  1. Moisturizer - Coconut oil makes a wonderful moisturizer for your legs, arms, and elbows. You can use it on your face as well — though this isn't recommended for those with very oily skin.
  2. Face Scrub - Coconut oil makes for a great base ingredient in a yummy face scrub. All you will need for your own DIY face scrub is melted coconut oil and sea salt. The sea salt is a great exfoliator, while the coconut oil rehydrates your skin.

  4. Oral Health - Coconut oil can be a powerful weapon against bacteria, the bacteria in your mouth that causes dental plaque, tooth decay, and gum disease.

  6. Protect Your Skin From UV Rays - When applied to your skin, coconut oil may protect it from the sun's ultraviolet rays, which raise your risk of skin cancer and cause wrinkling and brown spots.
