Although accessible and loved by many, coconut oil isn't good for facial care.
Coconut oil became a loyal companion of beauty care, both for hair and skin. However, its down fall was as fast as its rise to fame, at least between the beauty lovers.
Experts of many fields are alerting about the disadvantages of using coconut oil in everything.
On your face, for example, the oil can be dismissed if you don't have dry skin. Did you know that?
According to the dermatologist Luigi Polla, founder of Forever Institut and Alchimie Forever, coconut oil can't be applied to everybody's skincare routine. Did you know that?
If your skincare products contain coconut oil, it doesn't mean your need to throw it away.
Some products contain minimal amounts of coconut oil, just enough to help with a better spread of the product or give an extra touch of nourishment and hydration.
Pay attention to how your skin reacts, and compare it to another product that doesn't contain coconut oil.
Generally speaking, if you are worried about clogged pores, it is always better to use less makeup. Remember that.

Coconut oil became a loyal companion of beauty care, both for hair and skin.

He explained to Bazaar that coconut oil is inadvisable, especially for oily and acne-prone
skin.
For Pola, coconut oil is known for its lauric acid, which has antimicrobial properties that
fight the bacteria that cause acne.
You might be thinking that it makes coconut oil great for oily skin, but this ingredient
has the bad reputation of clogging our pores.
In other cases, however, coconut oil can seal the skin, being great to protect the skin
against transepidermal water loss, TEWL.
Coconut oil is a good option if your skin needs an occlusive agent to help keep its
humidity and barrier function.
As a substitution, Pola indicates oils with a chemical composition similar to human sebum.
His favorites are jojoba and grapeseed oil.
Argan oil is a good option if your aim is to have a source of omega fatty acids, vitamin
E, and linoleic acid.
Pola also says that these oils have healing and anti-inflammatory properties, which is
good for people who suffer from psoriasis, rosacea, acne, and rashes.
If your skincare products contain coconut oil, it doesn't mean you need to throw it
