The Ultimate Guide to Oil Cleansing for Radiant Skin

Never has there been a simpler way to transform your skin. Oil cleansing is an incredible method for ALL skin types, offering deep nourishment and balance. Whether you're dealing with hyperpigmentation, acne-prone skin, or signs of aging, our oil cleansing ritual is the perfect solution.

Why Oil Cleansing Works

Oil cleansing may seem counterintuitive, but when you consider that oil dissolves oil, it makes perfect sense—even for acne-prone skin. High-linoleic acid oils effectively break down impurities without stripping your natural sebum. This prevents your skin from overproducing oil and helps maintain a healthy balance. Unlike traditional cleansers, oil cleansing leaves skin soft, hydrated, and refreshed instead of tight and dry.

Choosing the Right Oils

Traditional oil cleansing methods often use olive, and coconut, or castor oil. However, these high-oleic acid oils can clog pores and worsen breakouts for some skin types. Instead, we recommend:

• Jojoba Oil – Balances oil production and deeply hydrates

• Sweet Almond Oil – Lightweight and rich in vitamins for soft, supple skin

• Grapeseed Oil – Packed with antioxidants and helps tighten skin

• Sesame Oil – Soothing and protective, great for dry or mature skin

• Castor Oil – Gently detoxifies and purifies congested skin (very thick oil!)

How to Oil Cleanse

1. If wearing makeup, remove eye makeup with a few drops of oil on a cotton pad.

2. Pour a teaspoon of your chosen oil into your palm and massage it into your face and neck.

3. Soak a microfibre washcloth in warm water, wring it out, and place it over your face for 30 seconds to let the steam open your pores.

4. Gently wipe away the oil with the washcloth.

5. Repeat until your skin feels clean and refreshed.

Face Mist + Oil Blend Directions

• Cleanse the skin with carrier oil

• Mist the skin and apply a pipette of oil warmed in the palm of your hands

• Add a few drops of your chosen essential oil blend to your carrier oil (6 drops to tbsp). Pat gently into the face to nourish and hydrate.

• Use a Gua Sha tool to relieve stress, boost blood circulation, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

💡 Bonus Tip: Leftover essential oil? Add a few drops to a bowl for a facial steam, shower, or diffuser for an extra wellness boost!

⚠️ Important Note: While essential oils can be a great addition to your cleansing oil, avoid using them near the eyes. Essential oils are highly concentrated and may cause irritation. When removing eye makeup, stick to pure carrier oils like jojoba or sweet almond oil for a safe and gentle cleanse.
