Re: Advice for flaky skin--coconut oil

HI, I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I WOULD NOT RECOMEND COCONUT OIL TO ANYONE COCONUT OIL IS VERY HIGH IN SATURATED FAT WHICH CAUSES HEART DISEASE, INCREASED BLOOD PRESSURE, STROKE DIABETES, BREAST AND OVARIAN CANCER ETC. I DO KNOW WHAT I AM TELLING YOU BECAUSE I JUST FINISH A NUTRITION COURSE. I AM ALSO AN ESTHITICIAN (SKIN CARE EXPERT) BY PROFFESSION. THE FATS THAT I RECOMMEND ARE FLAXSEED OIL, BORAGE OIL, EVENING PRIMOSE OIL THESE OILS ARE ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS MEANING OUR BODIES CANNOT SIMULATE THEM SO THEY MUST BE OBTAINED FROM OUR DIET.THESE OMEGA-3s AND OMEGA-6s OFFER A RANGE OF HEALTH BENEFITS, THEY HELP TO LOWER STRESS CHEMICALS SUCH AS CORTISOL WHICH ARE ELEVATEDIN THE BLOOD DURING STRESS. THEY ARE FAMOUS FOR THEIR HEART PROTECTIVE EFFECTS,THEY LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE, THEY LOWER THE RISKS OF COLON, BREAST, AND PROSTATE CANCERS. THEY ALSO HALP WITH PMS PROBLEM AND HELP TO MAINTAIN SKINS MOISTURE. USE EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL IF WISH IT INCREASES THE SKINS ABILITY TO MAINTAIN MOISTURE, IT EVENS OUT COLOR, INCREASES RADIANCE WHEN APPLIED TOPICALLY.GO TO THE HOME PAGE TO FATS THAT HEAL WHERE YOU WILL FIND MORE INFO. IF YOU ARE TAKING ANTICOAGULANTS (blood thinners) AKS YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE TAKING CERTAIN OILS AS THEY HELP IMPROVE CIRCULATION. ALSO DO NOT USE SOAPS ON YOUR SKIN AS THEY HAVE A HIGH PH LEVEL WHICH STRIPS THE SKIN ACID MANTLE (protective barrier).INSTED USE GENTLE SKIN CLANSERS.IF YOU LIKE SOAPS USE DOVE AS THE PH IS VERY LOW,AND MOST IMPORTANTLY MOISTURISE, MOISTURISE,MOISTURISE.TRY TO FIND ONE WITH ANTIOXIDANTS(vitamin c,e)THEY HELP PROTECT AGAINST FREE RADICAL SIMONE
