Just a quick reminder to everyone interested in beauty and/or skin health.   Silicones, most commonly labelled as dimethicone but also anything ending in “cone”, are used in lotions, shampoo, conditioner, cosmetics, and other beauty products. These give immediate benefits such as smoother skin and hair, but the long term use is very detrimental.   Silicones are an artificial coating that create a barrier, a shield similar to a rubber mask, on your skin and hair. This provides immediate smoothing, but does not allow for the penetration of any natural remedies such as coconut oil. Silicones also do not wash out, they wear out in time though, or by the use of vinegar.   So if your products such as shampoo and body wash contain silicones, then any coconut oil or anything will not be able to penetrate into your skin, for long-term results.   Ever wonder why many women spend so much money and effort into obtaining beautiful hair and skin, but their hair is dry and damaged and skin looks old and dull (dimethicone prevents the natural shedding of skin), and then men who hardly use anything have significantly better skin? This is the reason. Most men use common soap that does not contain silicones.   So, get yourselves some dimethicone-free shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and so on. Get in the shower and gently scrub yourself with vinegar (preferably apple cider vinegar) diluted one part vinegar to one part water (or one part white vinegar to 10 parts water). You can rinse this in your hair as well, and it also helps to safely remove pollution buildup and restores the natural PH balance of your hair and skin.   And then you can enjoy the short-term and long-term benefits of natural products, such as coconut oil.     Resources:   http://www.drfranklipman.com/the-truth- ... methicone/   http://www.annmariegianni.com/ingredien ... ates-acne/   (among many other sources online)
