Use Coconut oil as your Face Moisturizer-
It's the Best and Here is why!!
I have to admit I have been a sucker for using very overpriced commercial products and have, on many occasions been mocked and criticized for being a product junky.
Is it really necessary to spend hundreds of dollars on skin product?
I have been told for many years the benefits of using pure coconut oil in place of skin cream. I started to try it a long time ago, and it works!!
When I find myself in a conversation about skin care products, I always offer up " use coconut oil, it's the best" but realize that I really don't have a convincing argument to back myself up. So I decided to do some research and here is what I found
It turns out that Pure Virgin Coconut oil is the best ingredient for skin lotion available and here is why:
it is made from an oil that not only softens the skin, but protects it against damage, promotes healing and gives it a more youthful, healthy appearance. It prevents destructive free-radical formation and provides protection against them. It can help to keep the skin from developing liver spots, and other blemishes caused by aging and over exposure to sunlight. It helps to keep connective tissues strong and supple so that the skin doesn't sag and wrinkle. In some cases it might even restore damaged or diseased skin. Unlike commercial products, which are made up mostly of water, the oil is absorbed into the skin and into the cell structure of the connective tissues, limiting the damage excessive sun exposure can cause.
Coconut oil will not only bring temporary relief to the skin, but it will aid in healing and repairing. It will have lasting benefits, unlike most lotions. It can help bring back a youthful appearance. The coconut oil will aid in removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, making the skin smoother. The skin will become more evenly textured with a healthy "shine". While doing this the coconut oil will penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and strengthen the underlying tissues.
