The coconut tree provides so many things form the roots, to the trunk, flowers, fruits, leaves and the nuts.
Coconut oil for skin is a mighty first line of defense against a wide range of diseases. Its efficacy is so potent that bacteria and its illness-causing cousins like viruses and fungi do not stand a chance of survival.
It makes a lot of sense to fortify your skin with something naturally powerful against bacteria and viruses!
Coconut oil is nature’s most abundant source of Medium Chain Fatty Acids! These fat molecules are loaded with antimicrobial nutrients. Think of MCFTs as nature’s potent skin protector.
Healthful skin has an acidic layer with a pH of about 5. This creates a supreme chemical environment that is cruel to harmful microorganisms. Perspiration together with sebum (bodily oil secreted by sebaceous glands), promote this acidic environment. Together, they make sure that your skin is adequately protected.
Without sebum, your skin will eventually dry and crack. Guess what… Your Sebum also contains MCFTs. Amazing! Is it starting to become clear now why coconut oil skin rewards are so profound? No wonder Paradise Potion’s Lomi Lomi Massage Oil http://www.paradisepotions.com/lomilomi.html has gained unprecedented popularity among massage therapists. You will also find coconut oil in our other best selling products such as Sweet Body Smoothie, Satin Sheets Hand and Body Cream, and
Hawaiian Sugar Shave.
Don’t forget that the skin is the largest single organ in your body. Fabulous Coconut Oil……nature’s richest source of good-for-your-skin…… Medium Chain Fatty Acids!

AMAZING GREEN TEA
A variety of encouraging studies reveal that the topical application of green tea extract provides broad-spectrum protection against skin aging. These published studies indicate that people can derive super anti-aging benefits from green tea extract applied topically on a consistent basis. Animal and human studies have credibly demonstrated that topical green tea formulations reduce sun damage and skin cancer. Aging is characterized by thinning skin and destruction of skin cells. These studies showed that topical application of green tea extract improved these two molecular parameters of skin aging.
A published study by Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a prestigious journal, clearly demonstrated that topical applications of green tea extract can inhibit the development of skin cancer after long-term exposure to UVB light. Green tea appears to exert sun damage protection with powerful anti-oxidants that quench free radicals and reduce inflammation rather than by blocking UV rays. Therefore, green tea may synergistically enhance sun protection when used in addition to a sunscreen.

Green tea extract possesses an array of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties. Studies of human skin have demonstrated that green tea prevents ultraviolet-induced damage that leads to immune suppression and skin cancer induction. Treating human skin with green tea extract prevents penetration of UVB radiation. Scientists have published research indicating that green tea prevents the DNA skin damage, inflammation, and immune suppression that result from UVB exposure.
