I have to confess that I just don't get the appeal of coconut oil as a moisturizer. I used it (the good stuff, too) for a couple of months and wasn't impressed. Maybe it's my skin type, but it took forever to absorb, so I'd sit around with this greasy layer on my skin, and it really didn't yield noteworthy results. Moisturizer with coconut oil as an ingredient? Works great. But straight coconut oil... not so much.

It has a lot to do with ethnicity and genetics. I thought she looked much older in the photo of her on the beach. And, these are just photos. Really, most guys won't notice her face when her boobs are hanging out.

I used it this morning, and an hour later my 4-year-old hugged me and said, "why are you so sweaty?" LOL! Don't think I'll be using it again.

Me either, but I love using it on my hair.

This is what I thought too.

It's because Pharrell has aged really well. His looks haven't really changed much in 20 years or so. Seriously, Google 'Pharrell is a vampire', lol.

What does menopause have to do with it? (This is a serious question, LOL.) Would HRT keep you perpetually young-looking?

She is gorgeous! I can only hope to look that good at 52. Unfortunately, I like cake, pasta and red wine so it probably won't happen.

Not everyone can do (or even wants to do) HRT. And nothing will "keep you perpetually young-looking". Not even genetics. Eventually we all look old...
