I don't want to be countering what I've just done!

No sure about what you mean 'countering what I've just done'?? Avocado is moisturizing, cucumber is moisturizing, olive oil is moisturizing, so I don't understand? Oils will dissolve oils so you can use the olive oil to dissolve the trapped oils and dirt in your pores and not leave your skin dry.

can you really see gunk that comes out of your skin?

Definitely! Why not give it a try? jojoba oil/castor oil or sweet almond oil/castor or olive oil on your face (whatever you got in the cupboard)... massage for 20/30 minutes while you watch tv. Witchhazel distillate and rosewater toner 40%/60%. You can see how dark the cotton pad gets when you wipe it off. The toner is great too... no chemicals. You can get a bottle of witchhazel and a bottle of rosewater with glycerin at walmart. Minimal investment required.
