Coconut Therapy for Your Skin

Oct. 22, 2010 - PRLog -- People have used coconut in the tropics for many, many years. They drink it, cook with it and even make oil with it. Among the various uses of coconut there is yet another use for and it's for your skin.

Coconut is therapeutic and beneficial for the skin. It can make your skin supple and soft. Our skin is comprised of connective tissue, which is what makes the skin  look and feel soft and supple. As we grow old, this soft connective tissue loses its elasticity and becomes hard, rough and dry. To soothe the skin, water based products can only be used temporarily. However, using coconut oil for dry skin problems has been one of the oldest home remedies. Coconut oil for skin acts as an antioxidant and eliminates free radicals.

By fighting the free radical attacks on the skin, coconut oil can give you smooth and supple skin, free of wrinkles and blemishes. Hence, coconut oil as a skin moisturizer is very popular and widely accepted. It  helps the skin to get rid of dead cells and gives you a smooth and glossy look. This oil can protect you from the blemishes caused as a result of aging and sunlight exposure.  Besides enhancing the appearance of the skin, coconut oil is also useful in curing acne, wounds, rashes, burns and skin inflammation. It is also said that it can improve the complexion, apart from protecting the skin from getting dry and flaky. Coconut is one of the best natural moisturizers and it has been used to fight eczema, psoriasis and many other skin conditions. When using skin products try some with coconut for a try.
