1. Clean your face. Cosmetic experts know this procedure as oil cleansing and it comes with many benefits. Although it may sound a little bit odd, oil can aid your efforts to clean your face. Once you are finished your skin will be soft and attractive.
2. Oil pulling. Have you used coconut oil for this purpose? Oil pulling is an old technique to cleanse the oral cavity of bacteria. Your day should start with this procedure. Simply swish a teaspoon of coconut oil and swish for about 10 minutes.
Of course, if you feel that you can do it, swish for 20 minutes. Remember that it can be difficult in the beginning, but you will eventually learn how to swish for a long period.
3. Keep your legs smooth. Coconut oil should be a necessary part of your shaving routine. If you want to get soft and smooth legs, massage your legs with a small amount of this oil right before you start shaving your legs.
