It will not darken your skin tone. Coconut Oil is an effective natural skin moisturizer for all skin types. It also keeps your skin hydrated while taking a sunbath. If you are using purely organic coconut oil without any additives and chemicals it will not harm your skin. Let's have a detailed discussion for better advice and healthy lifestyle.
