Thank you for the tip on coconut oil!!!!

I found my extra virgin coconut oil in the supplement aisle at Walmart for less than $10 for a giant tub of it. After a week and a half of breaking out in new places on my face, my skin is now looking great. My makeup goes on smoothly and lasts without any oily breakthrough. Woo-hoo!!!

Did you break out a lot or just a few pimples here and there?

I use Shaklee! They have a whole skin care set. I haven't bought the whole set yet because it's like $160 or something but I bought the moisturizing cream. My sister has been using the set for like 3 months and her wrinkles are starting to go away! I don't have wrinkles so I can't compare, but my skin feels great. They have night creams and stuff and even my girlfriend that is allergic to everything is using it.

I bought mine here: Alejandra Miranda. I like her, she's very friendly and stuff. My favorite part is that they give refunds if you don't like their stuff!

Where do you find the coconut oil and the essential oils? I have no idea where to even start looking.

Castile soap has been around for many years, and it’s no wonder why. Castile soap is good for a number of uses, and homemade shampoo is one of them. To make Castile shampoo, simply grate a bar of Castile soap with a grater. Blend the Castile soap in an electric food processor or blender along with enough warm water to give it a thick pudding-like consistency. After this mixture is well blended, add about 1/4 cup of olive oil, and ½ cup of distilled water. Continue blending the mixture until it’s well blended and ready to use. This homemade shampoo will make your hair soft, shiny, and naturally clean.
What type of castile soap do you use??? Kirk's coco castile or a pure cold processed olive oil castile soap?

I tried the coconut oil on my face but it didn't seem to give me enough moisture. My skin still looked dry.

I like the olive oil and corn meal facial/body scrub. I can take the smell of olive oil but cant stomach the smell of coconut oil.
