Using oil to cleanse the skin? Most would consider this a skin care disaster resulting in a blemished, oily face. But the OCM cleansing method has been proven to not only moisturize the skin, it also can help to clear acne and excessive oily skin. You can also customize your oil cleanser by adding essential oils specific to your facial cleanser needs. Create a anti aging cleanser by adding carrotseed oil. Or help clear acne by adding teatree or sandalwood essential oil. Add a bit of brown sugar before you wash for the perfect skin exfoliator.
Oily Skin: 30% Castor Oil to 70% Carrier Oil
Normal Skin: 20% Castor Oil to 80% Carrier Oil.
Dry Skin: 10% Castor Oil to 90% Carrier Oil.

20% Castor Oil + 80% Carrier Oil + your additional small amount of essential oils and added beneficial carrier oils

- Castor Oil is used as the cleansing agent. It is thick in consistency. Castor oil has healing properties however can be drying to the skin.
