I am always on a lookout for natural skin care regiments that do not involve expensive creams, chemicals, or pricey procedures.
And just to add to the article you are about to read, there are other oils you can try:
Normal Skin
– Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Jojoba Oil
Dry and Dehydrated
Skin – Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Extra Virgin Coconut Oil.
Oily and Acne Prone Skin
– Jojoba and Grapeseed Oil or Watermelon Seed Oil.
Sensitive Skin – Apricot Kernel Oil and Jojoba Oil.
If you decide to give this skin care method a try, I would love to hear about your results!











I'm a huge fan of the oil cleansing method. I've alwways had super oily skin, and acne for most of my teen years and adult life. It's only through using the OCM and mineral makeup that my skin has cleared up completely 99% of the time.
I tend to use a mix of about 60:40 castor oil to extra virgin olive oil with a splash of tea tree oil mixed in. Works like a charm and gets off every scrap of makeup.

Thank you for sharing, Steph!
I've had problematic skin since my early adult years so I am definitely going to give this method a try.
I've already bought sunflower oil but will add tea tree oil as well to the mix.

I love OCM! Even my skeptical husband became a convert (and it cleared up his skin beautifully, something he has struggledwith for a long time). The castor oil on its own can be a great spot treatment for pimples (when I used to cheat and have dairy, it would show up immediately in my face, and the castor oil would get tried of it usually overnight!)
I second the mineral makeup recommendation as well. I love the few I have, and as soon as I can afford to replace the rest of my makeup, it is ON.

Thanks, Gingembre!
I will definitely look into mineral makeup - I've been some informercials on TV and it sounded very interesting.

So this article is a bit old and I can't seem to find a search function to look for any further articles on this topic.
So how did it work for you? : )
I would really appreciate a reply^^
Thanks!
