Allegedly coconut oil is a good lube. I cannot verify this, because I'm unwilling to experiment with a system that works.
There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

I use the straight oil, not a lotion. By the time I get from my bathroom to my bedroom, where I dress, it's pretty much melted into my skin, and I haven't noticed any transfer onto clothes. My the oil stays on my face a bit longer because I really slather it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I also use coconut oil for moisturizing. Just the oil, I've never seen the lotion. It soaks in fast and works really well. Also my cats like to lick it off my hands and legs, so that's fun. It's probably good for them.

I'm using coconut oil for everything these days. I bought a huge pot at Costco and am loving it.
I even made my own toothpaste with it and I really like it.

Because books.
I think the trick is using it right out of the shower, or that's what they've always said. I should try it, too. I actually have some almond oil -- maybe I should finish that first and see how well it works.

I use coconut oil for lotion all the time, and it absorbs in right away for me. But my absolute favorite moisturizing product is Bee Magic.

Sara, I love that you have neighbors who rescue you from the roof, but I especially love that they take pictures first.

I've simmered through 3 kettles of water and my kitchen windows aren't even fogging and it is 11 out (they sometimes do when I have a lot of dishes.) Found my penguin humidifier and turned it on in my bedroom, stupid mineral powder dusting bedamned.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I use baby oil, which I slather on last thing in the shower, then turn off the water. It doesn't get me oily and it saves my extremely dry skin.

I used coconut oil, but in the shower. It moisturizers great, but stogs the drains.
