For the past month or so I've been using a lot of coconut oil, and no I don't mean just eating it... Sure coconut oil is mainly used for cooking, it's great for your body, helps control weight, assists digestion, lowers diabetes, supports your immune system, boosts your metabolism and it tastes like you're on a tropical beach holiday! ;)
But not only is coconut oil for eating, it's perfect for skin care!
What I like to do when removing make up instead of going for some over priced cleansers that are usually packed with ingredients that I can't even pronounce, I reach for my bottle or jar of coconut oil (Depending on the room temperature the coconut oil may solidify in the cold or liquify in the heat).
I place some on my hand and wait a few seconds for it to turn into a liquid consistency which will happen when you place it in the palms of your hand, I then just start rubbing it onto my full face of make up... I rub it right in even applying the coconut oil on my eyelids and eyelashes to remove eye make up. I then get a little bit of water in my hands and start rubbing that into my face to emulsify the oil.
When I feel like I've massaged my face enough I take a face cloth (or hand towel whatever you like to call it) and soak it in the hottest water I can bare and then wipe off the coconut oil thoroughly to get all the make up off.
I then will add a toner to completely get the coconut residue off my face, and moisturise (You can also just use a little extra coconut oil to moisturise.)
I got my coconut oil at a local Asian supermarket, and it's so inexpensive for something that lasts so long!
Really give it a try, coconut oil is immaculate!
Until next time, take care my loves.
