Oil cleansing method.

Thought I would share this. I saw this on pinterest about a week ago and decided I would give it a try. I have only been doing for 4 days and I CANNOT believe the results I have had. My face looks much clearer, and the pimples I did have are just about gone. Never thought that I could use oil to clean my face, but apparently it does work. I have to tweak the formula a bit since I think I need less castor oil and more olive oil, but I can't believe the results. Thought I would share.

Re: Oil cleansing method.

I just bought cleansing oil from Bobby Brown but I think I'm going to give this a try. Where do you even find caster oil?

Re: Oil cleansing method.

Its in the section of the store with the laxatives...its usually on the bottom shelf. I got mine at Stop and Shop. They didn't have any big bottles (just a small one) but I am thinking a little will go a long way and I already had the olive oil. Need to tweak the recipe a little but so far its working great.

This is another great website that talks more about the process.

Re: Oil cleansing method.

Doesn't using olive oil to wash your face get expensive?
We go through it like crazy in the kitchen
(2 kinds), I can't imagine buyng a 3rd bottle for the bathroom.

It is good for your skin & hair though. I remember my friend loving a lotion witholive oil in it form L'occitane, and that was pricey too.

I think this does somewhat make sense. Oil definitely removes makeup, esepcially waterproof eye makeup, and I have noticed that as I get older, oilier/creamier cleansers are better, like cold cream.

Re: Oil cleansing method.

Interesting!

Thanks for sharing. I also read the "no shampoo" article and find it intriguing.

Re: Oil cleansing method.

I think. . .I am going to try the no shampoo thing!!

Re: Oil cleansing method.

my nail place does my pedicures with a lotion with olive oil..hmm..

Re: Oil cleansing method.

WOW! thank you for sharing, I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds fascinating!

I still have castor oil from when I was prego (it was a natural induction method lol). You can find it in any pharmacy/vitamin store.

it suks baking soda is going to destroy the keratin in my hair, otherwise I'd totally do the baking soda wash!

Re: Oil cleansing method.

Would baby oil work? That would be less expensive than olive oil

Re: Oil cleansing method.

Thanks for sharing! I may have to give this a try. Do you think it helps wrinkles?

Re: Oil cleansing method.

This is very interesting. So you used this as a cleanser instead of soap? your skin wasn't left oily?? I know the article says no but it's hard to believe. I think I might try this.

Re: Oil cleansing method.

This sounds very interesting! I may try it. Thanks!

Re: Oil cleansing method.

Hmm this does sound interesting. I think I'm going to give it a try. I'm a little scared, but it sounds good

Re: Oil cleansing method.

I DID IT!

OMG I love my skin today! I'm sure it only gets better the more you do it!

I thought my face would be really oily, but its actually just soft, soooo soft! The tiny pimples I had at my chin are shrinking!

Re: Oil cleansing method.

Ok so I tried it tonight and so far so good.

Do you only do it once a day or twice (morning & night)?
ETA***** nevermind I found it at the bottom that she did it only at night.


Thanks!

Re: Oil cleansing method.

I tried it and my regularly oily skin did come out softer, and not too oily. The only thing I didnt like was smelling the olive oil on my face. I smelled like food.

Re: Oil cleansing method.

ok..now after reading everyones reviews..I think I am going to try this. I have oily skin so I hope it helps. I will buy the stuff tonight and give it a try.
