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.

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.

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.
