    Are oil molecules too large to penetrate skin
    Hi!
    I was always under the impression that its really good to moisturise your body with oil, olive, almond coconut whatever, because oil can be assimilated into the skin. Whereas moisturisers for example do not get assimilated as our skin is waterproof (otherwise we would baloon up every time we are in a bath or in the rain).
    However today I heard that oil molecules are too large to penetrate into the skin (kind of like the tennis ball which cannot go through the net holes), and that it needs to be 'spun' in order to break it down into smaller molecules..
    The first theory I was taught by my teacher who is a microbiologist, and the second theory I was told by a skin care company trying to get me to sell the 'spun' oil to my clints.
    Does anyone know any more about it??
