Ahahahaha, "honey kills yeast". Obviously the person has never heard of mead.
Also, that really is a misleading article - the studies on the medical effects of honey are actually studies made on MediHoney(TM) which is a brand name for manuka honey - honey collected by bees from flowers of the manuka tree, which is rather similar to tea tree (melaluca) in that it produces antibacterial chemicals as part of its defence mechanism. Your average bee vomit will NOT do what the article claims. In fact, you can probably slather your face with golden syrup, maple syrup, and what have you and "feel" the same effects.
I also love the coconut oil versus mineral oil argument the reporter makes. Of course subjects would find the smell of coconut oil preferable to the odourless mineral oil, and report more positive results. Therre's no way to perform a double-blind trial: you can't mask the smell of coconut oil. The "what woould you rather, something from coconuts or something from the big bad oil industry?" is just laughable.
And damnit, if oatmeal baths were so great for skin breakouts and eczema, you'd probably see more dermatologists recommend it compared to say, pinetarsol.
Acne is, and always will be primarily caused by hormones. There is absolutely no reason why a combination of honey, baking soda, oatmeal and coconut oil will ever change your hormone levels.
