Oil Cleansing

CleaDSC_0032nsing your face with oils is great for every skin type. It is gentle on your skin and removes dirt and makeup with ease. Oils push the dirt from your pores and moisturize your skin. Washing your face with oils is simple. Making your own inexpensive oil face wash is just as simple, and can be done with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. There are many different recipes for oil face cleansers. You can always experiment to find what works best for your skin. The recipe that I use is extremely simple and inexpensive. I love it, and have found that it clears my skin. I have fewer blemishes and my skin is softer and healthier than before.

Cleansing Oil Wash:

  •  ½ cup of extra virgin olive oil
  •  ½ cup of coconut oil
  • 1 tsp. castor oil

Melt the coconut oil and then simply add the olive oil and castor oil. This mixture will be liquid in warmer weather but will solidify when temperatures drop. It can be used in either condition.DSC_0036

To cleanse with your new oil wash, simply massage the oil into your skin, let sit for a couple of minutes and then gently remove with warm water and a washcloth.
