Virgin Coconut Oil Benefits:

• The ideal cream is one that 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.  Coconut oil fits that description. 
• 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
• 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.
• When bathing or showering, soap washes the protective layer of oil and acid off our skin.  Often afterwards the skin becomes tight and dry.  Adding moisturizers helps the skin feel better, but it does not replace the acid or the protective medium chain fatty acid layers that was removed.  By using a coconut oil cream, lotion or just pure coconut oil you can quickly help reestablish the skin's natural antimicrobial and acid barrier.  Many people use coconut oil on their skin after every bath.
