I had never heard of this until this thread. So I've been trying it too!

I am using coconut oil instead of EVOO. We use coconut oil for everything. (Our groomer even uses it in Reggie's ears - it has antibacterial properties). I thought about trying the EVOO tho too. What is it that some people "can't handle"?

It has definitely made my skin softer (to combat the other products that I use!) but does NOT make it greasy or oily at all. I use about 65-75% castor oil and the rest coconut oil. And it does seem to be helping with any breakouts too, but it could be too early to tell that.

This is another of the things I love about YT - the off topic ideas!!
