Cure Acne Naturally with the Oil Cleansing Method
Want to cure your acne, but don’t want to wash your skin with dangerous chemicals? Here is a method I stumbled upon recently that works for all skin types, and with rave reviews by even the worst acne suffers. It’s called oil cleansing, and it can be done easily with ingredients found from any store.
Here is what you are going to need:extra virgin olive oil and castor oil(which has antibacterial properties). You can mix them together 50/50, but you’re probably going to want to experiment with different ratios. If you have dry skin, you’re going to want to use less castor oil, which can tend to dry out skin. If your skin is oily, go ahead and use more of the castor oil. You will be able to determine which ratio is best for your own skin after awhile.
Take some of the resulting mixture and massage it into your skin for two minutes. Don’t press too hard, just lightly. You don’t want to damage your skin. After the two minutes are up, take a washcloth, rinse it in warm or hot water, and drape it over your face. Rinse and repeat. You do not need to scrub the oil out; in fact, a residue will remain for awhile (so probably don’t plan on doing this right before you go out, or ladies, right before you put your makeup on).
I and many others swear by this method, so if it doesn’t seem to be working for you after several days, try adjusting the ratio of the oils. You can also add a few drops of any essential oils if you like. The great thing about this method is it works for any skin type and you can adjust this yourself. Many people with even severe acne have benefited greatly using this technique.
Tip: if you experience a sudden breakout, try applying aloe vera to the affected areas. Natural, cheap, and works wonders! However, this does have a drying effect on the skin, so try not to go too crazy with it if you already have dry skin.
