I started using coconut oil as an all over body moisturizer a few weeks ago and am just loving the results. It's Extra Virgin and Organic and makes my skin look and feel really great and I don't get any little irritations like I get from many body oils, creams and lotions. I figured if it were going to bother me it would have by now. Love it!

Only problem is that the dogs in my office think I'm a snack.

That was my problem with coconut oil on my body - my dogs kept attacking me! Lol. Every time I put it in my hair, my dogs start licking and nibbling my hair.

My dog tries to lick my legs. But, I'm liking the oil.

lol I've thought about using it as a beauty product but haven't done it yet. Maybe I'll try it this weekend, does it soak in well or do you stay a bit oily?

It really soaks in well for me. Not immediately, but I can get dressed within a half hour or so without feeling like I'm coconut oiling my clothes.

I've been using coconut oil for a while now and I love it!! I feel like it soaks in well the one I use just has a slight scent. I have terrible skin. It's dry and I have psoriasis but am taking Humara for that. Anyway I recommend it and I know it's good for my skin. BTW my lil Maltese also enjoys it! Smiley Happy

I really like it too. I mix it with my body lotion.
