IS IT SAFE TO USE ANY COCONUT OIL FOR MY SKIN?

People often think that all virgin coconut oils are alike when it comes to using them for cooking and skin care, but it’s not true! For starters, many coconut oils will clog your pores and cause breakouts. Make sure you’re not doing your skin more harm than good by using the right one!

Your choice of which coconut oil to use can either make or break your beauty routine. Don’t let the mistake of using the wrong coconut oil turn you off from using it on your skin, forever!

"Very impressed! I've been using various coconut oils for my skin/hair care for about 20yrs. I think this brand is by far my favorite! A little goes a long way. Leaves my dry skin very hydrated, super soft and not greasy at all. Autoship worthy!"



CHOOSING A HIGH QUALITY COCONUT OIL FOR YOUR SKIN

You should know that simply because it’s marketed as cold-pressed “virgin coconut oil” it doesn’t mean you should start applying it all over your skin. Many of the oils on the market are just way too smelly,  thick, greasy, and are full of impurities.

Most coconut oils for cooking, even ones marketed to include “skin and hair use” are only really good enough for cooking and really shouldn’t  be used on your body.

 

  • Use high quality oil that contains no impurities - You want a clean, extremely pure,  high quality raw coconut oil that doesn’t contain impurities that can clog your pores, lead to breakouts, reactions, or harm your skin.

  • Avoid coconut oil that’s  been treated or extracted using chemicals - You want a pure, natural and organic coconut oil. The kind you can safely use for the whole family, from baby’s skin to grandma’s skin, and anyone in between!

  • Look for an oil that contains ALL of the essential nutrients beneficial to your skin - many low-quality oils will not contain these  nutrients, as they are lost or burned off during the extraction process.

  • Use a coconut oil with no strong coconut scent or foul odors - You want an oil that has no strong or foul odors that leave you smelling like burnt, dried coconut! This can also be a sign of high moisture content and impurity, which can clog pores and make it go rancid quicker.

  • Avoid any coconut oil that’s been bleached, deodorized, or refined in any way These are often old or very low grade oils that are treated to hide the tell-tale signs of low quality.
  •  

    In other words, if you are using coconut oil for your body, it’s extremely important to use a clean, high quality oil that is  pure and unrefined. Make sure to choose one that contains ALL the raw nutrients and fatty acids beneficial to your skin, such as COCO & CO. natural, organic   Clean, 100% RAW Coconut Oil for Skin.

     

    Using a special extraction process, COCO & CO. produces the highest quality beauty-grade oil available on the market and lab tested up to 1000% more pure than other virgin coconut oil brands.

    “I’ve been using this coconut oil for a year now and my skin looks 20 years younger …I always thought the coconut oil thing was a craze. I was wrong. I've been using it for over a year and am amazed. My skin feels so much better than it has been when I've used really expensive products”

    HOW TO USE FOR BODY

    Deeply moisturizing, coconut oil protects the skin from dehydration and keeps it feeling soft. It reduces inflammation in irritated or delicate skin types while also increasing collagen production which reduces wrinkles and age spots.

    STEP 1:     Scoop a very small amount of coconut oil onto your fingertips- Due to the purity of the oil, you won’t need much - just a little bit goes a long way!  

    STEP 2:     Apply the coconut oil to your whole body by gently massaging the oil onto your skin,  applying more oil in small amounts, as needed.

    STEP 3: (Optional)     Based on your preference, you can either leave on, (an you’re done!) Or use one of the following methods to remove excess oil:

    1. Using a towel, gently wipe off the excess oil from your skin’s surface -  OR
    2. Rinse off the excess oil using warm water and a mild soap, such as COCO & CO. beauty bar. 

    Don’t worry, Coconut oil does the job quickly and efficiently! It absorbs fast and penetrates deep into your skin, leaving all the benefits and moisture your skin will need.

    STEP 4: Now, rinse off any excess coconut oil on your hands with a mild soap and warm water.

    Feel free to experiment on the options in step 3. Try them all and see what works best for you based on your preference and skin-type.


    BONUS TIP: One of our favorite ways to use coconut oil is right before taking a shower! Read here.

    “My face was covered in acne with new ones popping up daily, and I just couldn’t get rid of them no matter what I did. My friend suggested I try coconut oil and let me just say, it worked a miracle. I started using this as a moisturizer and my acne disappeared. My skin has never looked better, and that’s coming from someone who was on Accutane… And my skin is so healthy and happy. I’m halfway through this jar and will not stop using it!”

    HOW TO USE ON FACE

    Coconut oil provides anti-inflammatory effects for people with sensitive skin. It also reduces the appearance of fine lines, age spots, and promotes healthy collagen production - all without harsh chemicals!

    Pro tip: This method works best immediately after rinsing your face with warm water

    STEP 1:     Scoop a small amount (no more than the size of a dime) onto your fingertips. Remember, due to the purity of the oil, a little bit goes a long way!

    STEP 2:     Massage onto your skin with fingertips using a circular motion. Start from your forehead and work your way down to your neck areas. Pay special attention to the small areas and crevices right around your eyes, nose and lips.

    STEP 3: (Optional)    After letting coconut oil sit for one minute, rinse off the excess oil with warm water and a mild soap such as COCO & CO. beauty bar. Alternatively, you can use a towel and gently pat down to remove the excess oil instead of rinsing!

    Don’t worry! Coconut oil does the job quickly and efficiently! It absorbs fast and penetrates deep into your skin, leaving all the benefits and moisture your skin will need.

    NOTE: Some may prefer to skip this step and leave the coconut oil on without rinsing. This will depend on your preference and skin type, it’s completely up to you!

    HOW TO USE AS MAKEUP REMOVER 

    Raw coconut oil makes it a breeze removing makeup, even waterproof mascara! There’s no rough scrubbing required, so it could be one of the best decisions you ever make for your delicate eye area and around your face.
