Dry skin - #4052

Coconut oil is widely used in Ayurvedic skincare due to its moisturizing properties, but when it comes to the idea of skin darkening in the daytime, Ayurveda doesn't typically claim coconut oil itself causes this. Coconut oil is nourishing and cooling, but it can sometimes lead to clogged pores if used excessively in humid or hot environments, potentially causing skin issues. However, using coconut oil during the day could make you more prone to sun exposure, which may lead to tanning or darkening of the skin. It’s always advisable to use natural oils like coconut oil at night, allowing your skin to absorb the oil while you sleep. During the day, if you want to moisturize, try using oils like safflower, rose, or almond oil, which are lighter and less likely to attract the sun’s rays.
