There are many other organic skincare ingredients, in addition to our earlier post on shea butter, ginseng and sage. Today I'll talk about two organic oils, namely coconut oil and sweet almond oil.

Coconut Oil

Pure virgin coconut oil is a great natural ingredient for skin lotions. It provides protection against destructive free radicals. Liver spots and blemishes, due to age can be prevented. Coconut oil can also penetrate deep into the skin, and acts as a barrier against overexposure to the sun. It tightens and strengthens the skin to reduce sagging and wrinkles. Furthermore, the beneficial effects of coconut oil are not short-lived, and it can bring back a youthful appearance. It assists in shedding away the dull outer skin layers, enabling a smoother, more radiant complexion.

Coconut oil can also be used as an excellent hair conditioner, and it is used widely in many organic spas. Hair becomes softer and more manageable, and dandruff problems can even be cured.

Sweet Almond Oil

Sweet almond oil makes a great moisturizer and it conditions the skin. It's good as a massage oil since it lubricates well but doesn't penetrate. It's a reliable protectant, and is often used to protect the skin around babies' diapers. It reduces swelling from dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis. Itches, dryness, soreness and burns can also be relieved.
