    I think gentle cream cleansers or gentle foamy cleansers are the best way to clean oily skin. Avoid using over the counter gel cleansers on oily skin, as these can deplete and stress out your skin.

    If we apply coconut oil on our face, then may it cause hair growth on the face?

    No. Coconut does help with hair growth if you apply it e.g. on your eyebrows, eyelashes, or scalp, but it will not cause hair growth in places where it's not supposed to happen.

    I heard coconut oil cause acne . Is that true? I have very oily skin and I have dark marks, how can I get rid of them?

    Coconut oil works differently on different skin types. You should be careful with it because it specifically has a high potential of clogging your pores, producing more pimples. If you have oily skin, I recommend double cleansing, where you wash your face with an oil (either a cleansing oil or just plain olive oil) and then a water-based cleanser. Even though your face is oily, the cleansing oils will actually fight it. As for dark marks, they're probably hyperpigmentation. Try some spot treatments or serums.

    When mixing water with the olive oil, do I use hot or cold water?

    It depends on what your body can handle. It would be preferable if you use a medium-range level of water (not too hot or too cold), as it will help clean your pores.
