The Oil Cleansing Method is a gentle way of cleanser that works well for all skin types, even for oily skin. It dissolves dirt and makeup without stripping the skin. Using cleansers that contain drying soap and detergents strips the skin of natural oils. If you have oily skin this might sound like a benefit but it’s not. As you strip the skin, it stimulates oil production. Your skin knows it needs oil to protect itself so when you strip the natural oils away it goes into overdrive to produce more. Essentially your skin is overreacting making it even more oily that it would otherwise be. And anyone with dry skin knows that drying it out just makes the problem worse!
HOW DO YOU WASH WITH OIL?
First, dampen your skin with a bit of water. Wet skin is permeable skin, meaning the oil you apply will better penetrate your skin cells.
Use a few drops of our Luscious Facial Cleansing Oil, and massage the skin in upward strokes, making sure to cover all areas of the face."
"We recommend using a damp wash cloth, towel or cotton pads to remove your oil cleanser [*see below]. This ensures all of the oil is gently removed from your skin. If oil is left behind after cleansing, you will not feel clean and clarified. Remove all of your oil cleanser from the skin before applying remaining skincare products. Oil cleansing can be done twice daily for best results (morning and night)."
