Dry Skin vs. Coconut Oil: Who Wins?

Coconut oil, of course!

There are a number of health benefits for coconut oil. It helps with burning fat, reducing hunger, improving oral health, and is a quick source of energy. Applying it on skin and hair directly yields great results as well 💪

How exactly does it affect our skin?

Coconut Oil for Dry Skin

Coconut oil can work as a moisturizer 🧴, but it is important to use it correctly. It does work to seal in the moisture, but should not replace your daily moisturiser. It is a misconception to think that it moisturises your skin by itself.

Coconut oil can be a sealant, which means it will help you in trapping the water on your skin. You need to apply the oil when your skin is already damp 💧

Reduces itchiness

Coconut Oil in a Product

By now it is clear that applying coconut water on dry skin may not result in moisturised skin. Comparatively, how effective would it be if it were to be used in a product? Extremely! 🌟

Coconut oil is an ingredient that is present in a lot of hydrating soaps and body washes, as glycerin and coconut oil combination is great for reducing dry skin. It nourishes your skin without leaving it oily, as it would if you were to apply it directly on your skin.

How effective the product is will depend on individual skin types. Usually, the results can be seen after a week of consistent use of the product. There are also instances where such products have been shown to reduce the symptoms of various skin conditions 🩹
