I’ve just spent a lot of time researching Virgin Coconut Oil and I’ve now formed
the opinion that Coconut Oil is an amazing oil that I wish I’d discovered a long
time ago! Virgin Coconut Oil is fantastic for your skin and for treating acne.
You can take it orally or apply it directly to your skin.
For the last couple of days I’ve been using Organic Virgin Coconut Oil instead
of olive oil in my 'oil cleansing method' (OCM) and the results have been great.
I decided to try the different oil because I felt as though the olive oil was clogging
my pores a little, even though my acne has cleared up while I’ve been using it.
I don’t know exactly what a clogged pore looks like but I’ve noticed that my skin is
a little bumpier, and has significantly more blackheads than it used to.
I blame this partially on the fact that olive oil may be too thick for my skin type.
The Coconut Oil is great for acne prone skin because the oil penetrates deep into the
pores making the clogged sebum slippery so the plugs can slide out while you’re
massaging your skin. I think the bumpiness on my face, may in fact be the plugs
making their way out, but perhaps, when using olive oil, it is too thick and they’re having
trouble getting all the way out and are getting stuck!
When using the Coconut Oil, I found it to be a lot thinner and lighter in color
than olive oil. I think this is because it’s summer in Australia and it’s quite hot.
Apparently the oil turns cloudy at around 26°C. When I poured the oil into the palm
of my hand, it was also a lot runnier than what I’m used to with the olive oil.
The coconut oil also has a very sweet smell. The first time I used it, I almost felt like a giant
coconut cookie! I really like the smell though, probably more than the olive oil smell.
I found that after a couple of days of using the Coconut Oil, it started to draw some of the toxins out. I’ve had a pimple
on my chin for a few days that was sitting underneath the surface, it felt sore but you couldn’t see anything.
The Coconut Oil must have drawn the toxins out because a day after using the oil, the pimple came to the surface
and formed a little head, then the next day it was completely gone.
I’ve also developed a few very small pimples on my cheeks that you can hardly see and don’t hurt.
I think again it’s the impurities coming out. This aligns with a lot of the information that I’ve read in forums.
It seems that when you first start using the Coconut Oil, you can experience a small whitehead breakout as
it brings all the toxins out. This breakout should clear up within a few days leaving you with smooth skin.
Why coconut oil
Olive oil is well known for its anti-inflammatory properties but coconut oil is really awesome. That is why it’s so great for skin care and why it’s the recommended oil to use in the OCM.
Coconut Oil contains large amounts of lauric acid which is well know for being very anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral.
These antiseptic essential fatty acids found in the oil help prevent bacterial infections (which is what acne is) when taken orally
or applied directly to the skin.
I have read countless testimonials on the Internet from people who claim that applying Coconut Oil directly to their skin cured
their acne or helped clear their skin.
I don’t think applying any essential oils directly to acne prone skin and leaving it on overnight is a very good idea, but using
Coconut Oil in the OCM is probably a great substitute for olive oil.
Coconut Oil is also a well known cooling oil, which is great for hot, inflamed skin (which is what a lot of acne prone skin is).
Your skin may not feel hot, but in Chinese and Indian medicine, acne prone skin has the property of too much ‘heat’ or ‘warmth’. So using an oil that cools our skin down is a good thing.
Coconut Oil also mimics your skins natural oils and should not clog your pores.
Oh!! Using Coconut Oil on your skin whilst sunbathing, accelerates tanning and stops any nasty insects from biting.
I guess that’s just a little added bonus.
