Coconut oil generally cares for the skin

Coconut oil generally strengthens the skin [web11].

"Coconut oil stimulates collagen regeneration. Collagen is an important protein to reduce wrinkles. Its fibrous structure binds the tissues and is providing elasticity and resilience to the skin." [web12]

"Coconut oil can safely be used as a substitute for almost all common skin creams and ointments." [Web04]

(original German:
"Kokosöl regt die Neubildung von Kollagen an. Kollagen ist ein wichtiges Protein, um Falten zu vermindern. Mit seiner faserigen Struktur verbindet es das Gewebe und sorgt so für Elastizität und Spannkraft der Haut." [web12]

"Kokosöl kann bedenkenlos als Ersatz für fast alle gängigen Hautcremes und Salben aufgetragen werden." [web04])

Coconut oil nourishing and healing the skin

Coconut oil
-- stores moisture in the skin, does NOT dry out the skin [web12]
-- heals the wrinkles [web12]
-- regenerates and softens hardened skin, sometimes the process is reaching even a total healing [web12]
-- is smoothing the skin: "It gives the skin a silky glow and is smoothing also the structure." [web12].


Warm coconut oil against dandruff and dry skin - rub in warm
[web03]

-- Hypothyroidism provokes a slowed metabolism, skin becomes dry, flaky and itchy
-- Coconut oil moisturizes, itching and dryness are reduced, the healthy skin is restored
-- Gently heat the coconut oil daily (holding it in your hands) and gently massage into the skin for 10 minutes [web03].


Coconut oil heals acne

Lubricate coconut oil twice a day for acne - the effect comes after 3 weeks

Coconut oil is reducing acne even building new healthy skin. Quote of a reader [web10 - Melanie Eckert]:

"Hi,
Concerning coconut oil as a facial care, I can tell you that for a few weeks every day in the morning and in the evening I creamed my face with it and I have a combination skin prone to pimples and redness ... ..
Since about one week I have noticed that my skin has less red veins and I also do not get pimples so fast any more - especially during menstruation this was very striking, but now not anymore" [web10 - Melanie Eckert]:

(original German:
"Hi.
Zum Thema Kokosöl als Gesichtspflege kann ich dir sagen, dass ich seit ein paar Wochen jeden Tag morgens und abends mein Gesicht damit eincreme und ich habe eine zu Pickeln und Rötungen neigende Mischhaut…..
Seit ca einer Woche habe ich bemerkt, dass meine haut weniger rote Äderchen hat und ich auch nicht mehr so schnell Pickel bekomme- besonders in der Periode war das bei mir auffällig, aber jetzt nicht mehr" [web10 - Melanie Eckert])

Coconut oil mask against acne 5-10 minutes 2x per week, then shower and apply an anti pimple water

"I make a coconut oil mask twice a week, so I spread the oil all over my face & let it take 5-10 minutes, after that I mostly take a shower & 'use an antiperspirant toner!" And after this I use an anti pimple face water. Since the beginning of this treatment I have really less pimples than before. This you should absolutely try out (before I also had really dry facial skin, especially in winter & that has also disappeared)" [web10 - reader voice Marinaleinchen]

(original German: "Ich mache mir 2x in der Woche eine Kokosölmaske, also ich verteile das Öl aufs ganze Gesicht &‘ lasse es 5-10Minuten drauf danach gehe ich meistens duschen &‘ verwende noch ein Antipickel-Gesichtswasser! Seit dem ich das mache, habe ich deutlich weniger Pickel als vorher. Solltest du deshalb auch unbedingt mal ausprobieren! (Hatte auch vorher recht trockene Gesichtshaut, besonders im Winter &‘ das ist auch verschwunden)" [web10 - Leserstimme Marinaleinchen])

Coconut oil + tea tree oil against acne - coconut oil for mixed skin - and don't use towels

from: coconut oil - the all-rounder: https://www.the-inspiring-life.com/2017/01/kokosoel-der-alleskoenner.html

Quotation of a reader [web10 - Sandra F.]:

"I had a skin only causing problems and constantly pimples, because I have a combination skin with oily and dry parts and therefore I never found a suitable product. Either the care was too less moisturizing or it was just too oily ... Meanwhile, I use ONLY coconut oil in combination with tea tree oil from the pharmacy, eliminating my make up from my face with coconut oil, cleaning my face daily with it (morning / evening) and have really experienced a true miracle! Also a second idea: I no longer use a towel, but only large cotton pads! Towels are already after 2x use the purest bacterial sputum and toxic for pimple skin! Also: do not let the water at the end of the cleaning dry on the skin (there will be limescale deposits blocking the pores), but dab it with a handkerchief and give a fingertip size of coconut oil on your face to moisturise! That's it, your miracle cure !!" [web10 - Sandra F.]

(original German: "Ich hatte eine Problemhaut und ständig Pickel, da ich eine Mischhaut mit öligen und trockenen Partien habe und deswegen nie ein passendes Produkt gefunden habe. Entweder war die Pflege zu wenig feuchtigkeitspendend oder eben zu ölig…Mittlerweile benutze ich NUR noch Kokosöl in Kombination mit Teebaumöl aus der Apotheke, schminke mein Gesicht ab von Makeup und reinige es täglich (morgens/abends) und habe wirklich ein wahres Wunder erlebt!!! Zudem noch ein zweiter Tipp: ich benutze kein Handtuch mehr, sondern nur noch grosse Wattepads! Handtücher sind bereits nach 2x benutzen die reinste Bakterienschleuder und toxisch für Pickelhaut! Zudem: lass das Wasser am Schluss der Reinigung nicht auf der Haut trocken (Kalk lagert sich ab und verstopft die Poren), sondern tupfe es mit einem Taschentuch ab und gib eine Fingerspitzengrösse vom Kokosöl auf dein Gesicht zur Feuchtigkeitsspende! Et voila, dein Wundermittel!!" [web10 - Sandra F.])

(original German: "Ich nutze Kokosöl als Ersatz für Rasierschaum. Es pflegt die Haut super und man muss diese später auch nicht mehr eincremen."  [web10 - Sarah])

[Experiment: This style of shaving is unfortunately a bit expensive. It is better to use liquid soap for shaving, and then use some coconut oil as an after-shave].
