When we wash our faces and bathe with soap and water, the chain fatty acids in the unique natural protective layer of the skin are easily washed away. At this time, the skin is unprotected and easily infected by bacteria. The medium-chain triglycerides contained in coconut oil will form medium-chain fatty acids with antibacterial and bactericidal functions after contacting with lipophilic bacteria. Therefore, after bathing, appropriate amount should be applied to the face or body, and massaged for 1-2 minutes, and then infiltrated into the skin for about 10 minutes, so as to restore the natural chemical protective film of the body. Moreover, in the long run, skin will become smooth and moist.
You can also apply coconut oil to your face and massage for 1 min before applying the mask, which can also protect your skin.
Coconut can also be used to remove makeup, prevent sunburn and treat skin diseases, because it has a strong cleaning effect. The method is similar. But don't massage when using coconut oil to remove makeup, so as not to absorb residual makeup.
