Coconut oil and honey for acne

Coconut oil (extra virgin coconut oils) is unsuitable for all skin types. It can also aggravate acne. It has an anti-inflammatory property. It can be beneficial in treating inflammatory conditions such as psoriasis or atopic dermatitis.

Massage your face with a teaspoon of extra-virgin or cold-pressed coconut oil and honey. Later, wash it off.

Tea Tree Oil and Honey for Acne

Acne with Green Tea and Honey
