Coconut oil is a natural anti-oxidant and a conventional source of skin and hair maintenance. Its use has become obsolete in the recent years due to the increasing popularity of commercially available moisturizers. Coconut oil is much better than other face moisturizers because the latter contains excessive water which makes your skin moisturized temporarily and when excess water is evaporated, it leaves your skin dry. Besides this, moisturizers also contain petroleum-based ingredients that can have harmful effects.
Here are some of the advantages of applying coconut oil on skin:
Coconut oil as a Moisturizing lotion
It is an effective moisturizer for all skin types, including dry skin. It strengthens the underlying tissues of your skin by removing excess dead cells on your skin’s surface. Coconut oil can be used as a skin lotion and daily scrub.
