So for most of my life I had been plagued with annyoingly dry skin in random patches every now and then. They would clear up after applying lotion or whatever for a few weeks but they were never that bad. The past year though I have had the side of my hand and a couple fingers look like a molting lizard due to how dry and cracking they were. On the worst days I would actually start bleeding if I bent my fingers too quickly cause my skin was too hard and would tear. No matter what I used nothing seemed to help either, and I was in a perpetual state of inconvenience as every time I would wash dishes or laundry (which I have to do by hand) it would sting the open rips on my hand. Until, coconut oil.
This could be like a loving advertisement or some stuff but after less than two weeks of twice daily application of coconut oil to the dry skin and the lizard molt is finally dissapearing and my hand looks socially acceptable once again. It actually looks like regular normal skin now, and comparatively is even less dried out than other patches in the past.
Also coconut oil is a great substitute for any cooking oil you have to heat, whereas things like canola oil and corn oil put off carcinogens when heated, and olive oil degrades in quality over heat. My favorite is coconutoil popcorn. :D
Also you can like use it for hair conditioner and soap and whatnot.
So yeah, coconut oil. Good stuff.
