swati123 Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 MeritVCO virgin coconut oil from excelcombine 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. What Can You Use As a Skin Moisturizer? The safest moisturizer that I recommend is pure MeritVCO virgin coocnut oil from excelcombine. It is inexpensive and all natural - the important point that needs to be understood is that anything applied to the skin is absorbed by the body and processed through the organs. Enriched with extra virgin coconut oil to leave the skin soft and moisturised. Naturally The ideal lotion is one that not only softens the skin, but protects it against damage, promotes healing and gives it a more youthful, healthy appearance. Pure virgin coconut oil is the best natural ingredient for skin lotion available. 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 can even restore damaged or diseased skin. The oil is absorbed into the skin and into the cell structure of the connective tissues, limiting the damage excessive sun exposure can cause. Virgin 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. Think twice before you apply any topical lotions or moisturizers to your skin as the substance will be absorbed by your body! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copra is basically the dried kernel (meat) of the coconut. It can be made by: smoke drying, sun drying, or kiln drying , or derivatives or a combination of these three. If standard copra is used as a starting material, the unrefined coconut oil extracted from copra is not suitable for consumption and must be purified, that is refined. Virgin coconut oil is extracted using Wet-milling. With this method the oil is extracted from fresh coconut meat without drying first. "Coconut milk" is expressed first by pressing.
