The Oil Cleansing Method is a system for cleaning a human face using oils. Beginners often start out with mixture of half extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) and half castor oil (CO). Once experience is gained, the mixture can be tweaked based on skin type and personal preference. Other oils that are commonly used are jojoba oil and coconut oil.
The oil is rubbed into skin for approx. 2 min. Next, a warm, damp washcloth is draped over face until it cools. The cooled washcloth is then used to wipe off excess oil. Continue wiping until the oil is gone. If face feels tight, one or two drops of EVOO or another oil of your choice may be used to moisturize.
Many users have experienced fewer blackheads, softer skin, and less acne.
