I have thyroid problems and also had read about coconut oil but it did not work at all for me, I actually broke out in a huge walking pimple, I was unable to metabolize it and my 2 doctors from Mayo Clinic explained that all those things that coconut oil was being advertised for was just that advertising in terms of the thyroid and health issues.It could work for face though.Don't mean to be negative on it just it really did not help me at all.

I don't use it every day, but when I do I put it on my entire face as a moisturizer. It does work great and it absorbs quickly. hth

Quick update:

I am currently using coconut oil mixed with shea butter, lavender essential oil, rose hip seed oil. I mixed all these together to cut down on application time.

My skin used to be really really bad with lots of acne scars, cysts and various ish. its not perfect yet but I can brag about it and the progress i have made using coconut oil and shea butter.

What type of shea butter do you use? Is it pure? What kind of store do you buy it from?

Pure coconut oil is so great though, I cook with it, put it in my hair as a conditioner, put it it on my face and body, it keeps you incredibly soft and smooth... it is just nature's miracle like aloe vera.

It is great to hear other people are trying it and finding wonderful results

I use pure(raw) 100% shea butter. I buy mine from an African store but you get can it from local vendors. Let me show you my shea butter stash so you can see what it looks like and maybe it will guide you. This season (winter) is also the perfect time to buy it because your skin tends to be chapped during the winter so massage it into your skin while its still damp (this permits easy permeability) and use your makeup. Oh and you can also use it on your lips..make its uber soft and ultra moisturized.

here are the pictures:

the last picture is what i currently use which contains coconut oil, shea butter, lavender oil, rose hip seed oil and hemp seed oil.

i agree, it's absolutely great for the lips. check also in healthfood stores. mine is unrefined, so it has a grainy texture, you have to massage it just a bit between your fingers before applying.
i also apply a good amount on my cheeks, and it does wonders against the cold.

I agree. mine is also that way and smells smokey.

Sorry it didn't work for you! I'm a little confused though. Did you ingest it? I don't know much about that, but I think most of the information in this thread is related to using it topically on your face/body. Try that and hopefully you'll have better luck!
