Coconut Oil Madness!

It's no secret that coconut oil is useful for a variety of reason, but did you know it can be used as a makeup remover and moisturizer?  Well, it can!  In fact, for all of my theatrical looks such as Venom and beyond, it is the ONLY thing that gets it all off.  There is absolutely no reason to spend large sums of money on makeup removers, because it is quite possible to achieve the same results with coconut oil.    Just scoop a little out and work it around the face.  Use a dry towel to take the coconut oil off and repeat.  I don't know about you, but I need to double cleanse my face.  The first cleanse gets the majority of makeup off then the second round gets whatever was left from the first round.  Since I have started double cleansing, the incidence of breakouts has decreased tremendously.  Afterwords do your usual skincare routine.  Some people prefer to use a traditional cleanser afterword to get that "clean" feeling.  I am a big fan of cleansing balms and have very sensitive skin, so I find the oil to be plenty.  Next time you have makeup on, especially waterproof product, hit up the kitchen cabinet instead of your wallet and see how your skin feels.  Not only that, but it can be used as a moisturizer in place of body lotion. Check it out!

  1. Great post! I like to incorporate nontoxic products into my beauty and skin care routine when possible. Two of my favorites are jojoba oil and rosewater
