Pinterest Week 3: Coconut Oil Facial Cleanser

So I had to use this one for a while before I found out if it works or not. And I like it! Steaming your face feels awesome but you can feel the oil working it's magic too. Here is the original post:

Since I work at a factory, I get a lot of dirt on my face so I use baking soda as a scrub beforehand. And when I get out of the shower, I use apple cider vinegar as a toner and I put more (yes, MORE) coconut oil on to prevent dryness. Since the weather has dropped so drastically here in Iowa, it's gotten really dry really fast. Which sucks, but...what are ya gonna do, right? So I'm thinking coconut oil body butter is in order for next week. 

Now, the vinegar and added oil and baking soda might make a difference. You can try whatever you want for your different skin needs. Nobody's the same, ya know.

Lastly, I would like to say that usually my face is pretty oily. I normally feel the need to wash my face every day because it feels so gross in the morning. With the oil regimen, I don't feel that icky feeling the next day. Which is great when you have to be to work at 6am til 4pm and you just want to snuggle in bed for five more minutes...
