Topical application of Coconut Oil drying skin out?

I have extremely dry and sensitive skin. I have recently started trying multiple daily applications of organic, virgin, cold pressed coconut oil to try to combat the dryness in a natural way. If applied to my face the coconut oil burns, when applied to my hands it makes them feel hydrated for a little bit but then leaves my skin so dried out. I think my skin is drier than it ever has been. How is this possible????

Rather than Coconut Oil I would suggest you try Jojoba Oil as it is almost identical organically-speaking to sebum, which is the natural oil produced by your skin. As well as being a great natural moisturizer it can also help with acne, Jojoba Oil penetrates into the skin without clogging pores and is suitable for all skin types it contains vitamin E and antioxidants which are great for fighting aging signs and moisturizing the skin.

Hope this helps!
