Coconut oil? I thought coconut oil was drying to the skin?
Here, we use aged ghar soap, or an olive oil/laurel oil soap from Aleppo. Perfect pH balance, great for skin and hair (you have to make a vinegar rinse though- 1 tbsp vinegar to a gallon of water).
Olive soap has pretty much cleaned up my case of hereditary acne. It alone has done what four dermatologists and a round of acutane couldn't. The vitamins have healed and smoothed out a lot of discoloration. It costs about a buck at the import stores around Detroit, but you can buy it online for the outrageous price of $10 each (but each piece is about 4-inches square).
