The Oil Cleansing Method uses oil to clean out your pores as opposed to soap or water-based ingredients. The Oil Cleansing Method operates under the principal of like dissolving like, and the idea is to use oil to reach deep down into your skin’s pores to dissolve oil in a way that soap and water can't. The oil also attracts and sticks to dirt and grim which can become clogged deep in your pores, which makes this method a gentle and effective way to remove makeup, dirt, sweat and excess sebum.

Sebum, your skin’s natural oil helps to keep your skin watertight from the outside, and to also keep moisture in. It is therefore a protective and necessary layer that heals, protects and moisturises your skin. When your skin produces too little sebum, your skin becomes dry, cracked and dull. When your skin produces too much, you can be battling acne or blackheads and whiteheads.  

While this method can sound strange to those with oily or acne prone skin, the Oil Cleansing Method can actually help to improve and rebalance your skin’s level of sebum and help reduce acne. It is possible, you may need to allow your skin time though to adapt to this method of cleansing. It contains no harsh ingredients and because it is 100% oil, it does not need to contain any preservatives.

How to use the Oil Cleanser

1. Use this method only at night before bedtime.
2. Start by immersing your hot cloth in hot water to generate a good amount of steam without scalding your face.
3. Place the hot, wet washcloth over your face, and leave it there for about 30 seconds. 
4. Remove the cloth, and pour about half to one teaspoon of Oil Cleanser into the palm of your hand. Gently massage the cleanser onto your face in a circular motion for 1-2 minutes.
5. Wet the washcloth again in hot water, and place it over your face for another ten to twenty seconds.
6. Rinse the washcloth again in hot water, then use it to gently wipe the oil off of your skin. Repeat this step three times, or until you are sure that all the oil has been removed.
7. Pat dry with a towel.
8. If you wish, follow with a toner suited to your skin type which helps to close up your pores and remove any final traces of oil.
9. If you skin feels dry, apply moisturiser or facial oil.
10. In the morning just wipe around your face with a cotton pad with toner.
