With the cold fall air right around the corner, many people have to change their skin care routines to prevent dry skin. Utilizing coconut oil as a skin care ingredient (or by itself for a moisturizer) can be very helpful for all skin types. Coconut oil has been know to have anti-inflammatory properties (which can help with irritated skin) and there are no side effects like many other cleansing oils have.
