Skin Care Tip: Cleansing with oil

submitted by Anonymous

Tip description / details:
Clogged pores? Congested skin? Breakouts? Blackheads? Look no further. Throw out your cleansers and moisturizers and get yourself some coldpressed oils. Basically, oil dissolves oil. So, if your skin is overproducing sebum, stop using harsh detergents and stripping your skin, it'll just make it produce more oil. The following method has helped normalize my congested, acne prone skin: Cleansing: Massage jojoba oil (yes, on top of your makeup and everything) into your skin, dissolving all makeup and excess sebum. Give yourself a nice facial massage for a few minutes, then drape a washcloth dipped in hot water over your face, leave to cool for a bit, and simply wipe away all the dirt and oil. You can use extra virgin oil as well, or a mix of either oils and a bit of castor oil (really draws out those blackheads, but don't use too much). Now, your face is clean without being stripped, and if you don't feel dry or tight, skip any more moisture. If you do feel a bit dry, simply put on a few drops of jojoba oil. Presto!

Ingredients:
Jojoba oil or extra virgin olive oil Castor oil (optional)

How to prepare:
Simply use a bit straight from the bottle, or make your own mix in a bottle.

How to use:
Smooth on, massage in, wipe off.

Results (observed by submitter):
Normalized skin, got rid of most blackheads and acne.

Costs involved:
