Reasons For Purchasing 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.

Many might assert that they have tried moisturizers with an oily base, and it only breaks them out. However, this particular product is all natural and absorbs very well through the pores. Petroleum-based moisturizers tend to leave an oily residue which actually clogs pores and causes breakouts, but this product does not have that unwanted side-effect.

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.

Asian women have known for centuries about the benefits of such oils. The secret has been long held, as this part of the world tends to stay fairly sequestered from Western society. In recent years more and more Western Europeans and Americans have been travelling abroad, and have discovered the benefits of oils which imbue the hair with moisture, and soak into the body, fully moisturizing from head to toe.

These Asian women utilize this as a food source as well, having made many stir-fry dishes in this way over many centuries. Western medical doctors will warn against using it as a base food or ingesting it in large amounts, but the fact is, nothing should ever be ingested on its own in large amounts. An acceptable use in stir-fry, on salads, and added to tea can help balance blood sugars, increase metabolism, and maintain the body in a healthy alkaline pH balance.

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.

Should one purchase a version which has been processed, it can cause stress to the liver when ingested. This is especially true if the product has been bleached or treated with fragrances which may be foreign to the body. For best results it is recommended as a small addition to salads and stir-fry, lending flavor rather than making it the base of a diet.

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.
