10 Coconut Oil Uses
Coconut Oil Use #3: Good for the Skin
As well as being useful when eaten, coconut oil also has a number of uses when used externally. When applied to the skin, it acts as a moisturiser which is partially useful for people with dry skin, while it is also thought to be effective in helping to control eczema.
In addition, applying coconut oil can help to block up to 20% of ultraviolet rays from the sun, making it an effective sunblock. As well as the benefits it provides, coconut oil simply smells fantastic so applying it to the skin is so much more desirable. It can be very useful if you are planning on spending the day on the beach.
