Does the oil cleansing method for faces work?
Yes it does work, if you use washes or soaps to wash with these strip your skin of it's natural oils so the skin has to overcompensate to make up for what it looses when you wash. With OCM because you're using oil it means your skin doesn't have to produce that extra oil any more, and because of the types of oils used they whatever traces of oil are left on the skin after cleansing will be absorbed into the skin so help prevent excessive oil production. That's the whole point of OCM, oil is good for your skin, unless you have so much that it sits on your skin collecting dirt and bacteria which leads to spots, OCM balances out your skin so it doesn't get overly oily thus why it works to prevent acne, dry skin and oily skin. Prior to using OCM I had bad acne on my chin, flaking skin on my nose and forehead, and VERY oily skin particularly around my chin and nose - as well as not having acne anymore or flaking skin my skin isn't oily either. I noticed this about a week after I started using OCM after a shopping trip on a hot day, when my nose would normally have been swimming in oil, I found my nose wasn't at all oily instead it was soft as a babies bottom :-) It's a good basic mix to start with - I started with 50% castor oil and 50% extra virgin olive oil, and pretty much stuck to that - I tried 100% jojoba oil once as this is closer to skins natural oils, but it became too heavy in the hot weather so went back to the old mix. See how it works out for you, experiment with different oils, grapeseed oil might be one to try if the castor oil and olive oil mix doesn't work out for you, but with that said I don't see why it wouldn't. Good luck!
Oil Cleansing Method?
Okay so I am 16 and I have generally clear skin with the occasional couple zits or blackheads and I recently tried this new method of cleansing your face with Olive oil and Castor oil. I have only been doing this method for about 2 weeks, and in the very beginning it had great results! smoother skin, less oily skin, and i didn't need to worry about my skin as much, i only washed it at night and it was fine for the whole next day! But within the past 5 days to a week of using this method my skin has acquired little zit like bumps and black heads ALL OVER! they aren't very noticeable from a distance so i didn't really worry about them, i just thought it was my skin completely cleansing itself by getting rid of all the crap that's been in it by pushing it out through these tiny zits. But now it is really starting to bug me! Because none of these little zits or blackheads are going away!? they just seem to be multiplying!? And now my skin feels rough to the touch and its very annoying because i've always been used to it being smooth! So I don't know whether to continue on with this method and let all these gradually go away and in return have gorgeous skin, or to stop this method and go back to my old facial cleanser. I think it might be normal for this to occur being i've only been doing this for about 2 weeks, but i just need some advice! If any of you have experience with this or even just a good response they would all be greatly appreciated and helpful :) thanks!
How do I detox my skin after Oil Cleansing Method?
So about a month ago I tried the Oil Cleansing Method (OCM) once and I failed miserably. I don't know if I did it wrong, if my skin wasn't the right kind of skin for this method, or if the Extra Virgin Olive Oil I used had gone rancid. My face has never been worse than this. I used to have pretty good skin with a few pimples, but now I have tiny bumps all over my face (mostly on my chin and cheeks) and a lot of red dots everywhere. I can't stand the way it looks. I was wondering if anyone knew of some kind of detoxing method to really get into the pores and eliminate any of the olive oil that might still be there. I have washed my face like I usually do, but it still looks horrible and new pimples are developing even if I havent used OCM in about a month. I have tried ProActiv but it didn't do anything for me. Please! I need help, It's summer and I can't even go out without make up on because it looks so gross! And to anyone who wants to do OCM on your face, please reseach what oils would work with your face and always buy a new bottle of the oil you're gonna use. I can't warn people enough about trying this method without doing some solid background research. It ruined my face.
Does the oil cleansing method work?
