Reasons For Purchasing 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.

Yes, this is a health as well as beauty product considering that it has been consumed as a food for centuries. We now know that it can boost the metabolism as well as balance the blood sugar, and it prevents cancer by keeping the body in a healthy alkaline state. Nutritionists caution against overuse as a food, but common sense tells us not to over-indulge in anything, even when it seems like a healthy alternative.

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.

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.
