It is also a natural source of glycolic acid that penetrates skin to break down the bond between dead skin cells, encouraging cell regeneration for fresher, younger looking skin. This is why sugar makes such a great exfoliant, to remove dead skin cells and reveal the glowing, healthy skin cells underneath. Also, great for the winter as exfoliating the top layer of skin helps moisturizers penetrate more deeply and hydrate longer. Coconut Oil- Coconut oil helps to improve skin hydration, reduce dryness, and protect the skin from UV radiation. Keeping your skin hydrated is imperative to help preserve it’s barrier function to keep out bacteria, promote scar healing, and maintain overall skin integrity. The lauric acid content in coconut oil has antimicrobial properties that can aid in protecting against harmful microorganisms and the growth of bacteria that causes many types of skin infections such as acne, cellulitis, folliculitis, and athlete’s foot. Coconut oil may also help relieve inflammation by improving antioxidant status, which works by stabilizing free radicals in the body and neutralizing the reactive atoms that contribute to inflammation. Studies have shown coconut oil to increase levels of collagen, an important protein that aids in wound healing while at the same time, prevent infection that could complicate the healing process. Coconut oil is essential to keep your skin healthy, moisturized, and blemish free! Peppermint Essential Oil- Has antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties.
