Coconut Oil on your Face at Night

Coconut oil is an amazing moisturizer for your face – there’s no doubt about it. It’s rich in healthy fatty acids such as lauric, capric, caprylic, stearic and mystiric acids! These fatty acids have small molecular structures which makes them easily able to sink into the skin at a fast rate. That’s why coconut oil is a superior moisturizer – it penetrates deep into skin cells, keeping them supple and moisturized.

Here are more benefits of coconut oil for your face:

• Smooths out fine lines and wrinkles
• Softens rough skin
• Helps get rid of bumpy skin
• Calms rosacea
• Soothes skin inflammation
• Makes skin supple
• Reduces appearance of spider veins on cheeks/nose
