Yes, you read it right, it is really using the oil to clean our face. My commercial facial wash is going to finish soon, I was thinking if I should go and buy a new one, or I just try to make up something on my own. I have aloe vera plant in my garden, I know it is good for cleaning and curing the acne too. I have been having acne problem since I was a teenager, and I still get that very often now though I am already an adult. (I used to think only teenagers have acne, but apparently I was so wrong.)
When I was reading how to make aloe vera gel or aloe vera face wash, I pumped into this: Oil Cleansing Method. My first impression was, how could it be? My face is already very oily, and causing many pimples, how can I still apply oil to my face? Yes, it is right. When I continued to read and find out more about this method, I think it is really worth to give it a try.
Reasons for using the oil cleansing method:
1. It is natural.
I know I will continue to buy some commercial and chemical products, but I hope I can try to make some natural products on my own, as I would not like to bring so much chemicals or toxins into my body, especially my children’s body.
2. It is cheap.
Of course it depends on what oils we are using, but I think it is still cheaper than the commercial products.
3. You can get it easily.
We might already have this oil in our home, such as Olive oil. I have read coconut oil works for some people too. We can actually use the oil to cook, and also to wash our face. How good it is! There are many other oils that are suggested to use too, including jojoba oil, sunflower seed oil, grapeseed oil, avocado oil, sweet almond oil, etc.
4. It is easy to prepare.
There is no complicated process for us to make the oil for face cleansing. You just need to mix the oils according to your face condition by following some standard recipes or experimenting yourself. I also read from a blogger that she sometimes just uses one oil, without mixing with other oils. Castor oil is always suggested to be the major ingredient, as it helps healing and cleansing. Since I do not have castor oil at home, and I have jojoba oil, so I decided to just use jojoba oil. How simple it is. I even skipped the mixing procedure.
5. The cleansing process is simple.
What we need are: The cleansing oil blend + wash cloth + hot water
First, I just pour some jojoba oil into my palm. Then I use my fingers to rub on my face and massage. After some time, I soak the wash cloth into hot water and cover my face. I like the steaming experience, I just feel great about it. After steaming for about a minute, until the wash cloth is cool, I just use it to wipe my face, rinse and wipe again for a few times.
I tried the oil cleansing method for the first time last night. It was a great experience. I never expected my face to be so clean and comfortable.

Thanks for this post. I will try it. I read that sesame oil is good to use too, so I have it and will try it on my face. It has a very nice nutty smell. I will also try coconut oil; the one extracted and cooked locally, not the one used for cooking or frying. Native therapists use it for massaging or healing people who got some dislocated joints. (maybe minor ones).
I was very interested to try it when I first read it online too. I really enjoyed the feeling after my own "facial treatment".
You can try with any types of oil to find out which is suitable for your skin. I read different oil might have different effect on different people. Some said coconut oil is good for them, but some said not. I have also read that it is good not to change the oil every day, perhaps give one oil a week to try out?
I am not sure if it is good to use the oil we use to cook, I read that the oil can be used to clean our face and to cook, so it is convenient, I suppose it is okay too. :D
I am going to buy castor oil and perhaps try with coconut oil and olive oil too. I read that olive oil is good.
You can search online for more information or go to this website: http://www.theoilcleansingmethod.com/
Enjoy your facial treatment! ^_^
i am going to try it, i like it and that is so nice infromation to share it thanks again, though liked olive oil and tried it and work wonders for me but i did not try it with other things like mix this with that, olive with coconut or olive with caste, I guess it has to be done one day and try it, cleaning face and body also is really good for the health and keeping health for longer, have to accept that life will make us age, but still we can delay it maybe sometiems,life is making us aging and let us age in a beautiful way, i like to collect these info for future usage and trial also, but now i guess its the time to use one of it, i guess that will be the first since it is easier, just mix things together and apply and wait, good really
