Reasons To Use Virgin Coconut Oil For Skin

By Zelma Hurley


There must be a million products which claim to moisturize hair, face, and body; but none can live up to what nature Herself has accomplished through the ages of man. There is a product which balances every part of the body, from the digestive tract to the soft, supple, shine of hair. Extra virgin coconut oil for skin does this and more.

This is different from other oils that many men and women have tried because it is all-natural, and not a petroleum based product. It may feel a bit oily or greasy at first, but one will be surprised at how quickly it absorbs into the body through the epidermis. Unlike petroleum based products which create a sheen that chokes the pores, this will soak in so fully that it does not cause breakouts like other oil-based moisturizers.

The average lotion most people use is a water-based product. It does absorb somewhat, and it can make one feel moisturized for a time. However, as the water evaporates, so do the undoubtedly over-hyped and over-priced moisturizing benefits of the product being used.

It is the women of Asia who have brought this particular product to the world market, rather by accident really. Asian cultures tend to be isolationist in nature, and so many centuries went by without the world knowing the benefits of these oils. However, as Western women, both from Europe and the United States, have spent more time visiting the countries of Asia, these little health and beauty secrets have gotten out.

Many believers in this product will utilize it as a food source as well as a moisturizer. There is evidence that it can raise metabolism, aide in maintaining healthy blood sugars, and help keep the body in an alkaline balance. Health experts caution against using the product too often or in too large an amount as a food source, but it is always important to be balanced in all things, even when the benefits might make it seem like more would be better.

It is extremely important that one find the raw, unprocessed version of this product. If it has been bleached, hydrogenated, or infused with an extra perfume then the product will not perform as anticipated. Finding a version which is organic and does not include genetically modified organisms is even better.

The fact is that hydrogenation, bleaching, and adding fragrances to a product which is intended to be utilized as a food source actually damages the liver. Because this is not necessarily sold as a food item, it might not be marked that these additives are totally foreign to the body, and tend to build up in the liver rather than being properly metabolized. When consumed, it is often added in small quantities to stir-fry dishes as well as salads or teas.

This is a product where a small amount does go a long way, and this means it can be a real money saver. An amount smaller than a teaspoon is all one will need to moisturize the entire body, as well as a medium-to-long mane of hair. The extra virgin, organic product can replace most, if not all, moisturizers and conditioners currently being used.
