The Basics of Cleansing with Oil

The Oil Cleansing Method (OCM) is good for both women and men. offers effective deep skin cleansing, skin health enhancement, and an opportunity for de-stressing and relaxation.

Just a small pea size of an oil formula patted over damp skin will provide the necessary lubrication to keep your skin from over-compensating in oil production.
