The Best Coconut Oil Face Mask Recipe For Healthy Skin

Coconut oil is naturally rich in antioxidants and healthy acids and will soften and lubricate healthy skin cells, break down dead cells, heal acne and hydrate skin. Coconut oil’s small molecular structure allows it to penetrate skin pores to soften rough skin from within. Honey is a natural humectant, which hydrates skin cells. Lastly, fresh lemon juice is a natural astringent, which helps tighten and shrink large pores. Here’s a simple homemade honey, lemon juice and coconut face mask recipe for you to use at any time.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon coconut oil
2 teaspoons raw honey
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

Combine the above ingredients thoroughly in a small mixing bowl.
Apply a thick coat of the mixture onto your clean face.
Allow the mixture to sink in for 10 minutes.
Rinse off with cool water.
Pat dry with a soft towel.

When using coconut oil for your skin, use organic, unrefined, cold pressed, extra virgin oil so that you can avoid skin irritations. Note that processed coconut oil contain other ingredients and additives that may cause allergic reactions. Before using coconut oil, make sure you aren’t allergic to it by using a test patch. Some people break out with acne after using coconut oil so first test to see if it is okay for your skin. Likewise, use raw honey not the processed one for best results.
