Guest guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 Whatever would make you associate getting acne with coconut oil? Bad press from people of ill intention?

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 I associated coconut oil with acne because when I started eating tons of olive oil one time in the past (before learning about coconut oil), I got the same problem. I quit the olive oil intake and it stopped. I realize olive oil is mainly monounsaturated oil and coconut oil is saturated but both are fatty acids nonetheless. That's where the association came from. No, it's not from anything I read or heard. Just from experience. I have never been a low fat, or a margerine type, but I have never been taking oil by multiple tablespoons either. T > Whatever would make you associate getting acne with coconut > oil?

My skin has worsened a little recently but I'm not sure whether it's from putting VCO on my face occasionally. I don't usually use any moisturizer as I've always been prone to acne. Washing with VCO-based cleanser leaves my skin feeling great but I've also been getting more clogged pores. It may be for some other reason though.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 Thank you everyone for the responses. I guess some of us have the oily skin and a little extra oil can cause acne. I lowered my coconut oil intake from 3TBS to 1TBS and now my skin erruptions hsave stopped and the general bumpy feeling on my face is getting better too. I am still applying some VCO to my arms and legs (I guess I am oily/dry type; my face is normally oily, but the rest of my body is pretty dry.) I believe I am still getting the benefits from the VCO (energy wise) so, so far so good. Tomo > When I eat peanuts, it gives me pimples.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 There are many causes of acne(I'm an esthetician). Don't attribute a break out to coconut oil. If anything, I believe it will help acne. This time of year I caution people to make sure they have their humidifiers running because the air is quite dry even at winter winds down(I've found dry air contributes to acne formation). Drink half your weight in ounces of water. Cleanse at least once a day at bedtime. Eat healthful foods. Reduce exposure to toxins. Acne will improve. Do not pick at your skin-it will only worsen acne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
