Coco crazy

I'll tell ya. There is so much to god damn learn in this life. My skin I thought I would never understand. I've considered it sort of like a plague all these years. Something to fight and fear. But maybe it's not really that complicated. Maybe, instead of going nuclear, we should nurture it with nature.

Which brings me to coconut oil.

The coconut oil selection at my local health supply store. I'm using the kind from Trader Joe's.

My dear friend H suggested one day that rubbing actual, undiluted coconut oil on her face might be working to help clear up her troubled skin. Rub oil ON my face?!?!? What's this crazy talk. Immediately I remembered that a different brave friend said she put this homemade balm of oils on her face in the dry winter months. CRAZY people.

But I ventured. I'm too tired to give you all the details, but, in essence, gentle is the way to calm bumpy/red/oily skin. Not harsh. Duh. The first person who taught me this was that Christina woman who owns philosophy. I used to like watching her on QVC. I've been using purity made simple on my face for years. I think my new coconut oil procedure will be a great addition to my skin maintenance routine.

So thanks, H! 

P.S. This woman swears to cook with coconut oil or ghee and never ever ever cooks with olive oil. I'm thinking she's right about that. Why assist cancer?
