Olive vs Coconut Oil?

MommyL2015

Don't use coconut on your face. It has a high comedogenic rating (pore clogging). Coconut is a 4 (out of 5) and olive is a 2. If you want a good oil for your face, get hempseed or argan, both have a comedogenic rating of 0

Nuh-uh. I use coconut oil all over, including my face as a moisturizer daily, and have for at least 2 years now. I no longer break out at all. I use it as a shaving medium as well, leading to extremely soft legs and underarms. Coconut oil is anti-bacterial and anti-microbial and I use it when I get a cut or scrape, and I use it for my kids when they get scraped up too.

I do use it for cooking, but not for everything. It's great in homemade pancakes and for stir-fry, and for oil in home baked goods because it's lighter than vegetable oil.
