Question by : IS MINERAL OIL BAD FOR YOU OR NOT!?
One site says : However, mineral oil, once applied, prevents the skin from “breathing.” As such, it clogs pores, interferes with your skin’s natural ability to eliminate toxins, and can lead to acne flare ups. Also, it is irritating to the skin and if used for any length of time, your skin can become dependent on it, causing chapping and dryness. Lastly, it can lead to premature aging of the skin. It’s amazing this substance is even allowed in so-called “skin care” products at all.
AND THIS IS THE OTHER SITE ABOUT MINERAL OIL MYTHS : http://thebeautybrains.com/2006/11/28/the-top-5-myths-about-mineral-oil-part-1/
So im confused and which site is true THANK YOU XD

Personally I try to avoid products with mineral oil because it always seems to break me out. I think it probably does clog your pores.

Mineral oil or baby oil can cause acne if used on the face or other acne prone area. I am not sure about the other stuff.