Yes absolutely..Oil cleansing is one of best natural skin care method.The science behind oil-cleansing is basically just that oils can break down the other pollutants, make-up, dry skin cells, and impurities that have hardened with your skins oils and gotten stuck in your pores, while still keeping your skin moisturised. Sort of like you need turpentine to get oil paints off your hands, the same way the skin needs an oil based substance to break down our natural oils that have gotten jammed in our pores along with makeup and dirt.I’m sure every woman has experienced the miraculous effect baby oil has on stubborn waterproof mascara, it melts off immediately unlike if you simply washed your face with a face wash. Oils have the same effect on pretty much anything else applied to the skin.To know more about oil cleansing method and natural skin care tips, visit this link - http://jasleengill.com/oil-clean...
Oil cleansing method, good for getting rid of acne?
Yes, the oil cleansing method is good for getting rid of acne. Olive oil is a semi-risky oil that causes acne in some people, read it here http://www.livestrong.com/article/159070-vegetable-oils-acne/ Use 100% pure sunflower oil instead, it is totally safe. You also have to exfoliate your skin properly while doing the oil cleansing method, otherwise your acne will become bad. The washcloth you use while doing the oil cleansing method is suppose to exfoliate your skin, but I think some people are not doing it correctly which is why their acne is becoming worse while doing this method.

Is there any legitimacy to the "no 'poo" and the "oil cleansing method"?
Thanks for A2A. I have no personal experience of either of method, the answer is based on my understanding though I could not find evidence for my answer.Yes! it is true that over cleansing leads to oil rebound. But, if your hair are oily, they will attract more dirt and pollutants, and hence need more efficient cleansing and of course not overzealous or very frequent cleansing. So, stopping the shampoo altogether, without very effective substitute might aggravate oiliness rather.Regarding oil cleansing method, it is true that oil desolves oil and hence more efficient cleansing might be possible. But again, I am not sure which type of oils will not further clog the pores of your oily skin and hence not further trigger open pores or pimples. I would suggest you to, take this questionnaire on our website, this would help you in understanding your skin better along with detailed customised skin care regimes:Questionaire
Does the no-poo method work?
Thank you so much for the asked to answer. In regards to your question, I stand very firm that the whole new wave of no shampoo is not only a farce and a marketing scheme, not to mention a way for manufacturing companies and businesses to save money by combining two products that by rule should be separated. Keep in mind this is my opinion but one that is based on common sense and science. It is imperative that the scalp be kept clean so that the hair is able to grow through the follicle and that follicle needs to be free of debris and most importantly sebum. That is the oil that develops on the scalp. Knowing that, how would a shampoo that is heavily moisturized and has very little cleaning capacity be able to provide you with an optimal environment for healthy hair growth?You want to be able to have a shampoo that addresses your needs whether you have an oily scalp, normal, dry, combination. And address the actual cuticle aka hair with a conditioner customized for you if necessary. Another very important role is that conditioner had no business being there anywhere near the scalp. Understanding the fundamental concept, how do shampoos such as Wen or following that even make sense? Please do not be offended by my tone it is just that battling this misconception and marketing tactics aimed at the consumer just for name of Prophet is one that about who I take quite seriously I hope that answers your question and thank you for asking. :)
Oil Cleansing Method purging or breakout?! Help!?
Has anyone tried the oil cleansing method? I have been doing this method for a little over a week, using 75% grapeseed oil to 25% castor oil. Immediately I noticed some purging on my forehead, I never break out on my forehead but within a few days the pimples were gone. At about the 1 week mark, I started to have a BAD breakout around my chin/right and left sides of my mouth. It is pretty bad, it is the kind that itches and hurts. There are tiny whiteheads that are constantly forming but also some bigger postules. The last time I broke out this bad, it was when I started a new cleansing system, and it eventually did clear up my skin really well. I need some advice though! These are the areas I constantly break out, so I am wondering if it is my skin purging (there must be a lot of bacteria/clogged pores in this area!) or if my skin is just not liking the oil cleansing method. I had tiny little white bumps on my chin FOREVER that never came to a head and now I noticed that they have been purging with the ocm! I hope the awful breakout I've been having is just my skin purging, but I am not too sure. Anyone else experience something similar? I also want to add that I do this once a day at night, and I make sure I get off all the oil with a hot washcloth. Would appreciate feedback because I want to know if I should stick it out or if I should discontinue it!
