Hi BerryBliss - it's great to hear this feedback on your experiences with coconut oil. Because I'm really experimenting with what works for me right now, I'd love to hear more about this from you.
I find coconut oil dries me out to a painful level; it actually dehydrates my skin. Whilst Melb has talked about this before on another thread, I'd love to ask you whether or not coconut oil dries you out at all as well.
Also, because I live in dry cold Melbourne, I think the weather has something to do with it. In Hawaii, coconut oil kept my skin incredibly beautiful. What sort of weather are you having?
Hope you don't mind my obsessionality!

Best cheers, Niqi
