Oh, it's a tiring day! Coming home, you'd just want to relax and refresh. Nothing feels better than removing your heels and makeup. But what if instead of removing the impurities on your face, you actually put them into more harm from your cleanser? Even some cleansers that claim to be hypoallergenic can still contain harmful chemicals. Some even strip the natural oils on your skin that keep it supple. Instead of fighting oil with chemicals, why not kill the oil with oil cleansing method ? Sounds weird, right? For a little chemistry review, oil dissolves oil. That is the idea behind the method.

 

 


What Is Oil Cleansing Method?

 


The oil cleansing method uses a combination of natural oils to clean one's skin. A variety of products cater to all skin types, be it normal, combination, dry, oily or acne-prone. It can also help you treat current acne. No need for a separate makeup remover as well, since it dissolves deep-seated makeup. But before going deep into the preferred types of oil know about the types of oil cleansing method. There are two types basically. They are:
 
  • Basic cleansing
  • Deep cleansing
 
The basic cleansing uses simple oils such as jojobas, coconut oil and olive oil. They help wash away impurities.
The deep cleansing uses castor oil known for its anti-inflammatory properties and healing powers. Since it is a natural astringent, it has a stronger cleansing oil than simple oils.

How Does It Actually Work?


 
This oil cleansing method actually dissolves the deep-seated oil in your skin and replenishes it with the nourishment that came from the cleansing oil. Unlike usual cleansers it does not wipe off the natural oil from your skin. Doing so will only enhance the existing condition of clogged pores leading to blackheads and whiteheads, and even acne.
