What is Effective Skin Care

The skin betrays the age of most individuals. One classic sign for age is the appearance of brown, freckle-like spots (liver spots). Liver spots are a sign of free-radical deterioration of the lipids (fats) in our skin. In fact, the oxidation of polyunsaturated fats and protein by free radical activity is recognized to be the major cause of liver spots.

Liver spots do not usually hurt or give discomfort however they do affect the health and they affect the appearance of those that have them. Since cells are unable to dispose of lipofucin pigment (liver spots), it accumulates with time within the cells of the body. Liver spots, once they appear, do not go away. Your only choice is to prevent more from developing by using the right kind of oil in your diet and on your skin.

The ideal lotion softens the skin and at the same time protects it against damage. The reason for using lotions after all is to restore or to give your skin a healthy appearance. Coconut oil is one such ingredient that fits that description.

Pure virgin coconut oil is the best natural ingredient for body lotions. Virgin coconut oil prevents the destructive formation of free-radicals and can help prevent the development of liver spots and sun-related blemishes. In fact, virgin coconut contributes to healthy skin in so many ways: it keeps connective tissue in the skin strong and supple, thus preventing sagging and wrinkle formation, it can restore damaged and even diseased skin and it can simply be used as a daily lotion that is a healthy alternative to other less, effective lotions on the average supermarket shelves.
