Let’s first get down to understanding why you get acne and what precisely cause you to have acne breakout. Because if you don’t know these, you won’t know what type of coconut oil to choose for best acne treatment.
When excessive toxins circulate in your bloodstream, your natural skin oils (sebum) will secrete profusely, skin cells will die and shed faster clogging your pores, followed by bacterial infection and result in pimples popping up from your skin like moles popping up from their holes.
I know, it looks very bad on you with an acned face. But you can put a stop to those causes and use coconut oil to treat your acne no matter how severe your acne is. With the use of this tropical oil, you can:
– boost your liver function so that your liver can effectively purify your blood of toxins as well as deactivate the androgenic hormones that stimulate excessive secretion of sebum.
– calm down your sebum production when you apply the oil topically since the fatty acids in the oil mimic those in sebum.
– cast off dead skin cells to unclog your blocked pores.
– stop bacterial overgrowth to restore the balance of good and bad bacteria in your body.
– stimulate your bowel movement so that the toxic substances in the waste won’t get stuck in your gut and absorbed back into your body to aggravate your acne.
In a nutshell, coconut oil helps to treat acne by decreasing your toxic buildup and sebum secretion, hence making your skin less oily and acne-prone.
But not all types of coconut oil are best for acne treatment. This is because the key to an effective acne treatment with coconut oil relies greatly on its quantity of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), which means, the more MCFAs the oil holds, the more effective will be the acne treatment.
Since virgin coconut oil holds the greatest amount of MCFAs in it, it offers the best treatment for acne. You won’t get the best result with RBD, fractionated, or any other types of this tropical oil.
And for better-than-best result, choose only organic virgin coconut oil for acne treatment. This is because pesticides and chemicals in non-organic coconut oil can enter your body via your skin or mouth and then intoxicate your body to make your acne worse.
Last but not least, as it is very detoxifying, virgin coconut oil may draw more toxins up to the surface of your skin and thus, cause a severe acne breakout in the beginning before it eventually helps your skin to clear and heal.
So, it’s best to learn more about using the tropical oil for acne treatment before you begin with the first drop of it.
