Benefits of Coconut Oil# Coconut oil is a very effective moisturizing carrier oil. It is easily soaked into the skin. It contains a high amount of saturated fat which moisturizes your skin. Saturated fat also prevents the moisture loss from your skin. Hence your skin becomes soft and smooth.
# It has antibacterial and antifungal properties. They kill harmful bacteria and fungi living on your skin. Therefore gives you healthy skin.
# Coconut oil contains vitamin E which is a powerful antioxidant. Vitamin E neutralizes free radicals. Free radicals damage your skin cells. This leads to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Hence, coconut oil helps to remove wrinkles as well. It also boosts collagen and promotes healthy regeneration of skin cells. This improves the elasticity and firmness of your skin. Ultimately fades fine lines and wrinkles.
# Argan oil has the perfect balance of oleic acid and linoleic acid. Oleic acid and linoleic acid together soothe your dry skin. Oleic acid easily penetrates your skin to replenish the lost moisture. It also locks the moisture into your skin. It has powerful antioxidant properties. They protect your skin from harmful free radicals. It also gives a natural glow to your skin.
# Vitamin E oil works great for dry or chapped skin. It has powerful moisturizing properties that make your dry, chapped skin soft and smooth. It also helps soothe irritation and itching.
# Rose essential oil restores your dry skin back to life. It moisturizes your skin as well as reduce irritation. It has antibacterial properties that keep your skin healthy. Rose essential oil helps open up your skin pores. This makes it easier for the skin to absorb all the nutrients of this coconut oil body lotion.
