coconut oil

Coconut oil can help restore moisture to the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles when used regularly. Aside from the benefits of the nutrients contained in the oil which nourish and heal the skin, coconut oil is cheap and doesn't contain questionable chemicals and ingredients. It's easy to feel good about put it on your skin knowing that it doesn't contain  preservatives nor other man-made chemicals.

Here are a few basic tips for using coconut oil as a moisturizer.

First, don't overdue how much oil you apply to the skin. This is a huge mistake that many women trying out coconut oil on the skin. If you apply too much oil, it won't absorb into the skin and you will end up being an oily mess and getting the oil on your clothes and any other items you touch. The secret is to apply a small layer to the skin. Then to apply more later only as necessary. Over time you'll likely find that you won't need to keep reapply the oil or won't have the urge to reapply as often because you'll see it working to moisturize your skin when only applying small amounts.

Some women question whether or not the oil is good to use on the face. This really depends on your personal skin type, the environment you live in, what types of makeup you use, and so on. Some women claim that it causes their skin to breakout, while others swear by it's ability to clear breakouts and reverse the signs of aging. I personally use it on my face in addition to other natural moisturizers such as aloe vera and find that it works great. The trick to using it as a facial moisturizer is the same as using it as a body moisturizer, use only a little bit to ensure the oil is absorbed into the skin.
