I have been using MeritVCO virgin coconut oil extracted from coconut milk.
MeritVCO virgin coconut oil Here are some basic facts about this wonderful natural moisturizer and what it can do for your skin and scalp. Due to its particular molecular structure, this oil is easily absorbed by the skin, leaving it smooth, silky and with a radiant glow that’s perfect for summer.
For those of you suffering from dry, rough and wrinkled skin, MeritVCO virgin coconut oil is a very good solution, as it can be used on everything from your heels to your scalp, providing lasting moisture and evening out the texture of the skin.
Most of the traditional face and body creams are predominantly water, which allows moisture to be quickly absorbed into the skin (especially if we’re talking dry skin) – however, the feeling of smoothness doesn’t last too long, as water is either absorbed into the bloodstream or evaporates. The creams and lotions that we use on a daily basis also contain some type of highly refined vegetable oil devoid of all natural protective antioxidants our skin needs to fight free radicals. Virgin coconut oil, however, is the exact opposite: in fact, there are scientists who claim that coconut oil is the best natural ingredient for skin lotions available on the market.
First of all, coconut oil prevents the formation of destructive free radicals. Massage it into your skin and you won’t have to worry about liver spots and many other types of blemishes caused by old age or exposure to sunlight. It will even out your skin, give it a more healthy-looking texture and a subtle glow that is bound to reflect on your overall state of mind. Massage it into your skin at night after cleaning your face thoroughly and doing a body scrub – while you’re in the shower, you can also use it either as a pre-wash hair conditioner to fight off dandruff, or as a normal conditioner, massaging it into your scalp after using your regular shampoo. Give coconut oil a chance to heal your skin, and you’re bound to see results very quickly.
