Re: Using grocery store ORGANIC coconut oil to remove m/u before facial soap -- Yay or nay

The problem has to do with the fatty acids in the virgin CO. When they take out the fatty acids then the CO becomes a liquid (fractionated) and has been said to NOT to clog pores. @Shanus

@SilleeMee  I get it, but whatever the reason, I’ve worked too hard to have good skin at 69. Not chancing it. Thanks...

Personally, I use an oil cleanser (and it doesn't really matter what kind) because it dissolves my makeup and sunscreen but I  always follow it up with a regular facial cleanser to remove any traces of makeup and oil afterwards.  I would never leave an oil on my face. @Shanus If you always wash off the coconut oil after removing your makeup, it probably doesn't matter what kind it is, IMO

Thanks @Texasmouse. It just makes an extra step though. I’ll consider it before tossing the jar.
