Try probiotic supplements; there are studies about the connection between bacteria and skin. I like PB8 because it has a minimum of ingredients (I have horrible reactions to dyes), but you can experiment and see what works for her. Hi Kristi,

I have been rubbing my whole family with it today. :) However, it doesn't have a sweet scent. This is "Pure Coconut Oil". Should I purchase an extra virgin type? Or should I just try another brand? Any suggestions? I purchased my first bottle of CO today. I have been rubbing my whole family with it today. :) However, it doesn’t have a sweet scent. This is “Pure Coconut Oil”.

Maybe a long shot, but I'm pregnant now and can't use the stuff I used to use to get rid of acne....and nothing else works....and I'm more broken out now than I've ever been! I was thinking of using it to wash my face (a friend of mine said she used to use olive oil as a facial cleanser).

BTW, I'm a medical student and just worried prolonged use of coconut oil for cooking can lead to lots of (cardiovascular) heart problems, so please be cautious. kk sorry to rant and run, but I got to go. xox P.s My family use hot oil treatments with coconut oil, as its so fatty its good for skin and hair, heat in microwave, till its warm, (not hot) just warm, massage in to hair, leave over night either rapped in scarf over your hair, for your pillow, or leave it unwrapped, if you have a spare pillow case on it, then wash it out in the morning with shampoo, it will leave it soft, shiny and nourished.
