Anyone using coconut oil?

Taropie:

I'm using it for my skin as a moisturizer now.

Thank you for the reply.

I came across this Bio Oil http://www.bio-oil.com/en/

By chance, do you have any experience with this?

I have heard of this product but have not used it myself. There are many causes to pimples or eczema. You may want to get a skin doctor to diagnose rather than get something from the counter.

On personal level, I have skin contact dermatitis problem, where anything from garlic to hair could irritate my skin. And I had ezcema when I was living in Scotland where the weather was cold. All I did was a lot of moisturizing and it helped.

Two of my favourite moisturizers currently to minimize my skin problem whenever I get the attack are Aloe Vera Gel and Emu Oil Cream. Good grade Aloe Vera Gel contains 96% water which helps to soothe and moisturize. Emu Oil Cream may be new to you but it has been used extensively by the Australians as its mostly produced there. The main component is actually Emu(bird) fat that is found in their skin. It has anti fungal properties and a natural pain killer too. I had used the oil(100% grade) to manage my shoulders' muscles pain back in 2008.

Currently, I am using the cream only. The oil is rather expensive and I would only buy it when necessary. Aloe Vera gel, on the other hand is affordable. You could get it from Watsons or even Guardian.

I thought me using horse oil on my girl's eczema is already quite unbelievable...

my ds suffered fr. eczema fr 2yrs.We bot a lot of lotion,cleanser to try on,brought him to see dermatologist.but no cure…I was very depressed.


After i took over him fr my MIL,i started to take care of him totally when he was P1,his eczema cured within half a yr.Other than kept applying lotion,i make sure his diet is balance,i cook every single meals,no outside food.Minimize artificial colouring,msg…etc…I also add more vitamin e into diet such as flaxseed.

my mil cooked the same old food(brocolli)n didn’t feed him enuff fruits.I think she also add MSG into soup.

perhaps it is good to review ur children diet n make necessary adjustment.I feel most skin disease is caused by improper diet n lifestyle.To boost immunity might help.

Yes, there is usually a trigger. Must find the triggers to break the cycle. I also suspect that for the kids who respond very well to these alternative oils, they are likely allergic to some of the common chemicals/ ingredients in most skin products.


Ds too cannot take MSG besides some common food items. We also had to minimize some environmental allergens and use specific type of soaps.

It can be time consuming, but it is such a relief when the eczema clears!

Talking abt detergent,esp clothes detergent,try not use clothes softener.


If my ds wanna drink any softdrink,it has to be colourless such as plain Yakult or 7up or sprite.

I only use raw sugar(heard that Aspartame is trigger for most allergic),sea salts for cooking. Bot most of my cooking ingredients fr. organic shop,now he is ok oredi,no relapse,so i slowly add some flavouring such as oyster sauce n tomato sauce into his cooking.
