Is walnut oil a good choice for the OCM ( oil cleansing method) ?? And would it okay to mix it with other oils?
Zuleikha, yes, walnut oil can be used for the OCM and can be mixed with other oils as well. Some people feel it can be a bit too greasy for their skin, but then everyone’s different and if it works ok for you, there’s no reason not to use it.
