coconut oil and shiny skin

June 18, 2004

I've noticed my face being very shiny over the last week and half or

so. The main thing I've done different is I've been drinking

smoothies with raw eggs, (refined) coconut oil, extra virgin olive

oil, yogurt, etc. Raw eggs I usually use. Coconut oil I haven't

used in a while, and I'm using twice as much as I've ever used (6-8

tbsp/day). EVOO I've used before in abundance off and on.

It would seem that the coconut oil is the main different thing. Has

anyone else experienced shiny skin resulting from coconut oil use or

use of other coconut products? EVOO probably helps too from the

squalene, but I haven't noticed it before during times when I've used

more than I'm using now.

By the way, I thought the EVOO would be gross in a smoothie and just

used it for health benefit, but I found that it offsets the taste of

the coconut oil well. Cheap coconut oil tends to taste like crap (I

can't afford Supreme, which is the stuff I really like, or TT, which

is second best), and at a ratio of 4:1 CO:EVOO the taste balances

well.
