What are the benefits of coconut oil, you ask?
Can you use coconut oil for face acne? Coconut oil for face wrinkles? Yes, yes and so much more.
Using coconut oil for skin has a multitude of benefits. “I use coconut oil for hair and on my skin for deep conditioning,” Tasneen Bhatia, MD, an integrative doctor and owner of the Atlanta Center for Holistic and Integrative Medicine, told Prevention.
But did you know that coconut oil on its own is all you need to reap its benefits? Literally, you can just go to Whole Foods and buy a jar on your way home from work. And after you read all about the power of coconut oil, we bet you’ll do just that.
Since the benefits of coconut oil literally go on and on and on, Entity has chosen a few of the best.
According to Dr. David Bank, a New York Dermatologist, “Coconut oil has positive antioxidants such as vitamin E and pro vitamin A that help slow down the aging process.” So yay for that benefit.
