Coconut oilÂ
Coconut oil is an effective moisturiser for the epidermis. Coconut oil contains fatty acids that provide the skin with moisture and heal dry skin. Randomised clinical trials were conducted to determine the effect of virgin coconut oil on the skin of infants. Using coconut oil for four weeks improved the symptoms of atopic dermatitis more than mineral oil did.
Apply virgin coconut oil to the epidermis after bathing and multiple times per day. Utilise the oil before bed to keep the epidermis hydrated overnight. Extra virgin coconut oil is typically solid at ambient temperature, but becomes liquid when exposed to body temperature. However, individuals who are allergic to coconut oil should avoid using it.
