The 6 Best Coconut Oil Face Mask Recipes

When you’re doing all you can to fight wrinkles, it’s very easy to put other concerns like oily skin and acne on the back burner. But these common issues don’t have to be overlooked. You can actually fight wrinkles and prevent acne—along with a whole host of other skin concerns—all at the same time. “How is this possible?” you ask. Through the power of the coconut oil face mask.

Coconut oil is naturally antibacterial and antifungal which means that it can get rid of the dirt and grime that cause breakouts...all without harsh chemicals. Keep in mind that coconut oil can clog pores, so be sure to wash your face after using these masks.

Coconut oil is also an excellent moisturizer because it is able to penetrate deeper into your skin thanks to its chemical composition and behavior. When you combine the healing power of coconut oil with other natural ingredients, you’ve got a formula for younger-looking, radiant skin. Here are the top 6 coconut oil face mask recipes to get you started to fight wrinkles, aging, acne, blackheads, and dry skin all at once.

Your skin will feel dry (as in oil-free) and look radiant when you’re done.
