I tend to steer clear of coconut oil as is can be comedogenic. There are a lot of lists online that rate oils/ingredients on their acnegenic and irritant rating. Here's one for example:
http://authenticwellness.ca/comedoge...edogenic-oils/ If you don't have acne-prone skin, coconut oil is probably OK.

I found good "recipes" for homemade skin care (and household cleaning products) on this site:
https://livesimply.me/ I think I made a coconut oil moisturizer last year - I think it was coconut and aloe. Donna |

I think Dr Dray is not a fan of using oils by themselves, but she says you can top them with a moisturizer. That way it seals them in, and they don't slip off.

But I don't follow everything that Dr Dray recommends. I eat meat and I am not giving up my makeup, lol. I don't agree with Paula on everything either, but I will always have a fondness for her. I never knew I had a fragrance allergy, and following her advice to avoid fragrance did wonders for my skin.

If anyone likes Philosophy products, Macys has them on sale with free shipping.
I admit to ordering the Gingerbread set mainly because I love their lip glosses.

I like fragrance, but not in facial care products!

I agree, fragrance on my face - yuck! I am not allergic, but I hate smelling fragrance on my face all day. I don't even like fragranced facial cleansers, that you rinse off.
I think Dr. Dray is pretty fair - she will mention that certain ingredients have the potential to cause problems, but that not everyone will react to them. I also like how she says she can never predict if someone will have a problem, react, or break out from something - that is honest, at least - we're all individuals and will react or not react to different things.
