Best Benefits Of Coconut Oil For Skin Care

Coconut oil is so versatile in beauty care that you can use it in making homemade body lotions or use as makeup remover, excellent serum for strengthening nails, homemade eye creams, various beauty masks, and hair treatments. By using coconut oil on skin and face you can reduce exposure to harmful chemicals and get gorgeous, dewy and glowing facial skin. In this article, you will find uses for coconut oil on skin care.

Here are the benefits of applying coconut oil on your skin:

Cleansing with Coconut Oil

Many facial soaps and cleansers on the market are made with harsh chemicals and an overabundance of alcohol that will strip your skin of its natural oils, causing an overproduction of oil that can lead to skin issues such as acne and clogged pores. Coconut oil is the perfect cleanser for any skin type, even oily, as it will gently wash away all dirt, impurities, and even the toughest makeup, but not every last bit of your natural oils. This will leave your skin soft and moisturized but clean, with enough of your own oils left to stop your skin from going into panic mode.

Waterproof Makeup Remover

Removing waterproof mascara and eyeliner can be one of the most irritating things about the end of your day, and even worse, good waterproof makeup removers are pricey and the knockoffs with reasonable price tags just don’t do the job well. Not only that, but if you take look at the ingredients list, you will find a plethora of ingredients that you cannot pronounce and definitely wouldn’t eat. So why let you skin eat it? Coconut oil, however, will wash off even the most stubborn, clingy, waterproof makeup with ease, as well as moisturize and condition the skin and lashes.

Fights Dryness

Coconut oil, if used on skin prevents dryness and flakiness and keeps it moisturised and supple. It also supports the skin and works to repair the damage it has acquired over time. It eases a common skin condition called neurosis, which is characterized by dry, rough and flaky skin. It also reduces the severity of atopic dermatitis which is prone to infections like Staphylococcus aurous.

Anti-Ager

Coconut oil has been a natural way to keep one looking younger for years, and there has been many a woman through time that has found comfort in this. Coconut oil contains a healthy dose of vitamin E and other antioxidants that prevent premature aging and protect against wrinkles. A dab of coconut oil can be used under make-up or alone to provide all day defense against the signs of aging. Slathered on the face at night, it will work while you sleep and you will wake up looking refreshed and younger.

Marks

Remember when our mother asked us to apply coconut oil on the marks of wounds we used to have as kids? There was a reason to it. Coconut oil is a natural healer and applying it over wounds lightens the scars and marks.

Massage

Because coconut oil is very light, it can be very well absorbed by the body, which means that it can be a very effective massage oil.
