You can use the Oil Cleansing Method if you want. I only do it every now and then for luck of time, but there's nothing wrong in doing it daily unless you experience a negative reaction. In that case, it's more than luckily that you're using the wrong oils or the wrong concentrations for your skin type. You can choose which oils you use. You can only use olive oil, or olive oil and castor oil, or castor oil and sunflower seed oil. Whatever suits your skin type best. Hope this helped and let me know how it goes.

I read somewhere else that you are supposed to do it twice a week. If so does that mean that you shouldn't wash your face the other days? Thxs. Sorry for so many questions. I'm really interested in trying this. Where do you substitute the others oil such as coconut oil in and are you suppose to do this everyday?

It's a bit weid at first to put oils on your face and I think some people are scared they're gonna cause breakouts. But they don't. Once you get over the weirdness, you actually notice how good the results are. Nic nic: I'm sorry it didn't work for you. Maybe you can try jojoba or sunflower oil? Just make sure they'r suitable for your skin type and you shouldn't have a reaction. Dao: I never thought of putting it in a bottle, lol. Maybe that's because I don't do the OCM often due to lack of time although I really love it. The concentrations of oild are very imporant, you're right and depend on your skin type. I usually use olive oil and 30% castor oil and this seems to work fine for me. cal orey: thanks for your comment. I agree, olive oil has great moisturizers and antioxidant properties. It has always worked very well for me too. Hanna_Hullabaloo: not all oils cause breakouts. jojoba oil for instance is non-comedogenic and neither is sunflower oils. The commercial ones like Shu Uemura, however, contains lots of chemicals so the chance of having a negative reaction are higher. But if water-based products work bst for you, there is no need to change. OCM is very popular esp among people who are into natural, organic beauty and it's always cheaper than buying commercial cleansing oils. I've heard so many things about BB Creams but never tried one as they aren't available here :( my_makeup_mania: I'm glad you like it. It works great doesn't it? I love how soft my skin is afterwards. Tine: wow, that definitely takes it all off! You're right, better be sure and remove everything! :) But I have to admit that I'm too lazy to do all that in the evening.. Suzanne: I think your right.

First makeup remover, then cleansing oil, and finish with cleanser. Gotta make sure EVERYTHING comes off :) I use cleansing oils when I wear foundation, especially during the evenings when I’m out to dinner.

Sure, I know about Shu Uemura cleansing oil whatnot, but I just dont dare to use oil to remove my makeup. Guess water-based products suit my skin better. =) If ppl are raving bout OCM over there, over here beautyholics are raving about BB cream. Hmm this probably new thing to me.

Both work well from head to toe. Warning: You can get addicted to ready-made olive oil-based soaps, shampoos, gels, and conditioners.

The mixture of oil is important, I use equal parts of castor, olive, and jojoba oils and mix them in a bottle. That way whenever I want to do an OCM, I have the mix ready.
