A wise rule - if you can't eat it don't slap it on your skin, because skin is not a barrier, it absorbs.
I use coconut oil in food a lot-It's meant to be a great immune system booster and generally good. I go through a bottle most weeks with hair/skin/food/treatments lol

Is it sad that I actually clicked on that link-I've never seen a Dutch oven!

Re: Homemade beauty tips

Coconut oil is better than olive oil for frying.
One of these lasts me about 6weeks

Well it was a new one on me though I did know what the cooking vessel was. That's what I like about Eric - you often seem to learn something from his posts...

Hmm I'm trying to figure if that's cheaper than where I get mine, or not....I always use coconut oil to fry, and use it as a substitute for oil in things I cook. I've heard that heating olive oil destroys the health benefits as the healthy acids and properties it has only serve purpose when the oil is at a natural temperature. I'm not sure if this is definitely true, or if the same rule applies to coconut oil.
I use coconut oil all over myself and I also put it in the bath when I bathe!

Ah thank you, that's my entertainment for the evening

I feel embarrassed to admit I've not used an oven for 6 weeks-there's something wrong with my partner's (it's recently began tripping the electricity every time it's turned on!) and the temporary accommodation I'm living in I've not done much cooking!

Maybe I should add something fruitful to this thread;

Tea bags applied to a cold sore can make the symptoms pass faster.

Tea tree oil after shaving to help prevent ingrowing hairs and bumps

Chamomile tea with lemon juice can brighten up blonde hair and even slightly lighten it. It's best if you apply the solution as a rinse then sit in the sun-but because we're in Britain, using a hairdryer is a second-best option.

Potato slices are good for puffy eyes and dark circles, cut some to size and place over your (closed!) eyes and lie down for 15-20 minutes (The last part's probably the hardest bit!)The starch in them contains the same enzyme that's used as the 'magic ingredient' in many creams that claim to lighten dark circles..

Everything seemed dirty for me until I did that.

Re: Homemade beauty tips

I don't eat soya beans in any form.
I doubt you will find any that haven't been genetically modified.
The japanese only consume soy after fermentation (soy sauce)

Re: Homemade beauty tips

I know this.You do seem to assume that other people are very much below your level of knowledge. Many are, but not as many as you think.

I wouldn't eat any refined soya products, as you say, the way we prepare soya food products is what makes them harmful. The Japanese don't consume a lot of it despite popular belief, they consume it often but not in large amounts.

My enquiry was regards soybean oil, not for consumption though.

I favour soybean oil for skin disorders, which is why I was wondering where I could get it from. It's actually the main ingredient in a potential cure for coldsores and other viruses which is in its final stages at the moment, and the reason I am eager to get some. My partner suffers a few skin disorders and I've just got the first coldsore I've ever had which has really annoyed me!
I have sent himself to a health food shop in town to look for some anyway, and have been informed that it's available at Tesco. Thank you for your response though !

Re: Homemade beauty tips

If you wouldn't eat it, don't slap it on skin.
There are plenty of natural herbal oils for skin problems (which you already know about don't you)
