I avoid unsaturated fats, and as expected my skin has become extremely
dry.
Of-course, this is no reason to stop avoiding unsaturated fats,
compared
to the advantages I might get from this avoidance.

However, I need to ease the dryness problem, because my skin is
cracking.

I don't want to use synthetic creams made from petrochemicals.
I tried to spreading coconut oil on my skin, but it does not get
absorbed into the skin, which remains oily, and instead my clothing
absorb it and it is wasted.

I would like to know, since you also avoid unsaturated fats, and wrote
once, that you had dry skin, how you deal the problem?
and also:
- What natural substance I can use, which will be absorbed by my skin.
- or is there is something to do with the coconut oil, so it will be
absorbed.
- or is there another solution (for example something I can eat or
other systemic things)

thanks

In the beginning of the internet some clever guy came up with an astounding
idea how to transmit a message to another guy on the internet.. he called it
email.. maybe you would like to think about that concept?
A bulletin board system is not the next best option.

My skin was in bad shape before avoiding dietary PUFAs, but as I said
in another post, you should drink more. Tropical fruit juice with no
additives, white teas, lighly roasted coffee, or club soda are good.
I've been using coconut oil as a skin moisturizer, giving up the other
stuff I've used, like aloe vera, etc., and it works great.

>From the Encyclopedia Britannica Book of the Year, 1948, page 121:
"Pyridoxine was found to relieve the deficiency state resulting from
absence of dietary fat... This contradicts the idea that linoleic acid
cannot be synthesized by by rat tissues..."

So you might want to make sure you are getting enough of this B
vitamin. But it is true that you will no longer be "greasy." You can
go for days without taking a shower, actually, as long as you don't do
any strenous physical activity. You will not smell bad, because there
won't be much lipid peroxidation. Again, it's a benefit - there is no
deficiency, and you avoid the "chronic diseases."

I don't use coconut oil on anything but my face, because there's no
problem anywhere else.

Is there is some fat I can eat that won't harm me, and still
contribute to my skin greasiness/moisture?
w-9 (olive, sesame oil ) or else?


I did like the greasines on my skin when I was eating unsaturated fats,
and as far as I am concerned I should be very greasy!
But I don't want the inflammatory/'biochemical instability' of them.
