So what do you recommend that is the best cooking oil for acne? I heard olive oil was good but not if you heat it too much and I also heard coconut oil is the best.. I'm confused can anyone offer any advice?

Coconut oil, most definitely. It isn't damaged by the heat, and it's amazing for the body in so many ways.

Grape seed oil may be another for you to look into. I know it's a good one for cooking at high heats but I'm not sure of specific health benefits or how it relates to acne, if at all, sorry (which is why I just suggest it-in case you want to look into it further). :)

Make sure it's a fresh, good quality oil in a dark bottle that has not been stored in bright light and heat and that you store it in the fridge. It, like most of the other oils sold in supermarkets, are not stable and prone to rancidity. But if it's good quality, then it's a source of linoleic acid which is a very important part of sebum that functions as it should (and it has many functions). And people prone to acne and other skin issues have been found to be deficient in it. Try it topically.

But a safer choice for cooking is coconut oil. Or avocado, but it's expensive.

Thanks for all the information guys! Alternativista do you know what is the difference between refined and unrefined coconut oil?
