strange reaction from coconut oil?

hiya :)

okie dokie, well, i slathered coconut oil all over my upper body yesterday, i rubbed it in really well and then let it soak into my skin... then i went to bed.. i woke up and everywhere the oil was, i am very sore!.. it's not the skin that's sore, but the muscles... as if i had just spent an hour working out... especially in my shoulders and forearms. any idea what may be going on with that, or is it just my imagination & i slept wrong? lol one positive thing, though.. i woke up more silky smooth than zohan's haircuts!

okay, thank you :D

How hard did you rub? I get sore muscles when I get a deep-tissue massage.

not that hard! lol just like you would lotion. i was thinking maybe some kinda detox or something? but i don't really know. i am curious if anyone else has experienced a similar reaction, or if i'm taking crazy pills again. lol

I've never had that happen, however I'm not able to use it like most people. Even though I buy 'the good stuff', it's just too much for my skin - almost caustic. That's not the word I want, but it just doesn't do for me like it does for others. My skin is sensitive...

I wish I could use it for my one and only moisturizer - what could be better? But I can't. I can use it once in a while, but not every day. *Ü*

Does it hurt?
