I use cold-pressed virgin coconut oil all the time for my hair and skin. I love it. I don't
know why you wouldn't want to use it on your face, though? It's really helped my skin
clear up, and it gets so soft.
I just put it on before bed instead of during the day, so my
skin isn't all shiny. It's also great for make-up removal, on the rare occasions when I put
some on.
Some people recommended it for shaving, which I didn't find as good, though. It worked
well, but for some reason it dulled my blades much quicker.
