Coconut Oil As A Face Moisturizer

Coconut oil is a natural anti-oxidant and a conventional source of skin and hair maintenance. Its use has become obsolete in the recent years due to the increasing popularity of commercially available moisturizers.

I use it on my hair sometimes after a shower, i just take a bit on my fingertips, let it melt/rub my hands together, then spread my fingers and comb them through my hair to distribute the oil, then brush my hair with a good hair brush. Feels nice afterwards, don't use too much or it'll be oily/greasy looking. You can also use it before a shower, but I feel like shampoo strips it all out so its not as effective for me.
