Coconut oil is a widely recognized hydrating agent, whether used in its pure form or as an ingredient within moisturizers. When your skin is exceptionally dry, coconut oil emerges as a top-tier solution for replenishment.

Post-shower or bath, generously apply virgin coconut oil all over your body. Delicately massage it into your skin to seal in moisture, resulting in a soft, nourished feel. Concentrate on areas like elbows and knees, which often experience heightened dryness.

This regimen not only combats athlete’s foot but also works wonders for addressing cracked heels.

9. Anti-Aging Face Wash

Moreover, its ability to boost collagen production contributes to firmer skin, diminishing the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in a more youthful appearance.

10. Relieves Psoriasis

By effectively locking in moisture, coconut oil combats the dryness associated with psoriasis. Simply apply a small amount to affected areas, treating them like you would with any moisturizer. Additionally, massaging coconut oil into the scalp can aid in loosening psoriasis scales, providing relief from discomfort.

11. Soothes Eczema

Coconut oil presents itself as a natural remedy for individuals coping with eczema, a group of skin conditions characterized by redness, itching, and swollen patches.

13. Minimizes Dandruff

Coconut oil possesses anti-fungal properties that can effectively reduce the levels of yeast on the skin, which are known to trigger inflammation, flaking, and itching commonly associated with dandruff.

To use coconut oil for dandruff:

• Melt 2-3 tablespoons of coconut oil by placing it in a bowl and immersing the bowl in hot water.
• Apply the melted oil to your scalp and massage it in gently.

• Leave the oil on for 30 minutes. Optionally, use a shower cap to prevent dripping.
• Wash it out with a sulphate-free Pure Fiji’s Coconut Milk Shampoo.
• Apply a generous amount evenly to damp hair concentrating on mid-strand to ends. Leave for 2-3 minutes, or more as desired, then rinse.

14. Wear It As a Swim Cap

The downside of indulging in a refreshing swim? Undoubtedly, it's the detrimental effects saltwater and chlorine can have on your hair. But fear not! Before you dive into the pool or ocean, shield your locks with a layer of pure virgin coconut oil. This natural remedy serves as a protective barrier, safeguarding your strands from the damaging effects of water exposure, to some extent. Consider it your chic alternative to a traditional swim cap, ensuring your hair stays healthy and vibrant without the dreaded "dork" factor.

15. Tames frizzy hair

When water infiltrates the hair shaft, it prompts swelling, resulting in that dreaded frizzy appearance. Enter coconut oil, the hero of humidity. Its barrier properties hinder water absorption, effectively thwarting frizz formation.

But wait, there's more! Coconut oil doesn't just combat humidity; it's also a savior for damaged locks. By penetrating the hair shaft, it works to restore smoothness and evenness to those unruly strands. For best results, apply a few drops of virgin coconut oil to dry hair, particularly prior to braving humid or rainy conditions. Consider it your secret weapon against the elements, leaving your hair sleek and frizz-free.
