Hello beauties! Check out 5 coconut oil face mask recipes you can make for radiant skin!

Coconut oil is an amazing ingredient for your skin and hair! A couple of years ago, I shared some of my favorite and easy coconut oil hair mask recipes which you guys loved so much! Coconut oil is a very nourishing hair mask ingredient! Now I haven’t really been using coconut oil on my face, except to do the Oil Cleansing Method. But using it as a face mask is actually a great way for people of ALL skin types to get better skin naturally!

Yes, even people with oily or acne prone skin can benefit from a coconut oil face mask! Don’t worry about it clogging your pores because you’ll be removing it off your face after some time! That’s the beauty of a face mask – it provides deep intense treatment for a short period of time instead of sitting on your face for long. People with oily or acne prone skin shouldn’t moisturize their faces with coconut oil but can use it as a face mask ingredient or for Oil Cleansing!

Okay without further ranting, let’s check out 5 amazing coconut oil face mask recipes!
