Hi ladies.  I am from UK, where we are "enjoying" a heatwave.  Here is my question:  How do you manage to keep coconut oil solid in this recent burst of heat?   I have containers upstairs and down, but the contents are now liquid.  If I put them in the fridge, they will be too hard to use!  Do I just throw them away and use something else, until the weather goes back to normal.  How are our friends in Australia coping?  Please tell me the secret.  I suppose air conditioning keeps things cool!  For the moment I am using Emu Oil, which is kept in the fridge, but I will not be able to take this with me, when I go out and about.  Thank you for your comments.....

    Coconut oil is fairly stable...so don't throw it out.  You can use the liquid form for cooking and baking.  Also as CuppaT said...put some in the fridge.  It melts easily at body temperature...but just using the oil in liquid form is also okay if you prefer.  Just pour some into a small container...an amount that you will use up in a few days.  And yes, the topical aloe vera gel is great for the itch and for restoring the texture and color of the skin.

    Keep in fridge, then just scrate out a bit with a spoon, putin the palm ofyour hand and it will melt in a second or two.
