Coconut oil is famous throughout the world not only as an edible oil and hair tonic but also as an excellent massage oil and moisturizer for the skin. In tropical countries where coconuts are readily available and used widely, people use coconut oil for skin. They believe that it protects from the sun’s harmful rays. So this natural oil is more effective in protecting the skin in the hottest and sunniest places on earth. It is better than the processed and artificial sun creams that people usually apply. The beneficial effects of the oil are long-lasting. A single application in the morning will last the whole day. Given these various beneficial properties of coconut oil, it is used as an important ingredient in several skin care creams.
