    I use Lush comestic Ultrabland or my homemade cleansing oil (1/3 castor, 1/3 jojoba, 1/3 sweet almond) to remove sunscreen and makeup and then use chagrin valley's rhassoul soap on top of it.

    For really deep cleansing, I love the Aztec clay (affordable at $6 for 1 lb jar in WF) mixed with apple cider vinegar or yogurt or fresh fruit juice. The clay soaks out everything...

    I'm a total oil cleansing method convert thanks to these boards. I use 1/3 castor, 2/3 jojoba and a few drops of tea tree. Love it.

I'm amazed.

    I am intrigued. Tell me more. I have normally oily skin to begin with. And, I wear glasses so sometimes I often get oil smudges on the lenses that drive me bonkers. Would this method be worth trying?

    I was very faithful at one point to this method. My skin looked great, felt soft, glowed. I need to get back to it!

    A couple more links...

    wanted to add also that my skin did best with olive oil, but others find different oils work better for them. A bit of trial and error is needed to find your match!

    I'm oily in the t-zone and tend to break out with my cycle each month. The tea tree oil really keeps that in check.

    For me the key is really taking at least 2mins, to message the oils in. Then I let it sit on my face a few more minutes while I let the water in the sink or shower heat up. There's lots of options for customizing your personal mix.
