Thanks! I think since its getting a little warmer I might have to skip the coconut oil and stick with regular moisturizer. In winter Ill give it a try again.

Ive also heard good things about pomegranate oil. Anyone have any experience with that? Where to buy it? Thanks!

Hi guys,

Just wanted to pop in and say that Giovanni Avocado & Olive Oil Ultra-Moist Shampoo & Conditioner are the best things that have happened to my dry hair in a long time. I love this stuff so much and I have tried so many brands! Fairly reasonably priced (not drugstore prices, but not super expensive either). I have found it at Whole Foods and Gelson's, and it looks like Ulta sells it as well. Just thought I'd mention it!

I used Weleda Pomegranate Oil for a while. I really liked it but I guess I stuck with coconut oil and camellia seed oil because they are more multipurpose. I use coconut oil for fever blisters (miracle worker) and a cuticle moisturizer among other things and I take my makeup off with camellia seed oil. But the pomegranate oil was a very nice moisturizer, and it wasn't too heavy.

It works great for me, Michelle. It works better if I catch it early, but either way it works as well as Abreva and it moisturizes too. And it tastes better.

Hi!

Just FYI -Paula's Choice Earth Sourced Products are on sale today for 40% off. I'm going to order another set - really like these products. They work well on my skin. I do need so supplement them w/ exfoliants and sunscreen but the cleanser, toner and moisturizer work really well for my skin (oily/combo)!
