Guest guest Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 Hi Lynda, Do you mean coconut oil? I've been suffering from very dry skin/eczema, especially this time of year (fall/early winter) for a long long time. It does run in my family. My maternal grandmother had terrible skin, especially when she got older. My mother has dry skin, too. Recently I've been trying to use coconut oil. Problem is, my husband doesn't like it when I use it to saute, etc. Any other ideas for adding it to the diet on a regular basis? I don't think I don't necessarily want to increase my over-all fat intake and I don't just want to spoon it in, but I'm willing to do that if it will help! What do you think?

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 You can rub the oil (coconut, olive, whatever) directly onto your skin, or bathe in it. That way, you don't have to ingest the oil. Also, drink at least twice as much water as you usually do. That's usually the first thing to try for just about anything!

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 My middle child has eczema that gets worse with exposure to heat, cold, or wind, and also has dry skin. Knowing nothing about our diet, my pharmacist said that he thinks it is a lack of omega-3 and recommended a supplement and application flax seed oil.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Hi, one of the nicest ways is use coconut cream or milk as a base for a curry, it is very nice but coconut is fattening, I would suggest drink at least 8 glasses of water or more, eat plenty of raw, esp fruit and this will improve your skin, the main reason most people get dry skin is because of eating too many cooked and processed foods(esp in winter) and not enough raw fruits and Veg's Tracy Childs wrote: > Hi Lynda, > > Do you mean coconut oil? > > I've been suffering from very dry skin/eczema, especially this time > of year (fall/early winter) for a long long time.
