Everyday we wash our bodies and our face and in doing so we destroy the natural bacteria which live on our skin and protect our skin form bacteria, viruses and fungi. The skins natural ph is about 5 and washing with soap and other detergents destroys this ph leaving the skin vulnerable to infection. Applying coconut oil after washing can actually help the skin balance the acid on your skin far quicker than it can do naturally.
Cracked heels can be helped by rubbing coconut oil into your feet last thing at night and wearing cotton socks. The same can be done for dry hands wearing cotton gloves. For an extra treat add a few drops of your favourite essential oil, such as lavender to promote sleep.
Psoriasis, Eczema and Dry SkinRub a little coconut oil for the skin onto areas of psoriasis, eczema or dry skin. A little goes a long way.
Women can often have dry skin on their arms and legs. The next time you come out of the shower while the skin is still warm, apply coconut oil. Alternatively, apply coconut oil just before you step into a warm bath, and let the coconut oil sink into your skin with the heat of the water. After a few days you will really notice the difference.
