Just wondering if anyone is still using emu oil on their face and if they are still loving it. I can't remember all of those discussing this, but I believe Skeeter was one.

Any reviews welcome!

I just ordered emu oil and I'm waiting to get it :) I think I'm going to use it to my skin (face) and scalp. I hope it works. I'm from Finland and I think we have only one place that grows emus (at least I haven't find more).

Do you really think it works the way they advertise it, anti-aging etc..?

I don't think it works as well as they advertise it, but it definitely does have somethin' special to it. I made a new face cream with it and have found my new obsession. LOL

Anyway, just piping up to say, "I love it!!!" ;) LOL

Oh nothing works as well as "they" say :no - but I'll take the fraction that we do get.

I love Emu oil - especially how it sinks right in and makes everything else do the same...:DD...g

Yep! I use it around my eyes every day and it works great! I've been using it for about 2 or more months now.

Can you get emu oil at your local health food store, or do you have to order it online??

Thanks everyone for your replies. I know there was a huge discussion about this on the old LHL boards at one time. Several had ordered and were using it so I was wondering if they are still liking the results.

Geesh, I was just at my local health food store and didn't even think to look for emu oil. It's really small with not much of a selection so I'll probably have to wait till I'm in another part of town to visit a larger store. :rolleyes:

I got some Emu around the time Skeeter
got some. I have since stopped using
it....for some unknown reason, it smells
like raw chicken to me!!! I KNOW< WEIRD!!!!

I liked it when I used it but I had to keep it
away from my nose! Hahhaahah! I guess
I'm hypersensitive to smells!

Yes, Elle, we were using it there
and also on the ends of the hair
for moisturizing. :)

Please tell me, the emu oil comes from the emu bird correct? I've always thought so, but thinking about putting bird oil/fat on my face, just grosses me out. I keep thinking of chicken grease. Is it true that it comes from the emu bird?

Hate to tell you yes, it does. But the Emu's, I am almost positive, are raised for food and this is one of the byproducts from it. If I remember right, it is the fat from their back right under the skin.

Sorry if this grossed anyone out. :(

No problem, Amazon.

Naw, actually... I keep meaning to order this stuff. Everytime I order from somewhere that carries Emu oil, I forget! :?

Has anyone noticed that it sped up their growth? What kinda results do you actually see on your hair? Shinier? Stronger? I was going to use it on my skin too, though. Does a little go a long way? It is SO expensive..!
