Oncearunner ... may I ask what kind of coconut oil? Fractionated? Unrefined? Refined? I have some unrefined tubs of the stuff here for cooking that I never end up using. Plus, I avoid using coconut oil in my practice because the smell just makes people hungry (like cocoa butter does!) However, if I can get rid of this scaly red stuff on my face ... I'm in!
This facial stuff and sjogen's-like stuff is really blowing my mind because I have spent a lifetime being so "oily" that I needed to soap and loofah my face, hair, and scalp every. single. day. Missing even one day would send me into itchy-itchy land and I'd have to resort to a dandruff shampoo. So, the upside is that I only have to shampoo about twice a week now. But adjusting to all this dryness is difficult because it is so foreign to me!
