Skin Protection
When you apply coconut oil on your skin, it might aid in protecting you from the ultraviolet rays from the sun, which increases your risk of having skin cancer and might cause brown spots and wrinkling. Coconut oil stops nearly 20% of UV rays from the sun. Therefore, remember that it does not give the same protection just like conventional sunscreen that stops almost 90% of UV rays. Coconut oil contains an SPF (sun protection factor) of 7, which lowers the lowest recommendation in a few countries.
