Coconut oil for your skin?

rupunzel

I've heard that coconut oil is really good for you skin, that you could rub it on or ingest it, and that it helps clear up acne. is any of this true?? if so, how can I use it???

Answer
The small molecular structure of coconut oil allows for easy absorption through the skin,giving it a soft,smooth texture.its makes an ideal ointment for the relief of dry, rough and wrinkled skin.
Most commonly available creams and lotions are mostly water. Their moisture is quickly absorbed into dry, wrinkled skin. As the water enters the skin, it expands the tissues, like filling a balloon with water, so that wrinkles fade away and the skin feels smoother. But this is only temporary. As soon as the water evaporates or is carried away by the blood stream, the dry, wrinkled skin returns. No matter how hard you try people will never be able to permanently cure dry, wrinkled skin with any commercial body lotion or body care products. Besides the water, most lotions have an oil of some type. This oil is almost always a highly refined vegetable oil devoid of all natural protective antioxidants. One product in our food supply and in body care products that leads to a great deal of free radicals is oxidized vegetable oils.

Coconut oil?

What are some benefits of coconut oil? And how is it to be used?

Answer
Coconut oil can be used in salads, and other foods. It can also be used on the skin and hair. It may also help your pie crusts taste and stay together better. Some say that its makeup helps keep you healthy, but those claims are quite difficult to assess.

It is often mentioned to help with various maladies such as diabetes and thyroid deficiency. It does not have any special properties with these problems. It will not increase your metabolism, though it could help you get fat if you eat too much of it.

There have been several medical studies of coconut oil, but these have mostly shown that there is no great benefit. Even the ones paid for by the coconut oil marketers didn't show benefit or were severely compromised.

Incidentally, this stuff should run for about $3 per gallon, and not more than $5/gallon. Many marketers will put it into smaller bottles and sell it for a lot more than that. They will also talk about "extra vigin" or whatever to try to increase the value. Coconut oil does degrade over time (it gets rancid if it is exposed to air for a while), so they will also explain that you must get only the freshest of it.
