Hi.

I have oily skin and it has never bothered me.

I use aloe vera skin care mainly and pure shea butter.

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!

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.
