Hi Patina,

I must admit, sometimes it is a little difficult to gauge the amount you need. If I use too much and my skin looks oily, I just get a piece of kitchen roll and mop off the excess.

When I used to use a "normal" face cream, I used to get spots in that crevice between my nose and cheeks. With the coconut oil - although it is so oily - I don't get this problem.

Plus, my teenage daughter uses it, too, and she has hardly any spots - which is quite a feat if I compare her to schoolmates. Somehow it seems to prevent spots, despite it being an oil!!! It has - apparently - all sorts of cleansing qualities, so I suppose that would explain it.

Give it a try: you might be pleasantly surprised! It's certainly more natural than any of the "regular" creams on the market which contain loads and loads of man-made chemicals.
