what about is with OILY rosacea prone skin? yikes the oil would be a nightmare!
I really dont bother with moisturizers, I just wash and let be.
sometimes I use a teeny bit of aloe gel on my chin area, where I get some
tightness.
I guess the coconut oil is for dry rosacea skins.
my rosacea gets around my cheekbone area near my nose.
But IM REALLY oily!
does the cool cloth really help with the redness?
ive not tried that yet. but was thinking of trying it.

I don't think there is a drawback, other than the scent. I've had several people
recommend the coconut oil to me, but I haven't tried it yet. I would suggest if
you want to try it, get some and apply a small bit on a spot on your face to see
if you react to it. That way, if your face flares when you apply it, you won't
have it all over. I usually test moisturizers and oils that way. If you get the
coconut oil before I do, post about your results!

One person who recommended it, told me to apply it to the face and put a warm
washcloth over my face for a minute or two. For rosacea, I was going to try it
with a cool washcloth but damp, so the moisture from the oil and the wet
washcloth create a moist environment and see how that worked.
