Winter is getting into my skin. I hate it when everything I used from the drugstore and shop like lotion and cream are not doing good for my skin. My skin is sensitive lately with products having perfume in it. I have tried many skin care but the outcome is still unsatisfactory to me.
This evening I made coconut oil out of 2 canned coconut milk. It only took almost an hour until I was done. As you can see in my photo, that is the coconut oil I have made. No preservative and no perfume including. I am now doing what my late grandma and late mother was doing. Making coconut oil for my skin.
Having a sensitive skin is not really good living in a country with winter season. I don't have this problem when I am in the Philippines and when it is summer here. Well, I have to do what my skin want.
Have you tried making coconut oil yourself?
I also use this coconut oil for facial and body scrub with honey in it. So, it doesn't really smell so coconut.

@thelme55 My mom is very allergic to coconut. Thankfully not lethally, but she has issues breathing when she eats anything coconut or uses anything with coconut in it.

I really need to do a scrub or something to calm down my gross dry skin on my face. I have no idea if coconut oil would be good since I also have an oily face.

@thelme55 Maybe I will. I want to start a good skin care routine, I just don't know where to start.

I have no idea too if coconut oil is good for your oily face. I would try if I were you @DesirousDreamer. Thank you.

I make VIrgin Coconut Oil. I do not go for the traditional way of making coconut oil which is by heating and boiling coconut milk until the oil is extracted.

No, I haven't made coconut oil. I don't go out much; and my skin isn't that bad.
