How do you girls do this. I mixed up olive oil, castor oil and avocod oil, but it takes forever to get the makup off. Do you girls take the makup offf first with soemthing else? Also what is the best oil of olay cleanser for mature skin??

Guess who's not so oily anymore ?

Oil cleansing ?

i don't think it takes much time to take the makeup off, at least no more than when using another makeup remover. my little trick is to wet some cotton with warm water then apply on it some sweet almond oil and wash my skin with that. it removes well any eye makeup, even my mascara which i find a bit hard to remove. and if i used too much oil, i will use some makeup remover after to remove the excess oil.

Thanks Aude! You might also try increasing the amount of castor oil you're using. For me, the castor oil is the oil that actually cleanses the best, the others are more for moisturizing. Try a 50/25/25 split.

really ? that's interesting, i never think of using castor oil mixed with other oils, it's so thick in comparison !

Make sure to wet both your face, and the cloth that you're going to remove your makeup with. If you don't wet it, the cloth absorbs the oils, so there's not much left on the surface to wipe the makeup with!

Mixing at home can be great, but time consuming, and your blend may not always be accurate. Thus I'd recommend going with a cleansing oil that comes nicely pre-packaged for you. I like LORAC Oil Makeup Remover and the Shu Uemura Cleansing Oils. With both of these you start massaging the oil into the skin with your fingers(I can use the LORAC one on my eyes too, but Shu's stings a little on the eyes so I use a seperate eye makeup remover) while the skin is still dry. After massaging for a few seconds, dampen your hands with a little bit of water and massage again. Then use a wet wash cloth to wipe it all off. Follow with an alcohol free toning lotion to remove any left over oil and to restore your skins PH balance.

The great thing about cleansing oils is that they are so effective at breaking down any kind of makeup, even thick theatrical cake makeup. Just like with your dish soap (you'll notice the most effective ones on grease contain orange oil), a lighter weight oil breaks down a heavier weight oil. They work on all skin types and never over dry the surface of the skin!
