Coconut oil to remove makeup? Know what dermatologist suggests

Many skin influencers and Bollywood divas swear by coconut oil for its numerous and amazing skin benefits.

Recently, dermatologist Dr Geetika Mittal Gupta shared a clip of Actress Priyanka Chopra where she is talking about how she uses organic coconut oil to remove her makeup which also leaves her skin moisturised.

Taking this forward, the expert suggests that coconut oil is comedogenic which means it has the potential to clog pores but it is not recommended for all skin types. Coconut oil has antibacterial properties which help the skin to calm active breakouts and leave skin clear and soft.

However, to avoid skin breakouts it is recommended to use a gentle cleanser to wash your face after using coconut oil as a makeup remover.
