What they say is true. Your skin can change over time. When I was younger my skin was dry. Abnormally dry. I could never put enough lotion on my skin, to make the dryness go away. As I got older my skin completely changed and I became oily. About 10 years ago I was diagnosed with having a sun allergy, at the time, it felt like the worst thing that could have happened. I loved being in the sun and tanning but this was also a great wake-up call for me. I started to learn about the damage I was doing to my skin, as a result of my skin allergy I had to put on sunscreen every time I went outside and for a while I was taking allergy medication. A few months ago I went to Costco and I got the Kirkland brand of lotion and it said it was hypoallergenic, but my skin got a reaction. I was telling my friend that after using the Kirkland moisturizer I was getting a rash that started on the inside of my elbows and all the way down to my wrist. I was so embarrassed about this rash because it looked abnormal and was itchy so unfortunately I was caving in and scratching. my friend told me about coconut oil and all the great benefits it has and she recommended I use it. she said it did wonders for her and she sent me a link which had a list, I believe it was 66 uses for coconut oil so I decided to take a look and I was shocked at the amount of things that you can do with it. Now I will admit I was a bit hesitant my body and face is sensitive, and I was pessimistic about whether coconut oil would be able to do anything for my skin. I decided to buy a small container from Walmart to give it a try. I decided to use coconut oil 3 ways as a shaving cream, a body lotion and facial moisturizer. When using it as a shaving cream a little bit goes a long way. it goes into a liquid form upon rubbing it on your skin, I could not believe the amount of hair that it took off of my legs and arms. My Razor ended up clogging and I had to wash it more frequently than I was used to and I got the closest shave I have ever had in my life. I will say though all the stuff that I did read online was true my bathtub was a little bit Slicker and the hair was sticking to the bottom of my bathtub, as a result I have to clean it more frequently than I was used to. when I was done shaving I initially didn't think I would need to moisturize but my skin got itchy and I knew I had to so I slathered it on my skin and if you wait 5 minutes It'll soak into your skin and stay moisturized and is the most luxurious feeling. My skin no longer feels dry, it is smooth and looks youthful and beautiful it has really changed not only how my face looks but how my body looks as well. I was hesitant about using it as a facial moisturizer because I know if my face did not agree with it I would just break out and I was so happy that I didn't because this is the first time that my skin has really really felt smooth without having to use a product that cost about $30 a bottle.
I purchase a small bottle of coconut oil every month, it cost me under $3 which is perfect for me. I do shop at Costco but when I did compare the price from Walmart to Costco I was getting more bang for my buck. Coconut oil has really changed not only my budget, but has also transformed my body. I do not get any more skin reactions, and my skin feels healthier and looks more alive.
