MemberI’ve heard a lot of great things about using Coconut oil as a lotion but for whatever reason I’m a little hesitant. I am super dry skin and so does my fiance so I wonder if it would help at all. Anyone used it or have any information of the best brand?
MemberI use coconut oil for everything… cooking, hair, moisturizing. I’d suggest exfoliating first (just with a loofah or something), then moisturizing. Jojoba oil is also good for this. You can get coconut oil cheap online or at Trader Joe’s.
Member@LadyMonster: Ditto. I love coconut & jojoba.
When you buy coconut oil, make sure it’s virgin!
I use it for my skin, getting rid of my baby’s cradle cap, diaper cream, cooking, and for personal lubricant (TMI! lol).
MemberI mix virgin coconut oil in with shea butter and use that on my skin (I also add Jojoba oil, castor oil and vitamin E) I’ve been doing this for almost 2 years and my skin has never felt beter.
MemberOkay so I know nothing about all this, do you wash it off? Or use it as lotion and leave it on?

MemberI bought some unrefined virgin coconut oil, but it is in a solid form. Can I use it as lotion too? Or should it be in a liquid form?
MemberI love jojoba oil. I have combination skin but it gets really dry in the winter. A couple drops of jojoba oil into my moisturizer works great!
Member@sapphiregirl: I have a friend who uses solid form as lotion.
MemberMember@sapphiregirl: It will melt in your hands, so you can use it in solid form. They don’t really sell it in “liquid form”, it is solid at room temp & melts at higher temperatures due to the saturated fat content.
I use it for elbows & heels when I have it. I also use it in my hair. I’m all out & it costs a fortune here, so I really need to order some online, which I haven’t done in a while.
MemberI use coconut oil as a moisturizer and cook with it as well, very good for you. I use it all over my body but it tends to leave a “film”. I buff with a towel afterwards and that seems to get the excess off as well as exfoliate a bit.
Member@jjmomma: For cradle cap, I massaged it into my DD’s scalp and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Then I took my fingernails (or a soft brush) and went over her scalp in circular motions until the cradlecap comes off.
Then I gave her a bath and shampoo’d 3 timed. Dirty Delete has long hair, so it takes a few washes to get it all out of her hair.
It’s the only thing I’ve found to work though. All the other “remedies: didn’t work well at all!
