Coconut oil has been my everything

I am Indian. Everyone in India has used coconut oil. I have been using it ever since I was born. I have had skin allergies so was unable to use any creams or lotions. So Coconut oil is what I used on my skin. I rub it into my skin..all over my body and wait for half an hour before bathing. This is what I did for years until I grew up and got lazy to do it. But your skin feels like butter after this.

One day my uncle told me to try Nivea on my face. After 5 minutes of applying it I broke out in an itchy rash over my face. I rushed to the bathroom and slathered on some coconut oil (not because I knew the benefits of coconut oil...only because that was the only thing I used on my face). Then after a few minutes I washed my face. The next day or the same day ( I can't remember exactly...this was when I was 9 or 10) the rash was gone.

I cannot even begin to tell you what it does to my hair. Amazing.
