Benefits Of Virgin Coconut Oil For Skin

By Zelma Hurley


The all the overpriced moisturizers in the world, it is, as always, a pleasant irony when nature does what modern science cannot. The one new product which can moisturize the body, soften the hair, and balance the diet is an all natural, essential product that may be able to balance a budget as well. This extra virgin coconut oil for skin promises to be all these things.

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.

Water-based lotions, moisturizers, and conditioners only provide a benefit until the water in the product evaporates. Once evaporation takes place, there is no more moisturizing going on. Everyone knows how over-hyped some of these expensive products are.

The women of Asia have long kept this product a secret simply by the very nature of their closed societies, without intending to keep this for themselves for so long. In recent decades more and more people from Western Europe and the United States make travels to the Asian countries. As this has occurred, more Westerners have become familiar with this one product being used for everything from hand-cream to hair conditioner.

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.

When consumed, one should seek out the raw and unprocessed product. Hydrogenation, the adding or removing of a hydrogen molecule, bleaching, and adding fragrances all alter the product molecularly, and thus alter the effects it can have for the body. Seeking out an organic version will also help guarantee that it has been created without the so-called assistance of genetically modified organisms.

The purchasing of only the raw and unprocessed version is especially important when using this as a food additive. When this product is bleached or a fragrance is added, it can actually do damage to the liver. These bleaching agents and fragrances added are chemicals that are foreign to the human body, and may not digest if they do not constitute being a true food product that is metabolized.

A small amount of this stuff goes a long way, whether it is being consumed as food or used as a moisturizing agent. It has been said that a dime-sized amount will moisturize the body from head-to-toe, and that might even include a decent head of hair. Many women have been able to replace all moisturizers and hair-care products with this one, all-natural ingredient.
