At Kapuluan, we have shown many coconut oils the benefits and ways to use coconut oil in your routine. In addition, aany people have asked us about using coconut oil as a face wash. So naturally, we’ve teamed up with Tienlyn Jacobson again to talk about why a coconut oil facewash is good for your skin and some tips that she does to maximize its effectiveness.
Coconut Oil Facewash – Why?
- Coconut oil is the most effective way to remove makeup; if you’ve tried it, you probably have already thrown out all of your makeup remover wipes. None needed.
- Coconut oil doesn’t dry out your skin; it prevents your skin from overproducing oil.
- Coconut oil is a natural antiseptic. So if you get a lot of breakouts, it’s helpful for that, and it also ends up being helpful to reduce redness and rosacea.
Coconut Oil Facewash – Which to use?
Make sure to use high-quality coconut oil that’s raw-, cold-pressed, and has to be organic – no extra ingredients and chemicals, please.
Coconut Oil Facewash – How to wash?
We recommend double washing; have you heard of it? It’s exactly like it sounds – wash, rinse, repeat. Because coconut oil is gentle and effective, it’s perfect for double washing.
Step 1:
Put a small amount of coconut oil in your hands.
*Tip: if coconut oil is solid, rub it in your palm until it becomes a liquid.
Step 2:
Apply coconut oil to your face just like a cleanser with a circular motion, then rinse with water.
Step 3:
Repeat process.
*Tip: take a warm washcloth and let sit for 10-15 seconds before you rinse and use a towel to remove any excess.
And that’s it; try it out for yourself!
