var date = new Date(); // Date you want, here I got the current date and time
date.setDate(date.getDate()-1);

getDate() will give you the date, then reduce it by 1 and using setDate() you can replace date again.

var today = new Date();

var yesterday = new Date(today.getTime() - (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)); //(hours * minutes * seconds * milliseconds)

console.log(yesterday);

 var now = new Date();
 console.log(now);

 var yesterday = new Date(now - 86400000);
 console.log(yesterday);

 /* In a Decrement Loop*/
 for(var i=100;i>0;i--){
    console.log(new Date(now - i*86400000));
 }
