Oil Cleansing Method

Cleansing your face with olive oil is very easy. All you need is a soft washcloth, oil, and hot running water. Simply pour oil onto the palm of your hand and smooth it all over your face, gently massaging your skin. Let the oil sit for a couple of minutes to give it enough time to work on dissolving the impurities in your skin.

Once you’re ready to remove the oil from your face, run the washcloth under the hot water and place the washcloth over your face. Leave it there until it cools then wipe your face gently and repeat until your skin feels clean and moisturized. This deep cleansing method should be done regularly, but not too frequently. You can benefit from this cleansing method if you do it a couple of times a week.
