I think now that its getting colder, im going to slowly up my fat intake (more coconut, coconut oil and avocados). last winter my skin got so horribly dry and rough from the cold air and i want it to stay nice and soft. of course moisturizing with coconut oil daily will help too.

    I'm just lovin how the coconut oil is helping my skin! My whole body is responding -- and it's awesome! My complexion is better and over all my skin is definitely softer! how cold does it get where you are?

    I think that's a very smart idea. My lips and hands used to get so chapped in those cold Nebraska winters. brrrrrrr. My skin felt like a lizzard. You'll have to keep us posted if this works for you, ok?

    I love all of the raw-science going on around here!

    it doesn't get super cold but in the winters i'd say in the twenties, thirties is the average. also, the wind and lack of moisturize in the air can really take a toll on my skin. this winter i'm going to make sure i don't leave the house without a generous application of coconut oil.

    :) i love how coconut oil is so versatile though. i can use it as a body, lip and under eye moisturizer, etc. i also use it to oil pull and it works amazingly as an eye make up remover! i guess bc its a fat and most makeups are water proof but not fat "proof."
