Can I use Lobate GM on my face? I'm really upset because of all these pimples and black spots. I'm fair-skinned, but my face is just covered with them, and it's really bothering me. Do you think this cream could help?

Does coconut oil help hair grow?
Usage of coconut oil on hair depends on hair type. In persons with oily or greasy hair/ scalp, additional application of oil must be avoided to prevent clogging of hair follicles which causes hair loss. In persons with dry or flaky hair/ scalp, any natural oils may be used in moderation to mosturize the hair.
