Over the last several months I have been reading several different blogs that I enjoy. A common topic between a couple is "Oil Cleansing" I was very skeptical. Why would oil clean my face. I bet your thinking the same thing. Well I will try almost everything at least once. So tonight I "Oil Cleansed". So far my face very soft and smooth. Not greasy at all! So this is what I did. I mixed equal parts castor oil and olive oil. Using my finger tips I massaged the oil mixture all over my face. next I took a wash cloth and ran it under HOT water. After ringing the washcloth out I placed the washcloth on my face until it cooled down. I rinsed the washcloth in warm water and then wiped my face off. Viola! I oil cleansed my face. So far so good. I am going to using the Oil Cleansing Method every night for a week at least and check back in with you.
Check back soon!
UPDATE
So I just realized that I didn't explain why you should use the Oil Cleansing Method. Just that I was doing it. Silly me. Can I blame it on the distraction of the cute little boy snuggling on me?
According the chemistry like dissolve like, right? Well what is that wonderful substance that protects out largest organ. You got it! Oil. So what better way to clean the icky oil that has been there all day. With clean fresh oil. Castor oil is a good oil and should at least be one of the oils in your combo. Is is very antibacterial and also cleansing but because of this can also be drying. So that is why you want to mix it with another. Here is a list of oils you can combine it with:
* Jojoba (all skin types, but very desirable for acne-prone skin)
* Sweet almond (all skin types, especially oily)
* Grapeseed (all skin types, especially oily)
* Avocado (dry and aging skin)
* Sunflower Seed (all skin types)
* Olive (all skin types)
* Apricot Kernel (dry, aging, and normal skin)
I did equal parts but that of course is not set in stone. This might change as the week goes on. I encourage you to try and share your experience in a blog comment.
