00:00So the next comment is, I have normal skin
00:02and use coconut oil as my moisturizer.
00:05So as much as we love coconut oil, it's very popular.
00:08I really don't recommend using it on the face.
00:11So coconut oil is quite comedogenic,
00:13and that means that it can clog your pores.
00:15If you're using coconut oil, it's
00:16OK to use it on the body.
00:17It's OK to use it on the body for those with eczema,
00:19because it's a slight antiseptic.
00:21However, on the face, absolutely not.
00:23When patients come into the office
00:25and they have a new onset of blackheads and whiteheads,
00:27my first question is, are you using coconut oil?
00:30And the answer is often yes.
