Back to oil cleansing!

[ohiomom0503]

I'd been doing OCM for a few weeks, and I liked the results almost immediately! But the other day, for some unknown reason, I went on a whim and bought the clinique 3 step system...I used to use it in college and liked my skin then! So, I thought why not! Now I know why not! I'd use it and within a few hours I was oily and my makeup is slidding off. At least with OCM my skin didn't get greasy and my makeup lasted throughout the day! So, back to my oils. Never would have imagined in a million years that I would be cleaning my face with oil!

What kind of oil are you using?

I used castor oil, extra virgin olive oil, a bit of jojoba and grapesee, and a few drops of tea tree. I measured mine out in tablespoons and put it in an oil of olay pump bottle(after I washed the rest of the OOO down the drain). I think over all it's like 7 tbs Castor oil, 5 tbs olive oil, 1 tbs each of jojoba and grapeseed oils, and a few drops of the tea tree. Works for me. My mom wants me to make her up a batch and for her I think I'll start with a 50/50 ratio of the CO and EVOO and add extra EVOO if it leaves her a bit dry...of course I'll add in the jojoba and grapeseed oils! Then I use a bit of grapeseed/jojoba mixed as a moisturizer.

Good idea to mix the oils before hand and then put it in a pump. Not a bad idea at all. Usually in the morning I'm rushed so I can't imagine mixing them everyday, but if it's already in a pump bottle, for sure I would use it. Good suggestion I'll defenitely give it a go!

The OCM sounds like something I need to try. My face is soooo oily.

Fancl (a Japanese brand) Micro Cleansing Oil works great. It feels like oily gel when you massage it on your face, but washes off clean. No residue! I really like this and have been faithfully using it. It gets rid of my waterproof sunblock, without any stinging or oily feel to it.
