'Use coconut oil as a moisturizer.'
"Use coconut oil as a moisturizer." Find yourself in a hurry to head to the office and suddenly realize you're out of your go-to moisturizer? Plenty of bloggers will suggest using non-fractionated coconut oil as an alternative, but hair, makeup and male grooming expert Sophia Porter says to tread lightly on this hack. On the comedogenic scale, which determines how likely a product is to clog your pores, coconut oil receives a whopping 4 out of 5. This means if you're particularly sensitive or acne-prone, you could experience a major breakout and should only go for brands and ingredients that earn a zero rating. "Use facial oils like argan oil, hemp seed oil, sunflower oil, camellia oil or kukui oil to avoid any sort of adverse reaction," she says.
