Let me begin by saying
that when I talk about coconut oil, I’m referring to Extra Virgin Cold Pressed
Coconut Oil. This stuff is a miracle oil! It’s so good I use it on my face! Yes
my face. I have suffered with oily/acne prone skin since I was a teenager. I’ve
spent money on dermatologists and high priced face products. Who knew the
answer to my skin problems would come in the form of an oil.
I wash my face twice a day
with coconut oil. It’s a supper easy process:
Step 1- take
a dime size amount of coconut oil and massage it on face for about 1 minute.
Step 2- take
a face cloth (I like to use a white one so I can see the dirt) run it under hot
water. Wring water from cloth then wipe hot cloth over face to remove the
coconut oil from face. I repeat this step until all of the oil is removed.
That’s it! If you suffer
from dry skin you should take a small amount of oil and use it as a face moisturizer. Sometimes I use coconut oil to replace lotion when I get out the tub. My skin
loves this stuff! Did I mention the smell? You’ll smell delicious with this
stuff on.
"Commercial
moisturizers contain lots of water, which makes you feel like your skin is
being moisturized. But as soon as the water dries, your skin becomes dry again.
Also, many commercial brands of moisturizers contain petroleum-based
ingredients that can suffocate the skin. In contrast, coconut oil provides deep
and real moisture. It helps strengthen underlying tissues and helps remove
excessive dead cell on the skin's surface that makes your skin rough and flaky
in texture.” (huffington post)
