Whenever I use oil (coconut oil for example) to remove makeup or moisturize or whatever, the next day I have issues with makeup staying in place, most noticeably mascara. Does anyone else have this issue? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oil-cleansing-method-1#post-1667746 Fri, 30 May 2014 06:13:18 +0000 looch 1667746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried a combo of castor, grapeseed and tea tree last year and I didn't see any noticeable difference, but honestly, that's okay with me, because my skin is decently normal to begin with.</p> <p>I have to find some food grade grapeseed oil, I haven't had a chance to get to Whole Foods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oil-cleansing-method-1#post-1667737 Fri, 30 May 2014 06:01:41 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1667737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use castor oil + jojoba oil. I really like it. It makes my skin so smooth and removes all my makeup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oil-cleansing-method-1#post-1667538 Thu, 29 May 2014 22:22:30 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1667538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need to get back into it, but I used castor, tea tree and grapeseed oil. My skin was soft and not flaky/dry, and it definitely helped with the massive breakouts I got. Plus I find steaming my face with a washcloth super relaxing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oil-cleansing-method-1#post-1667452 Thu, 29 May 2014 21:41:47 +0000 Espion 1667452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: People have different "mixtures", but you massage it into your face for a minute or so, then place a super warm, damp wash cloth over your face to let it steam, then gently wipe off excess. </p> <p>At least that's what I think it is!</p> <p>I use straight jojoba oil, and, weirdly enough, my face feels a bit tight afterwards...like I used a mask or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oil-cleansing-method-1#post-1667443 Thu, 29 May 2014 21:39:57 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1667443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What exactly is oil cleansing? Do you just wash your face with oil instead of soap? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oil-cleansing-method-1#post-1667431 Thu, 29 May 2014 21:36:34 +0000 Espion 1667431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@heartonastring: Does the castor oil dry out your skin? It seems like people are 80% "it's fantastic" and 20% "it made my skin worse than before". I don't usually moisturize (see: breakout like crazy), so I think it seems somewhat better from that standpoint. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oil-cleansing-method-1#post-1667205 Thu, 29 May 2014 20:39:03 +0000 heartonastring 1667205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use OCM. My skin went crazy when I was pregnant and I'm still waiting for it to totally settle down :/ It goes in spurts.</p> <p>But OCM definitely seems to help and I mostly just like how well it removes makeup while not using any chemicals.</p> <p>My blend is castor oil, jojoba and a few drops to tea tree oil. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oil-cleansing-method-1#post-1667091 Thu, 29 May 2014 20:18:39 +0000 Pepper 1667091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: I don't know anything about oil cleansing, but my face is such a mess right now. Break out city :( I never even got this many blemishes when I was in high school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oil-cleansing-method-1#post-1667074 Thu, 29 May 2014 20:15:49 +0000 Espion 1667074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those of you who do this, what sort of benefits do you see? How long did it take to see any benefit? </p> <p>I've been using straight jojoba oil, and it <i>seems</i> like everything is 'so far, so good', but I'm not sure what sort of change I'm looking for. (I break out at the drop of a hat. Sad that the thing I was most looking forward to in "growing up" was better skin, because I believed that you could magically grow out of having rotten skin!) </p>
