Coconut oil contains many compounds that contribute to skin health, including medium chain fatty acids, which keep the skin smooth when applied topically. The fatty acids found in coconut oil helps skin retain its moisture and also reduces the appearance of pores. Capric, caprylic, and lauric acids have been linked to weight loss, which can reduce excess fat, stretch marks, and folds in the skin. Vitamin E helps repair wear and tear on the skin by keeping it smooth and protecting against dryness and it works as an antioxidant to reduce wrinkles. Coconut oil is also an excellent source of protein, which is needed to keep skin rejuvenated. Protein contributes to tissue repair and cellular health to help repair damaged skin.

Blueberries may help individuals get rid of acne, which is often caused by hormonal changes, through their vitamin A content, a vitamin that helps neutralize oil levels in the skin. Blueberries also contain quite a lot of vitamin C, which can help strengthen the blood vessels under the skin by promoting circulation. Vitamin C, as is quite clear at this point in time, greatly reduces the appearance of wrinkles and acne. Blueberries are high in antioxidants known as phytochemicals, which fight free radical damage and reverse skin aging.
