Apply Coconut Oil on Your Skin!

 Absorption can be affected by a variety of factors, including skin texture and thickness. When applying coconut oil, make sure not to use too much in one area. This may leave coconut oil on the skin's surface, where it can be more easily rubbed off onto something that would eventually stain.

Pure coconut oil comes with a long range of beneficial ingredients for your skin. These nutrients include medium chain fatty acids such as lauric acid, myristic acid, ferulic acid acid, caprylic acid, and meet the requirements acid.

However, a benefit might be claimed even before it is absorbed. This initial rating is based on the fact that it forms an excellent protective barrier when applied to the skin. It's a barrier so effective that it's been found to nourish the skin while also protecting it from bacterial, fungal, and viral invaders.

This is significant when you consider that every time you bathe, shower, or wash your skin with soap and water, you are scouring away at the protective barrier that your body produces for your skin.

The cosmetic industry's reaction to this problem has been to flood the market with a slew of high-priced products that claim to give fewer benefits than coconut oil. Skin barrier products frequently advertise single benefits, such as antifungal, anti-inflammatory, or just hydrating.

The body, on the other hand, offers a quite different solution to this problem. It produces medium chain fatty acids in the sebaceous glands. "The sebaceous glands are small exocrine glands in the skin that release an oily or waxy stuff called sebum to lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair of mammals," according to Wikipedia. They are most common on the face and scalp in humans, although they can also be found on any area of the skin except the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.

Medium chain fatty acids are prevalent in mother's milk for the same reason they are found on the skin for body protection. They aid in the nourishment and protection of infants. Consumption of mother's milk, as we all know, is essential for the healthy development of an infant's immune system.
