I have recently started using coconut oil as face wash and I love it! It feels so good on my skin and the container lasts forever! I love using chemical free products on my skin. Try it out and let me know what you think! Do you use any other beauty products that you can also find in your kitchen??
(I used organic, virgin, cold pressed, refined coconut oil)

I have been doing this for a while. I love it!!! Make my own body wash, and scrubs too. I have seen great improvements in my skin since using coconut oil only.
I use a normal face wash to take off my makeup and wash my face then I use coconut oil as a moisturizer.i don't break out from it at all
For acne, coconut oil may make it worse or make it better. I think it comes down to skin type and cause of your acne. You definitely shouldn't over saturate your face with it though. You want your face to absorb the coconut oil and that's it! Don't apply so much that it just becomes grease. Acne with a bacterial problem benefits from this. To find out if it's right for you, the only way is to apply it and see if it works or not. What is there to lose? :)

+Okami and Kizuna No it should not make your skin worse. In the beginning you WILL break out, because coconut oil is detoxing your skin aka taking out all the bad that's been in from what you previously put on. Therefore saying the blackheads,whiteheads, and etc. In order to get to the good you got to go through the bad.
I always wondered about using this as a facial cleanser - thanks for the vid!
Yessss. Try manuka honey as a face mask. You will love it. The benefits are truly amazing. I use baking soda as an exfoliate, apple-cider vinegar as a toner. I do the oil pulling (face cleansing) with coconut oil, olive oil, a little tea tree oil. I have acne that's why I use tea tree. Some times I make a paste with the baking soda and honey for a mask. After my shower, I blot dry my skin and rub coconut oil all over. My skin looks and feels so much more healthy and supple.

Hmmm, considering coconuts contain Caprylic acid known for being an antibacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal and having anti-inflammatory properties this very well could be great on your skin. Coconut also has Caprylic acid which balances hormones (a common cause of acne) and Capric acid which has similar properties to caprylic acid. This should be a decent detox and skin booster. If you consider it is created with MCFAs (medium chain fatty acids), it makes sense the body can absorb it easier then most other forms of fat.
I use coconut oil as a lotion but now I will try it on my face as well ;) Coffee and coconut oil are amazing... I use ground coffee to make a peeling. I mix it with ground cinnamon, sugar and a few drops of coconut oil. After that skin is as smooth as silk.
I always double-cleanse with some water-based foaming cleanser after using coconut oil to remove sunscreen or dirt. Just to be sure I removed all that grease that can clog my pores. It is important to use a moisturizer not to over stripping the skin! But the coconut oil is AMAZING, cheaper than those expensive Oil Cleansers or makeup remover and I just love the smell and the sensation on the skin.
I love using coconut oil on my body, my face feel so refreshed.

wow I can't wait to use this. I am currently suffering from acne and am willing to try anything. Hopefully my 3 years worth of suffering will stop
I do this sometimes mixed with brown sugar. It makes my skin feel super soft!
it really works! i also use a homemade natural face mask that consists of aztec healing clay, activated charcoal, thayers rose witch hazel, and diluted rose otto. the mask is really good for acne and detoxifying skin. and to follow the mask you use a little thin layer of coconut oil to hydrate!
I've used coconut oil as a facial moisturizer for a couple of years and LOVE it. I didn't realize you could use it to wash your face though! I've used Extra Virgin Olive Oil mixed with Castor oil and essential oils as facial wash but this sounds better! I make a lotion/cream with olive oil, shea butter and essential oil for my lotion, it's amazing!

I also put it in my hair, braid it in two pigtails and wait a little while or overnight or as long as I want, then I unbraid it and wham! - naturally curly and shiny (with bounce). It's also good for dry scalp.
Nicely put. Excellent video!
yes I do this too and have been for a long time. It is the best!
I forgot to say... I use coconut oil in my hair. I leave it in overnight. When washed out the next morning it feels so soft and healthy. :)
I can't believe how soft this left my skin, thanks for sharing :)

I live on the coast of Texas so it gets really hot here and I always wear makeup so I have ALWAYS struggled with dry, red skin plus, I have a couple of spots of psoriasis on my face. NOTHING has ever helped, I mean it would at first but 10 minutes later my face would feel dry again. I watched your video and I tried this about an hour ago and my face feels so good and it's still moisturized. Thank you so much. You're a life saver! Much love. ~Brittany

So do you like still use face cleanser & moisturiser after/before applying the coconut oil orrr?
If there were one product I couldn't live without, it would be coconut oil. I use it as lotion after a shower (esp on my stretch marks, knees, elbows and feet), I use it in my hair and I've used it to remove my eye make up. Never used it to wash my entire face, but after watching this, I'm definitely going to try it. Thanks for the suggestion.

