Oil cleansing method is the best for battling acne

The oil cleansing method technique has taken the internet by storm. The technique first appeared on Reddit with many users swearing by the benefits of this cleansing method. The basic principle behind OCM is cleansing with oil, as that helps dissolve sebum, dirt, and makeup to leave your skin feeling clean. The oil helps break down all of that product and at the same time is super gentle on your face.


You will require a few drops of oil that you massage onto your face in circular motions for about 30 to 40 seconds. Don't wash your face before as the damp face will act as a barrier to the oil. Next, wipe your face with a soft damp cloth, preferably micro-fibre cloth. Then re-apply the oil and massage into your skin and then wipe off. If you're used to double cleansing, you can opt for a gentle foaming cleanser to rinse off any residue.
