Coconut oil has long been considered a beauty “cure-all,” but if we’re being straight with you, that’s a major stretch. Sure — in a perfect world, the sweet-smelling oil would make skin conditions like acne and eczema magically disappear. Hell, it’d make hair grow thicker and longer, too. But that’s simply not the case, folks. (Sorry to break the bad news.)
Now for the much-needed good news: Coconut oil is still a great beauty staple that can be used for myriad things — including skin- and hair-care treatments. Unfortunately, it’s just not going to “cure” you of anything at the end of the day.