I suffer with pretty bad psoriasis and have done for years, but the prescribed stuff i use on my body is too dangerous to use on my face, where i get it a lot. However i discovered coconut oil and it has worked wonders! the dry skin has virtually gone and i virtually have no redness on my face anymore. I now only use coconut oil to treat all my psoriasis. guessing it could help with eczema too

Maya Robinson This has been my experience for my Rosasea too. I spent gobs of money on a 3-step Rosasea treatment and it helped very little. One night it was very inflamed and just thought to google rosacea and coconut oil and it said it was great for it so I tried it. Ahhhh the RELIEF!!! The inflammation was calmed immediately. I've been using it everyday since instead of the expensive treatment with no regrets! Glad you found its working well for you too!
I've used coconut oil most of my childhood to teenage years, I lived in hot tropical places and it doesn't have the same effect. good for night time only not day time. I broke out into sweat pimples
I've never struggled with acne before and for the past few months it's gotten pretty bad. I'm eating clean and drinking lots so I think it's hormonal. If I try to use this should I wash my face before and use the coconut as a moisturizer? Or should I only use the coconut?
I use it and I love it!
Hi. I just wanna ask if is ok to use whitening soap on the face then use coconut oil as a moisturizer?
WAUEREN GOT OUR BACKS FONNA USE THIS EVERYDAY
so lauren can i put coconut oil on my face then go out in the daylight but then wait a min then rub it off like you said right
What if you put it before you go to sleep and when you wake up, then wash with water? Would that work?
Where did you buy that coconut oil?
Can I do this even if I am not wearing makeup? Like can I do this in the mornings?
I mix rice water with a little bit of ((sea salt) that can use for cooking) and mix some coconut oil into the rice water . Till now I think is a good cleanser for my skins that I like it.
coconut all is good for everything beauty related I couldn't live without it.

I do a lemon and baking soda mask once a week. Its really good if any one has ance scars. I do not recommend if you have freckles and want them. Lemon is a natural bleacher, it evens your skin color out. Doing a milk of magnesia mask as well works wonders.

How I use it and it is amazing you are my biggest fan and am only 10 years old I use coconut oil hairdress and it work thanks
oily skin here.. should I use just coconut oil OR coconut oil and my acne products?
Coconut oil has antimicrobial properties (National Institutes of Health studies, not a "personal opinion). So, it would help acne in the long run because cleaning with it would keep the germs and infection that cause acne to be eliminated or reduced. Since it is also a moisturizer, I would think that it should be used after the water has soaked the skin to keep the water in. It is also good for your hair. Coconut oil is good for use on the teeth. I have a little squeeze bottle when the oil is liquid (warm months), and use it with a toothbrush to brush the teeth. It cleans the little microbes and bacteria in the mouth to make your breath fresh and sweet. Obviously, it is good if you suffer from dry mouth, or are going to give a speech. Coconut oil is amazing for cooking as well. The essential oils are also good for your skin when you eat them. As a beauty treatment, coconut oil is a necessity!
it is amazing on the skin
Hi :) i have oily skin and acne does the coconut oil works for my skin tipe?Thank you :D
I love to use Indian healing clay mixed with apple cider vinegar for a mask
I cleanse my skin with coconit oil. I apply it on a dry face then wash it off in the shower then dry off when im done showering, use an alcohol free toner and apply more coconut oil to moisrurize.
This is amazing
I also take my makeup off with Coconut oil and i also made a mix of Coconut oil and frankensense oil as a under eye cream . I use it in the morning and at night . Also if you have thin brows and want them to get thicker use some coconut oil on them before bed . I had thin brows from over tweezing and started to put the coconut oil on my brows before bed and in three weeks my brows got thicker .

I have a question!! Does it matter if you use hot or cold water? Are you using hot water because you like how it feels like you're at a spa? lol. I just saw people say they used cold water and got good results also. I've been using coconut for my entire seventh grade school year. IVE NEVER TRIED THIS THOUGH! I've always just massaged it to my face, since I'm not allowed to wear makeup, before school. I felt confident and didn't feel the need to put on makeup. I've even gotten pimples for the first time that year and I just ignored them and continued to put coconut oil on and the pimples disappeared in just a couple days! And they weren't small pimples either haha. I really want to do this face wash with it though because I've been recently JUST starting to get some acne problems and hope this will help a little bit! I also wanted to see if this works so that I can share it on my channel. I ABSOLUTELY adore coconut oil! Thanks so much for this video! I think I'll try the face wash before I go to bed tonight haha

Hi I'm from Malaysia, loved that I found your video the minutes i searched "coconut oil as face wash". I headed straight to the nearest organic store and bought a bottle of coconut oil. However, when I opened it, the coconut oil is in it's liquid form rather than the pasty form like yours. Do you think it will have the same effect if I use this liquid form coconut oil? Thansk!

Coconut oil is a saturated fat, meaning it can change form depending on the temperature. If kept in colder temperatures, it will solidify, and during warmer temperatures, it will melt and become gooey/liquid. I tried putting mine in the refrigerator, and it was too solid when I wanted to use so I had to break it with a spoon!

Hi Evonne! So happy you found my channel!!!! Xoxox and the coconut oil will change consistency depending on temperature. You can stick it in the fridge for an hour or so and it will harden! Good luck and enjoy!
I remove makeup first with coconut oil them do a face massage with honey. Wash that off then apply coconut oil again, allow it to soak in for a few hours or if you're in a hurry a few minutes will do just fine. I also have a container of coconut & extra virgin olive oil mixed that I love applying before bed and leaving on all night! Just remember there is an important tip I will share, after you wash your face with hot water immediately splash cold water for about 20 seconds on your face because it will close your pores and allow the moisture to to stay locked in and the dirt and grime to stay locked out! 😉
i put the coconut oil all over my legs and arms i herd its also good for your hair so i drench my hair in the coconut oil leave in for 4 hours and take a shower. Even when i get out i apply it again
Can I use this while using proactive? If so, do I apply and wash off the coconut oil before applying proactive?
