Benefits of Coconut Oil On the Skin
I'm always preaching against using coconut oil on your face because of it's super comedogenic properties, and the issue of heavy oil use disturbing the skin's natural moisture barrier (you can read my previous blog post here: "Can Face Oil Replace Moisturizer" if you want to learn more about that).
But that doesn't mean that I hate all things coconut oil, or find that all of it's uses are bad for the skin. Coconut oil has many benefits to the skin, but they may just not be in the way you'd think or often read about.

To better explain why, let's look further in depth into the makeup of coconut oil.
