Coconut oil to wash your face? Yes, you can! It’s not a stretch. In fact, it’s probably the best thing you can do for your beauty routine.
Washing your face is hopefully already part of your daily skin care routine, but what are you using?
Facial cleansers come in all kinds of different bottles and can vary widely in price depending on the brand. They may promise to cleanse your face, clear up acne, remove makeup, and leave your skin feeling hydrated and fresh, but many facial cleansers contain chemicals that can actually harm your skin.
The solution: an easy facial cleanser you can make at home, using natural products that provide all the nutrients you need to keep your skin clean and healthy.
The recipe calls for two products you probably already have in your kitchen-coconut oil and baking soda. The mixture is completely safe to use and contains no harmful chemicals or toxins. It has an amazing effect on scars, acne, redness, excess dirt and oil, and dead skin.
Baking soda alone is a remedy for acne. It regulates the pH level of the skin and helps heal breakouts. Coconut oil has powerful healing, moisturizing, and antibacterial properties that nourish and heal the skin. Mixing these products together creates a safe combination, even for sensitive skin. Keep in mind that wet-milling traditional virgin coconut oil provides the best results.
The amounts of ingredients used will vary depending on your skin type. If you have sensitive skin, use the coconut oil and baking soda in a 2:1 ratio. If you want to use the mixture as an exfoliator, prepare the mixture in a 1:1 ratio.
Instructions:
1. Combine coconut oil and baking soda and mix. A little warm water may be added to aid in the process.
2. Apply the mixture to your face. You can gently massage your skin with circular motions, then immediately rinse off with warm water; or you can use the mixture as a facial mask and leave on for a few minutes.
It is as simple as that. This simple combination can provide amazing effects in a completely safe and natural way. It is quick and easy to do!
