How To Naturally Clean Your Face – The Oil Cleansing Method.

I just have to post this one out so I won’t forget. I will be trying out this skin care routine. In fact, I already bought a small bottle of pure olive oil yesterday.

How to Use the Oil Cleansing Method to Wash Your Face

1. Create your oil mixture based on the needs of your skin. You can use either olive oil or sunflower oil as your base oil, and then you add castor oil to it.

The ratio of the oils depends on your skin type.
* For dry skin – use 1 part castor oil to 9 parts olive or sunflower oil.
* For normal or combination skin – use 2 parts castor oil to 8 parts olive or sunflower oil.
* For oily skin – use 3 parts castor oil to 7 parts olive or sunflower oil.

You can adjust your oil mixture as needed . The castor oil is used for cleansing, but may also be drying to your skin, so if you notice that your skin is getting dry and tight, you can cut back on the amount of castor oil in your mix. Or, if you feel like your skin is breaking out and over oily, try increasing the amount of castor oil. You might have to do a little trial and error to see what works best for your skin type.

2. Before bed, pour a little bit of your oil mixture in your palm and then gently massage it into your face. Then take a hot and steaming washcloth and place it over your face until it cools, and repeat this a few times. The steam from the washcloth helps to dissolve the oil and pull impurities out of your skin.

Then gently rub your fact with the washcloth to exfoliate a bit, and pat dry with a towel.

3. Also, in the morning, you can “wash” your face by just placing a hot and steaming washcloth over your face(without rubbing the oil mixture in) and repeating a few times. You can also use this to cleanse your face in the evenings on the days that you don’t use the oil mixture.
