    Default Oil Cleansing Method Continued

    Let's continue the previous thread.

    http://nappturality.com/forum/showthread.php?t=121512

    I have those small white heads on my nose and chin. Did anyone use the OCM to clear those up? How long did it take before they were completely gone?

    I started alternating between using the rest of my sulfate-y salicylic acid face wash and oil cleansing. I already see a huuuuge difference in my skin.

    I just started the OCM today. I have bee struggling w/ blemished skin for the past 6 years and am tired of it. So here is my new regimen:

    Wash makeup off skin *as soon as I get home*
    Wash w/ oil mix consisting of 70% castor oil and 30% jojoba.
    Moisturize w/ shea butter and apply AMBI.

    Morning-

    Repeat above regimen
    Use lemon juice for toner.



    I'm also going to replace my washcloths and pillowcases a lot more frequently, like every other day.

    Yes I use the OCM and my skin looks good. I did have a bout where my skin got worse before it got better. I used nothing but virgin coconut oil. I think imma try out some different oils. I remember that I use to have a hereitary line under my eyes and now they have diminished. It also made my skin feel softer and tighter.
    Mango Smoothie...try one.

    Tried OCM with a mixture of castor oil and coconut oil this morning. I like this mixture so far.

    ^^Lasted a week for me. Make sure you are steaming the oils out of ur skin well. Also i was missing the key ingredient, castor oil. I oil cleanse every other 2 or 3 days. What mixture of oils do u use?

    I'll admit that I haven't been doing it regularly. I'm going to try to OCM every other night. Right now I'm using 25% castor oil and 75% sunflower oil. I'll also try to change the wash cloth as often as possible.
