Coconut Oil ! Say what !

Hi Guys,

So i wanted to talk to you about something that has truly changed my life : Coconut Oil. lets start at the beginning so you can understand why i am so excited about this product. I have always had really great skin even when i was a teenager and my friends around me were suffering from one of the main effects of puberty ACNE i was always lucky in that i never really had that problem. Don't get me wrong i would get a blemish here and there and a pimple here and there but they would be so minimal i would just let them ride out their visit and forget about them. A couple of months ago i noticed that my skin was beginning to look worn down, it wasn't very clear and also the break outs became more frequent. In my mind i thought it could be because of my hectic mommy schedule and decided to start cleaning my face more often . I would use a daily cleanser and a moisturizer and call it a day , sometimes i would make do a mask to help my skin revitalize itself. Yet i still saw no results, i noticed bumps and some blackheads along with redness around m cheeks and nose. My mother in law even got me a clarisonic which i thought would be a lifesaver , and yet it was not the case. I started to notice that my skin was getting worst after i started the clarisonic but i researched and some beauty gurus said that their skin got worst before it started getting better with the clarisonic.  I used it for about a month once a day and at night and i can say that even those around me where somewhat concerned because it was not getting better , i decided to stop using the clarisonic because i came to the conclusion that the brush was too harsh on my skin. That is when i came across a pin on pinterest regarding coconut oil and how to use it , i went to the store and purchased this baby and at $8.00 for a small jar i was hoping for a miracle .. and guess what? it has worked! just make sure it is organic unrefined coconut oil ... all i have been doing is using a small amount and rub it all over my face for couple of minutes and then use a small wash towel with warm water to help clean my face . I have seen a huge improvement in my skin, no redness, its smoother , the blemishes are clearer and the breakouts are slowing down . if you guys try this out please let me know how it goes and your result :)
