Coconut Oil for Ichthyosis
Ichthyosis is a skin condition, which is usually inherited,
and is describe by accumulation of dead skin cells resulting in thick and dry
scales on the skin. Ichthyosis slows down the natural shedding of the skin
cells. This results in growth of the keratin in the topmost layer of the skin.
Due to the presence of the scales in ichthyosis, it is sometimes called as fish
skin disease or fish scale disease.
As of now, there is no known cure for this condition. Ichthyosis Natural Treatment with coconut oil is done
to manage and control the symptoms.
You can also take half a cup of sugar and mix it with any
cold pressed oil such as olive or coconut oil and mix thoroughly. Smoothly
massage this scrub all over the body. You can also take 100 grams of sea salt
and mix it coconut or olive hair oil. You can also add your favorite fragrance
oil into the combination. Combine it thoroughly and keep it in an airtight
container. Use it on slightly wet skin and scrub it softly in upward strokes.
Wash off with water.
A nice soaking bath will help in softening the skin. After
this, smoothly massage the skin with a rough-textured loofa or sponge to take
away the thick scales.
Always pat your skin gently after a bath, so that different
moisture is left on the skin.
Always use mild soaps with added oils.
Do not use perfumes and antibacterial soaps, as they worsen
a dry skin.
Using a humidifier will help in adding moisture to the air.
After a bath, apply moisturizer cream, such as petroleum
jelly, while the skin is still damp, this will help you seal in the moisture.
