Your skin loses its elasticity as you age. If you're 40 years old or so, you may have noticed a significant change in your skin condition. Wrinkles are more obvious and regularly exposed skin are kind of leathery.
Free-Radical Damage
This is the result of free-radical destruction in your body. You can't stop free radicals from doing their destructive routines because it's a normal part of being alive. Free radicals are a lot more pervasive in older people.
Your body needs antioxidants to combat excessive free-radical formation. Without proper supply of antioxidants, your cells won't be able to protect themselves from these rogue molecules. Popular antioxidant nutrients are Vitamins A, C and E.
Is Your Skin Younger or Older?
Below is a skin elasticity test you can use to approximately determine the functional age of your skin. Find out if your skin is functionally older or younger than your biological age.
Pinch the skin on the back of your hand with the thumb and forefinger and hold it for 5 seconds. Let go and time how long it takes for the skin to completely flatten back out. The longer the time, the older the functional age of your skin.
| TIME (SECONDS) | FUNCTIONAL AGE (YEARS) | |
|---|---|---|
| 1-2 | under 30 | |
| 3-4 | 30-44 | |
| 5-9 | 45-50 | |
| 10-15 | 60 | |
| 35-55 | 70 | |
| 56 or more | over 70 |
I hope that your skin's functional age turned out to be younger. If not, try replacing your present crop of lotions and creams with CNO, the healthiest oil on earth.
Skin Nourishment
Coconut oil contains predominantly medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) or medium-chain triglycerides (MCT). MCFAs provide your skin with antimicrobial agents that ward off infection. Your skin's connective tissues are made and/or kept strong for that much desired softness and elasticity.
MCFAs also has superb antioxidant activities that neutralize free radicals and slow down aging. Coconut oil is nature's richest source of MCFAs. What more can you ask for?
Topical is Best
The best way to use coconut oil for the skin is by applying it directly. Topical application on affected skin areas are proven to be more effective and can restore skin elasticity much quicker.
Using CNO in your cooking or by the spoonful will certainly make it even more rewarding not just for your skin. A regular dietary intake of this remarkable oil can help you prevent heart disease, osteoporosis, cancer, liver disease and many more illnesses. A coconut oil diet can change your life forever.
Coconut oil can restore skin elasticity safely and naturally. Which would you prefer? Creams and lotions with hidden harmful chemicals or natural coconut oil that goes far beyond superficial benefits. Restoring skin elasticity is safe, inexpensive and more effective with pure coconut oil, the best oil on earth.
