How to use coconut oil for skin care

Coconut oil is a popular beauty element now, and is being promoted by more and more people in the beauty industry. It has good effects in hair care, skin care, weight loss, etc. Although we have all heard of it, it does not mean that everyone really knows how to use it. Some friends do not know how to use coconut oil for skin care. The following article will introduce this issue!

The method of using coconut oil for skin care is very simple. After washing your face or taking a bath, apply an appropriate amount on your face or body, and massage until the skin is completely absorbed.

When we wash our face and take a bath with soap and water, the skin's unique natural protective layer of medium-chain fatty acids is easily washed away. At this time, the skin is in an unprotected state and is easily infected by bacteria. The medium-chain triglycerides contained in coconut oil will form medium-chain fatty acids with antibacterial and sterilization functions when they come into contact with lipophilic bacteria. Therefore, after bathing, you can apply an appropriate amount on your face or body, massage for 1-2 minutes, and it will penetrate into the skin in about ten minutes, which will restore the body's natural chemical protective film. Moreover, if you do this for a long time, your skin will become smooth and delicate.

You can also apply coconut oil on your face and massage for 1 minute before applying the mask each time. This can also help protect your skin.

Because coconut has a strong cleansing effect, it can also be used to remove makeup, protect against the sun, and treat skin diseases, using similar methods. However, do not massage when using coconut oil to remove makeup to avoid your skin absorbing any remaining makeup.

Coconut oil skin care benefits:

First of all, it can help the skin form a natural protective layer, prevent the entry of bacteria, and prevent the occurrence of various skin inflammations.

Secondly, as a cleanser, coconut oil has a strong cleansing effect. It can help us clean the dirt in the facial skin. It can also act as a makeup remover oil, and its effect is no less than various makeup removers.

Finally, as a moisturizer, coconut oil can help us lock in moisture on the surface of the skin and prevent moisture loss. In the long run, it can make the skin more tender and exude a moist luster, making it the first choice for dry skin.

Because coconut oil is easily absorbed, when we apply it on the skin, we only need to massage for 1-2 minutes for it to be absorbed by the skin, thereby restoring the skin's natural radiance, which is something that other skin care products cannot easily do.
