Coconut Facial Cleanser
Simply put, facial cleansers are formulated to clean our skin. Cleansers are products we use to remove normal accumulation of dirt and oils, makeup, sunscreen, remains of pollution, and dead skin cells, they aid in unclogging pores and exfoliation of the top skin cells.

Description

Coconut oil has strong moisturizing properties and can be used as a cleanser for those with dry skin.

Avoid cleansing with coconut oil if you have oily or acne-prone skin as it can potentially clog pores.

When choosing a coconut oil cleanser, avoid unrefined coconut oil as it has less antioxidants due to processing and possibly unwanted substances such as bleach.

Benefit:

Some cleansers, such as those containing certain alcohols or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), are known to exacerbate dry skin.

Used as a cleanser, coconut oil can have a strong hydrating effect which helps keep skin moisturized. This is beneficial for normal or combination skin types but especially so for those with dry skin. Coconut oil also has anti-inflammatory properties and can be suitable for eczema sufferers.

Coconut oil can also protect the skin against infection as it contains high concentrations of lauric acid, a fatty acid that has potent antimicrobial properties. This can prevent the growth of microorganisms that can cause skin conditions such as acne and cellulitis.

Coconut oil is also effective at removing makeup, dead skin cells and other debris, which helps keep skin healthy and reduces the risk of breakouts.
