Tyra Banks’ beauty website, typeF.com, has lots of great suggestions for using coconut oil, everything from “Virgin Coconut Oil for Scars” http://www.typef.com/article/virgin-coconut-oil-scars/  to “Olive Oil vs Coconut Oil as a Face Lotion” http://www.typef.com/article/olive-oil-vs-coconut-oil-face-lotion/

Valentina Zelyaeva (better known as the face of Ralph Lauren) includes coconut oil in her Simple Beauty Regime blog: http://organiceyourlife.com/my-simple-beauty-regime

Gwyneth Paltrow, Oscar-winning actress and the face of Estee Lauder, says in her Goop.com newsletter, “I love Epsom salt baths to detox, revive muscles and de-puff skin. While in the bath, I use an exfoliating mitt which stimulates skin and leaves it soft and bump-free. After the bath, I slather my skin with extra-virgin organic ­coconut oil.” From  http://goop.com/newsletter/33/

Bethany Hamilton, professional surfer (and inspiration behind the movie “Soul Surfer,”) and Rip Curl spokesmodel, blogs about using coconut oil to tame her salty ocean hair:
