A member asked:
I started applying organic coconut oil as nighttime cream all over face. will it break me out (i have clear skin) or should i apply then wash it off?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Coconut oil: Why are you doing this? what kind of skin issues do you have? are there other medications or products you apply to the skin. The general rule is that if you leave a cream on the skin too long, it may block the hair follicles and sebaceous glands and cause acne breakout.
