A few questions about the Oil Cleansing Method....

4 replies

Having seen its praises sung on here I have decided to try the Oil Cleansing Method. I have read its website, got the oils and am ready to start. But I have a couple of questions for anyone who uses/has used it:

I was thinking of doing it every night and then just a wash with water in the morning. Is this right?

Can I still use face masks etc occasionally?

At the moment, I wash my face, then use a cleanser and toner, and then moisturise. Do I still use the cleanser and toner? Surely I will still have to moisturise? Especially after just rinsing my face in the morning? Or is the point that you don't use anything on your face apart from the oils? So if I need to moisturise I should do it with the oil blend?

Hope that all makes sense!

TIA

I am no expert, but try to do it with olive oil every other day..I don't usually need any moisturises which is a nice surprise, and then in between my face just gets a water-wash in the shower. I do still sometimes use my normal moisturiser though, and will certaily be using it in the summer because ther'e some UV protection in it.
I'm not obsessive about it..not sure if there are any official rights and wrongs..but I think it works for my skin anyway

I do OCM most nights, and use a Simple foaming face wash in the morning. I don't use toner following OCM, but do splash my face with cold water before applying Clarins night oil.

In the morning I again splash my face with water (after washing with simple face wash) and use SPF moisturiser. Olay atm.

I use a face mask once a week or so and use a face scrub once or twice a week, usually on mornings after I didn't have time to OCM the night before.

Tbh I could do with doing OCM less often and doing it properly when I do do it, as I am in the habit of rushing it now and it's not nearly so effective.
