7 Ways to Use Coconut Oil in Your Beauty Routine

There are very few natural beauty products that offer as many benefits as coconut oil. It is not only an excellent moisturizer but it is also naturally antibacterial and antifungal. It not only smells great but it is also great for skin care as well as cooking. Here are a few helpful coconut oil skin care tips.

Cleansing


Most cleansers and facial soaps available on the market have an overabundance of alcohol and contain a lot of harsh chemicals that strip natural oils from the skin and may lead to acne and as well as clogged pores. On the other hand, cleansing with coconut oil gets rid of all the impurities, dirt as well as toughest make up but it doesn’t remove the natural oils.

Cleansing with coconut oil gives you clean, soft and moisturized skin. To use it as a cleanser, take a small amount of coconut oil and massage it gently into your skin and wash it off with warm water until all the dirt is gone.
