IMPROVING HEART HEALTH
Coconut oil was formerly believed to cause high cholesterol and heart disease due to its saturated fat content. Scientists now believe coconut oil may improve heart health by raising “good” HDL cholesterol.
COMBATTING STRETCH MARKS
A natural, affordable stretch mark treatment? Yes, please. Certain massage therapists and pregnant women say that rubbing coconut oil into the skin may prevent stretch marks.
GUARDING AGAINST DIAPER RASH
Diaper rashes on newborns may also be relieved with coconut oil. Its antimicrobial and antifungal qualities soothe skin irritation and aid in the fight against infections.
FIGHTING DRY CUTICLES
Use coconut oil on your nail beds to prevent cuticles from flaking and becoming dry. Your hands may feel as soft as a baby's after this mild massage.
CONDITIONING DAMAGED HAIR
While the idea of a conditioner that does not include any chemicals for damaged hair may seem like a pipe dream, coconut oil is the real deal.
SOOTHING CHAPPED LIPS
Remember to participate in the softening process with your lips. Not only does coconut oil taste amazing, but it may also give a hint of gloss and soothe parched lips.
BATTLING ACNE BREAKOUTS
Anti-inflammatory fatty acids in coconut oil may reduce redness and outbreaks in acne-prone regions. However, coconut oil may block pores in delicate skin.
