AFTER WASHING MY FACE, I RUB KUKUINUT OIL ALL OVER MY FACE AND NECK. I THEN PUT A CREAM MOISTURIZOR OVER THAT. I LIVE IN COLORADO. I AM IN MY 50'S AND MY FACE AND NECK LOOK GREAT!

This is one of my all time favorite oils. It has a "dry" quality to it - not a greasiness. I add a couple drops of it it to my facial preparations after the shower. I also keep a dropper bottle of it by the kitchen sink and use it on my hands. Now my husband has started using it on his hands, too. I understand it is useful as skin relief for people who have undergone radiation treatment.

This is a truly remarkable oil. Used as a moisturizer, it makes the skin glow and feel soft; yet the skin
does not appear oily or greasy. It feels healthy and healing when you apply it. I have tried more
expensive oil moisturizers, such as organic olive oil, and they do not even compare .
