The Oil Cleansing Method and What You Need to Know
By
There’s a lot of talk about the oil cleansing method in African American forums. Some ladies swear by it (usually those who just started doing oil cleansing) and others find that the side effects are just not worth it.
What Is Oil Cleansing?
I have a lot to share on the oil cleansing method and it will take a few posts for me to do so.
For starters, let me explain what oil cleansing is:
Oil cleansing is a natural skin care method by which natural oils are used to cleanse and balance the oils in the skin. It’s based on the idea that oil dissolves oil.
Even though women with normal and dry skin have tried this method, it doesn’t even make sense. If you have dry or normal skin, why disturb the already delicate balance of oil in your skin?
Common Oils Used
People who use the oil cleansing method apply a combination of castor oil and extra virgin olive oil to the skin. Sometimes Grapeseed or Jojoba oil is used in place of the extra virgin olive oil.
There’s a bit of detail on the oil cleansing method that I will share with you over the next few weeks including why you should NOT use this form of “skin care” on your delicately pigmented skin.
In the meantime, if you have ever used the oil cleansing method, share your experience in the comments. I’m willing to bet that there are just as many ladies against the method as there are for.

I always use EVOO, I love how it leaves my body feeling so soft and refreshed! Hubby thinks I’m crazy but I’m gonna show him this so he can see I’m not the only one that does this! LOL
Hmm Charee, in a few posts you’ll see that I an NOT pro-oil cleansing. You may have found a product that works for you. It’s the process where people create their own mixtures that I have a problem with. Many women are not seeing good results with oil cleansing. How long have you been doing it for?

Oil cleansing is a natural skin care method by which natural oils are used to cleanse and balance the oils in the skin. It’s based on the idea that oil dissolves oil. It really helps the skin back to its natural glow. It is one most effective natural skin care nowadays.

I agree/disagree. The oil cleansing method does NOT work for everyone. it can be counterproductive to add oil to already over-oily skin.
If you’ve read the entire series you’ll notice I said there are too many variables to oil cleansing that lead many to failure.

If a person emit excess oil and will use oil cleansing method, their skin might be so oily. This method is maybe effective for those dry skin to help them moisturize their skin. I haven’t tried it yet and I’m afraid to do so.
