What does it do? How come there's so many kind of oils for your skin to use? Like Almond oil, Olive oil, Coconut oil, Tea tree oil, ect.......
But what does Coconut oil do for your skin? Where can I find it?
Answer
Coconut oil is excellent as a skin moisturiser. A study shows that extra virgin coconut oil is as effective and safe as mineral oil when used as a moisturiser, with absence of adverse reactions [6].
Coconut oil can also help in healing Keratosis pilaris by moisturising the effected area. The coconut oil should be applied in the shower, and may cause the KP bumps to disappear.
In India, coconut oil is used as an oil for styling hair.
-------------------------------------------
For skincare, using coconut oil as you would any lotion is ideal. It prevents destructive free-radical formation. It can help to keep the skin from developing liver spots and other blemishes caused by aging and overexposure to sunlight. It helps to prevent sagging and wrinkling by keeping connective tissues strong and supple. The oil is absorbed into the skin and into the cell structure of the connective tissues, limiting the damage excessive sun exposure can cause.
Coconut oil will not only bring temporary relief to the skin, but it will aid in healing and repairing. It will have lasting benefits, unlike most lotions. It can help bring back a youthful appearance. Coconut oil can aid in removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, making the skin smoother. The skin becomes more evenly textured with a healthy "shine". And coconut oil will penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and strengthen the underlying tissues.
To obtain all of coconut oil's health and weight loss benefits, 30 mls per day is recommended for adults.

Answer
Coconut oil doesn't add much of a taste to food, but adds a dreamy, sweet smell. It's great for tropical dishes! However, it is mostly saturated fat, so should be used in moderation. Certainly it is not a weight loss supplement. In one serving there are 14g of fat, 12.5 of which are saturated! Olive oil or vegetable oil would be a healthier alternative.
As for hair and skin, it's great for both. I use it as a facial and body moisturizer once a week and it works wonders even on sensitive, dry skin like mine. As for firming skin, I have not seen any research, but most research on cosmetic issues like that are completely unreliable anyway. Having fat in your diet is good for your hair, but applying it straight to your hair will leave it greasy.
Tanning....well, I don't tan ( counterproductive to the skin health issues) so I can't say.
Hope that helped a little :)
