This listing is for an oil based cleanser. It is appropriate for all skin types.
This cleanser contains organic apricot kernel oil, organic castor oil and organic unrefined cocoa butter as well as eucalyptus, roman chamomile and clove essential oils. It comes in a glass 4 ounce container and has a shelf life of 6 mos.
Cleansing with oil is one of the healthiest ways to cleanse the skin. Believe it or not, oil does an amazing job ridding your pores of dirt, makeup and sebum! The amazing thing about cleansing with oil is that it can balance all skin types as well as nourish the skin where as a soap based cleanser can strip the skin or oils causing excessive dryness or even overproduction of oil!
This cleanser can be used morning and night and is an excellent and gentle way to remove even waterproof eye makeup.
To Use:
1.Apply a quarter size amount of the cleanser to your skin.
2.Massage gently over the skin and neck for 1 minute.
3.Warm your towel under hot water.
4.Place a warm cloth over your skin and let sit until the cloth cools.
5.Gently remove the oil with the cloth.
6.Re-apply the rinsed and re-warmed towel over the skin until the cloth cools for added detox if needed.
7.Follow up with a moisturizer and/or serum. (I like to skip the toner and go straight for a serum at this time because my pores are open from the warm towel and the serum soaks right in!)
How Does Oil Cleansing Work?
Oil dissolves oil. By massaging the oils into your skin, you are are forcing the oil into your pores. Massaging also encourages blood flow and oxygen to the cells for added detox. Once you add a warm towel, the steam will open up the oil soaked pores so that the oil can come out-as the oil is purged from your pores, impurities will follow. The oil will help balance your skin by either convincing your skin to stop over producing oil or by depositing much needed oil.
Benefits of The Oil Cleansing Method:
>Exfoliation
>Increased blood flow.
>Skin detox
>Balanced skin
>Gentle, non-stripping cleansing.
This cleanser will have a solid consistency but when it is stored in a warmer climate, it can become runny. This is perfectly fine for the skin. If you prefer a harder consistency, store in a cooler place or even in the fridge.
Due to the cocoa butter, this balm can become grainy. Once you warm it in your hands it will become smooth again. A grainy consistency does not affect the effectiveness of the cleanser or indicate that the balm has gone bad.
**There can be a detox period while your skin is purging impurities. This is your skin ridding itself of toxins and can last anywhere from 1-3 weeks. This doesn't happen with everyone's skin. To encourage proper elimination of toxins, be sure to drink plenty of water!
