Questions
Does coconut oil clog pores?
It can, for some people, when left on the face. It is generally fine on lips and body. If you're breakout-prone, keep it off your face.
Is coconut oil good for lips?
Yes. Its richness is exactly what dry lips want, which is why it turns up in lip scrubs and balms.
