Hello Beautiful,
Like many people today, I have jumped on the coconut oil band wagon. When I first heard of washing your face with coconut oil I thought it was a crazy idea. I thought "isn't washing your face supposed to remove oils?" But upon further investigation for my Oily Skin post I did a while back (Read that here!) I learned that you aren't supposed to be removing all oils. I still was a little worried. We all know oils and oily skin are not a good combination. But it works!
Yep, it's that simple! You don't even need to moisturize after because the coconut oil leaves your skin moisturized and clean!

How to:
- Step one: Wet your face with warm water.
- Step two: Scoop out desired amount of coconut oil from the jar.
- (I use about a half of a tablespoon but the amount you use differs based on your preferences. Try out different amounts without going overboard to find your perfect match.)
- Step three: Rub oil between fingers to turn it from a solid to a liquid-like substance.
- Step four: Rub all over face to remove dirt, unwanted oil and makeup.
- Step five: Rinse face and pat dry.
Yep, it's that simple! You don't even need to moisturize after because the coconut oil leaves your skin moisturized and clean!

WHY?
Why should you be using coconut, you may ask. I've got one word that should sound really good: NONTOXIC! Yep, take a second to go look at your current face wash. It is filled with acids, alcohol, and fragrances that are all really bad for your skin.
Also, It's moisturizing properties. Dermatologists use coconut oil on dry, irritated skin, such as patients with atopic dermatitis.
SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
Go get some coconut oil!
