How good is it to remove makeup with coconut oil?

Although coconut oil has become popular for its moisturizing and nourishing properties, it is not the best choice for removing makeup, especially if you have skin prone to breakouts or blackheads. Coconut oil is not specifically designed for facial skin and, being comedogenic, can clog pores and contribute to acne formation.

Reasons to avoid coconut oil in your makeup removal routine:

• Pore ​​Clogging: Coconut oil is comedogenic, meaning it can clog pores, trap impurities, and cause acne breakouts.
• Not a suitable cleanser: While coconut oil can dissolve makeup, it does not efficiently remove oil residue, dirt, and pollutants. This leaves the skin exposed to the buildup of impurities, which can cause long-term problems such as breakouts and sensitivity.
• Adverse reactions on sensitive skin: If you have sensitive or reactive skin, coconut oil may cause irritation or worsen conditions such as acne or rosacea.
• Skin barrier imbalance: Constant use of coconut oil can disrupt the skin's natural balance, especially if used on oily or combination skin, as it increases sebum production and can cause dryness in some areas.

What can I use to remove my makeup properly?

Double cleansing is a key technique to keep skin clean and healthy. It involves first using a cleansing oil to remove makeup and excess sebum, followed by a facial cleanser that removes deeper impurities without affecting the skin barrier.
