I know that this may sound crazy...putting oil on your face? Isn't that counter-productive? But I'm telling you this WORKS. If your like me, then you have suffered from acne since middle school...everyone says "Oh you'll grow out of it by your 20's!" Well guess what...that hasn't happened yet! I have tried everything from Proactive to every over the counter cream and treatment you could list (including the expensive ones) and even prescription antibiotics. Yes over time they work, eventually..however this is the first all natural method I have tried without harsh chemicals or peroxides. After coming across the Oil Cleansing Method on some blogs and seeing the pictures I thought I'd give it a try..why not right?! I would not endorse something if I didn't give it a shot myself and witness the results. After 3 nights of this method, I could see a clear differece. No more white heads, no more cystic breakouts, and smooth matte skin tone! The theory behind the method:

"The basic concept of this skin care and cleansing method is that the oil used to massage your skin will dissolve the oil that has hardened with impurities and found itself stuck in your pores. The steam will open your pores, allowing the oil to be easily removed. Should you need it, the smallest drop of the same oil formula patted over damp skin will provide the necessary lubrication to keep your skin from over-compensating in oil production." Source

Recipe:
For oily skin: 30% Castor Oil, 70% Grapeseed Oil
For Normal/Balanced skin: 50% Castor Oil, 50% Grapeseed oil
For Dry Skin: 30% Grapeseed Oil, 70% Castor Oil

Method: Step 1: Mix remedy into bowl in bathroom. Dab fingertips in oil and massage into face. Don't rub like you would a cleanser, massage the oils deep into pores like you they would at a spa! Soak a wash cloth in hot water and wipe off. STEP 2: Dip fingers in a second time and massage into skin again. This time heat a washcloth as hot as you can stand, and then place on your face and let it steam on your skin until wash cloth gets to room temperature. Finally, clean wash cloth and wipe face off.

Your skin will feel softer and have a pretty matte finish. After a few days your breakouts will start to heal and over time scarring will diminish! Hope this helps! Cheers!
