Coconut oil has been lauded for speeding up metabolism and improving brain function, yet scientific research shows no proof for these claims, and it contains saturated fats linked to raising cholesterol.

I got a bit sunburned and didn't realize until I hopped into the shower and noticed how the water kind of stung. I was then a bit red in several places and applied this. The next day, the redness was a lot tamer, and my skin wasn't as sensitive. By day two, it was as if I was never sunburned and just tan! Now I put this on after I shower if I had spent some time in the sun just in case to help my skin stay hydrated and soothed.
