please help :)Does cocoa butter treat acne?
I think cocoa butter might be a bit heavy for acne-prone skin; a good alternative to conventional blemish cream is either aloe vera gel or calamine lotion. The aloe vera gel will reduce redness and inflamation; the calamine lotion will dry out and shrink pimples.Does cocoa butter treat acne?
Cocoa butter is very heavy. It will clog up your pores and cause your skin to break out more, eventually. However, it is good for the rest of the body. It's a great moisturizer.





If your skin is blotchy from the sun, you have damaged it. Continuous exposure to the UVA and UVB rays are harmful to your skin and linked to skin cancer as well as other growths. In addition your skin will age faster, will have more age spots as you grow older, and generally make you look like a prune in your middle years and up.





Always use a bit of sunblock with an SPF of at least 15, applied 1/2 an hour before exposure to the sun.
no, its too heavy and will probably irritate the skin and make it worse


try aloe vera-put it in the fridge and try it in the morning





hope this helps
oh my gosh, no. cocoa butter will clog your pores. wash your face now! you should use a sensitive skin cleanser like cetaphil lotion, apply a noncomedogenic acne treatment to the spots (you can find these at the local pharmacy). another good tool is the xeno, which has been proven to zap zits and heal them. the cost is expensive (about 170.00) but might be worth the investment (also sold at CVS pharmacy). a good dermatologist can prescribe a cream for acne or an antibiotic, depending on the severity. no more cocoa butter!
dont use that on ur face, its way too greasy, its going to clog your pores and make u break out!!
I'm not sure about cocoa butter, but i know that toothpaste does! just put a THIN coat of it on a pimple, and leave it on over night and it drys up pimples! Also, Visine (the stuff for eyes) temporarily taked the redness out of a pimple.
cocoa butter will make you break out! Its way too heavy to go on your face! If you just put it on you wouldnt notice anything yet. Its good for mosturizing skin and for stretch marks...NOT acne!
Oh god no, it will clog the pores and make it worse!! Try Benzoyl Peroxide, or a dab of rubbing alcohol to dry it out, good luck
Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao) - the fat of the cocoa bean. Contains natural antioxidants that prevent rancidity and is extremely emollient for the skin. It's an excellent moisturizer that melts at body temperature and is commonly used to prevent chapped or dry skin, stretch marks, skin irritations and wrinkles. It is known to improve skin flexibility while leaving the skin feeling soft and silky smooth.


so i think it can.
