I have oily skin. Experts have since advised me to avoid oily or fatty foods, and stay away from applying oily formulations on my skin. I'd say that depends on the type of oil.
Ever since I started applying coconut oil on my face daily, I no longer experience acne breakouts. No kidding. In fact, it is when I sometimes forget to apply a generous amount on my face that I tend to develop a pimple or two a few days later.
I believe that's because CNO contains an abundance of medium chain triglycerides (MCT). MCTs are efficient in protecting your skin, especially your face, from infection-causing microorganisms. These extremely beneficial fat molecules help maintain a skin environment that's deadly to acne-causing microbes, for one.
The small molecular structure of MCTs allow them to penetrate your skin easily. This effectively unclogs your pores of grime and dirt that contribute a lot to developing pimples. Coconut oil for acne infection actually goes like this.
Skin care oils penetrate your skin through the pores. It should cleanse the pores and allow your body to excrete waste. During discharging, the pores sometimes get clogged which usually creates pimples or some other type of skin infection. Here's what CNO does so well which can't be said of many skin care products on the market. Coconut oil pierces the pores and dissolves the obstructing waste. Let me prove it to you.
Chew a stick of gum. Then take about a teaspoon of coconut oil. As you continue to chew, the gum would melt in your mouth. This is pretty much what happens to your clogged pores.
Now most commercial oil formulations can't do this penetrating thing. Because these products primarily use long chain triglyceride (LCT) oils. LCTs are larger than coconut oil's plentiful MCTs. As a result, these bigger fatty acids can't enter your skin effectively.
And what's more ineffective than LCT oil formulations. It's when manufacturers use processed LCT oils to begin with. Not only are these longer fat molecules more inefficient. They can even put your health at risk.
