rubbing coconut oil on face

i had no idea there was a coconut oil forum! recently, i purchased Garden of Life Extra-Virgin coconut oil to apply topically to whiteheads and eczema. just wondering if this is a good idea. my main problem is that i have had acne, sometimes moderate, sometimes severe and am looking for other reasons why all OTC's and prescriptions have failed. right now, i have formulated this new theory about my skin...that when i dry it out from using topicals/overzealous washing, it pinches off my pores and my natural oils have nowhere to go. it gets trapped underneath my skin and forms a plug (whitehead). i was hoping that coconut oil will rehydrate my skin in addition to diluting this plug so that it can be pushed out.

any thoughts on this method are greatly appreciated!

thanks!
