Acne Treatment No. 4: Coconut Oil
Acne Treatment No. 4: Coconut Oil Plant-based oils have come out of the closet for oily skin. "There is a world of oils that are great for facial skin," says Dr. Day. "You don't have to look for 'oil-free' anymore." Plant-based oils can not only provide soothing, hydrating and calming benefits to acne-prone skin, they can also be antibacterial, she says. The key is to make sure you are using oils that are non-occlusive (do not clog pores) and non-greasy. (In other words, avoid petrolatum and mineral oils!) One of the best oils for blemished skin is the humble and inexpensive coconut oil, says Day, which is both hydrating and anti-inflammatory.

Try: For an at-home natural acne treatment: Mix a drop of coconut oil with equal parts honey, an antiseptic, and aloe, an anti-inflammatory that will also help with pain and itch. Apply to pimples as a spot treatment. Rinse off after an hour.
