. Most people think that oil is the cause of acne, but that is not exactly true. What I found is, when your face is dry, your skin over produces oil in an attempt to moisten the skin, which then leads to clogged pores and breakouts. So if you assist the skin in getting the moisture it needs, it has less work to do and the healing process can begin. This may not be a cure for you, but it is worth a try. It is much more cost effective than going to the dermatologist. The oil is soothing to the skin and bumps. No worries about what chemicals are entering your bloodstream unnecessarily, plus you can use it as massage oil, a scalp treatment for dandruff or skin treatment for eczema. And even if you end up hating coconut oil on your skin, simply use it to cook with. Did I mention it was pretty good in coffee too!? I am telling you, this stuff is a must have, but only buy organic, cold or expeller pressed. Any market like Whole Foods will be sure to have it in stock.

Good Luck!
