Reasons For Purchasing Virgin Coconut Oil For Skin

By Zelma Hurley


There are literally hundreds of expensive moisturizing products being touted as the solution to the dryness and aging dilemma, but as usual, Mother Nature outshines them all. It is now being revealed how one product can help balance the body, both inside and out. Now an inexpensive virgin coconut oil for skin can do all 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.

One certainly does not want to forget the water-based moisturizers that those with acne-prone skin flock to. Unfortunately, once the water evaporates, so does the moisturizing effect. Most of these products are terribly over-hyped on the market, terribly over-priced, all the while containing a whole menagerie of unhealthy ingredients such as fragrances and parabens.

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.

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.

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.
