RE: REMOVE REDNESS FROM ACNE & SCARRING
Thanks for this info @Brianturner! What's your take on the use of coconut oil as a moisturizer ? Obviously only a small amount so that it doesn't make your skin too oily... I'm asking because it's supposed to be antimicrobial, so in theory it should help with acne, correct? I find that it also calms any irritation of the skin, so it might help with redness as well.
Interesting...I try to keep things on my face to a minimum but I could see it being a good moisturizer compared to actual products that have twenty different ingredients. I would say to try it and see after a week if you skin can handle it or not. My only theory of it being really bad is that it's a saturated fat so when you face cold weather it would solidify and I'm wondering if it would clog pores in that case
I use it daily every morning (and Retin A in the evening). It works great for me. Coconut oil is also protecting against UVA/UVB rays (factor 4 from what I read!). I don't think the cold would be a problem since it melts like butter as soon as it touches the skin, and it would also be absorbed before you step outside =)
