Oil Cleansing Method

Okay, I know this sounds utterly insane, but just bear with me. I've seen people talking about the Oil Cleansing Method, shortened to OCM. Cleaning your face with oil sounds completely backward. However, as I researched it, I discovered that some woman swear by it. And once I read the article on it, the OCM began to make perfect sense.

Most skin care products strip the skin of oil, both good and bad. In response your body goes into overdrive producing too much oil to make up for what was washed away. No oil on your skin means dry patches. And the excess of oil will clog your pores beneath the dry patches.

Given the logic of it, I decided it was worth a try. The oils are inexpensive and if it fails, I can simply cross it off my list of methods to achieve clear skin. So while I was out today, I purchased castor oil, which is the staple of the oil mixture. For my second oil, I got canola. Though you can use practically any fruit/vegetable based oil. Now the ratio of these oils has to do with your skin type. I used 25% Castor to 75% Canola. A teaspoon total, since I was just testing it out. So 1/4 teaspoon castor and 3/4 teaspoon canola.

I followed the directions from the article, which are super easy. It felt amazing to spend time massaging the oil into my skin. Not as gross as I was anticipating. After I was done, I inspected my skin in the mirror. So much clearer! Anyone that has seen me in person without makeup knows I have issues with acne. Over half of my blackheads were gone. My pores appeared smaller. I did not have any dry patches. And my skin was just generally softer. I was amazed. Still am!

I seriously suggest you try this if you have any issues with your skin. Not only is it the best thing I've ever used, its all natural. And inexpensive. I got both oils at Walmart in small bottles since you don't use much. Cost me less than five dollars.
