I used just coconut oil to clean my face for 24 days and here’s why I am never going back to expensive cleansers

Ditching all the face washes, cleansers and makeup removers!

All of us have a tedious schedule these days, and we also can’t completely stop using makeup. Cleaning makeup becomes a difficult task, and I have seen people who sometimes are so tired that they sleep off with the makeup on or keep expensive makeup removers by their side on the bed! I tried using coconut oil as a facial cleanser and makeup remover and believe me it worked wonders! I haven’t tried doing this with any other oil, but I am sure if you are allergic to coconut oil or do not like coconut oil, you can try this with any other oil that suits your skin.

Here’s how I used it: Also Read - Korean skincare routines for radiant and flawless skin



[1]As a makeup remover: After I get done with my day on a full face of makeup I take 2-3 drops of coconut oil on a cotton ball and apply it on my eye makeup first. Just dab the oil all over and gently rub it all over my eyelid and eyebrows. After that taking another ball of cotton, I gently rub the makeup off my eyes. Doing it one or two times is enough for me to get rid of the eye makeup. Similarly, for the rest of my face, I repeat the same exercise. Also Read - Curd face mask recipes for glowing, radiant skin

[2] As a normal facial cleanser: When I am not wearing makeup and still find my face dirty, I resort to coconut oil. All I do is wash my face with plain water and pat dry. Take 2-3 drops of coconut oil on my palm and rub it well in between my palms and then on my face and continue rubbing it for a while with my finger tips too. Instead of washing it off, I use soft tissue paper or soft cloth to wipe my face dry, and I can see the dirt on it.

Results:

1. It leaves your skin moisturised and soft.

2. If you think it becomes too oily later on, it doesn’t.

3. After cleaning with oil, I can apply makeup directly without moisturising my face.

4. I don’t feel the need of expensive facewashes and makeup removers, which means I am saving bucks.

5. My skin feels less itchy, dry and flaky

6. Now when I apply makeup, because of the great moisturization it gives me at the base, I get a better finish.

Points to keep in mind:

I have combination skin and am not allergic to coconut oil.

People with very oily skin should not consider this method.

Would you like to try this method or have already tried? Any other use of coconut oil that has helped you a lot? Put down in the comments below.
