So I have heard a lot of things about coconut oil being good for skin, I feel like just rubbing oil on your face will make it break out worse though? How many times a week would you use the coconut oil? Would you use it before bed and wash it off or leave it on? Someone please help! What brand do you use and how often and does it really really work?!

I use it every night and every morning (less). It doesn't make me break out (and trust me, EVERYTHING makes me break out!) I leave it on all the time, and yes it really really works!;) Use ORGANIC, VIRGIN coconut oil...anything else "could" (WILL) make you break out if you have sensitive skin. I haven't seen many people saying they use it during daytime, but I'm a stay at home mom so I do. But if we go out, I don't wash it off my face, I just primer and makeup as usual. I use more at night (to where my face has a slightly greasy feeling) and less in the morning (to where my face does not feel greasy). It comes in a solid form, but melts eaaaasy, I have a small jar that I transfer some to so that I don't need to use the large jar that it comes in. I use a spoon to get it out (I don't like dirty fingernails ha) and you just baaarely scrape it to get it out. You need such a small amount! And hey, even if you don't like it for your skin, you can always use it for a hair treatment or to cook with:) This is what I use:

This is how much I use for my face (and then I have a little leftover on my hands, which is awesome:) such soft hands!!) p.s. the spoon in the pic is a measuring spoon, it is 1/8tsp! TINY! so if you were to use a regular table spoon it would be the equivalent to like, HALF of a pea sized amount...if even that. Try it girl!!

I agree with everything Desiree has to say (: This product is amazing. I use it to remove my makeup and as a night moisturizer. In the mornings I use Cetaphil. I also use it as a hair mask. The one I use looks like this and I got it at walmart (:

Okay I have to try Walmart then! I looks in shop rite, stop&shop (2), pathmark and 2 targets but couldn't find either! Did not think of trying Walmart though! I did find the refined version of the one Desiree has but I know yours is unrefined so I am looking for that one.
