The oil cleansing method

I've been battling terrible blackheads and sometimes cystic pimples years. I've tried countless creams & cleansers but nothing helped. That's a lie, Proactive did but what it did to my towels & eyebrows was just not fun.

I've been thinking about Roacutanne but was scared of the side effects so I started searching online and stumbled across the Oil Cleaning Method (www.theoilcleansingnethod.com)

I read through countless reviews & decided it was worth a try. From what I read it seemed like the people that were having bad results were using Castor Oil & Olive Oil. I knew that was crazy. Seriously who puts olive oil on their skin when they have cystic acne??

I bought some oils from a local factory www.newdirections.com.au

Castor, Jojoba, Grape Seed & Almond oils. All of them were recommended for acne treatment.

12.04.2012 -THE NIGHTMARE - I decided to leave off a photo because it was just too feral or public viewing. I had a few hormonal pimples left over from 'that time' and blackheads everywhere.

So I mixed 50% Castor Oil, 25% Grape Seed & 25% Jojoba in a bowl & sat down in front of Sex and the City to get started.

Massage massage massage for 20 minutes. God it was boring!!!! But I stuck it out and after about 15 mins I started to feel hard things on my hands. It was blackheads. VOM! But hey that's a good sign!

After the massaging was done I streamed my face with a hot washcloth and had a shower. God it was hard not to pick up the cleanser but I resisted the temptation! Rosehip oil on & then bed!

13.04.2012

I woke up for the first time in years without a face like the bottom of an olive oil bottle... Feeling good.

Into the shower & the cleanser was staring at me!!!! I avoided it yet again & just washed my skin with water. It was so weird!!!!

Throughout the day my skin got drier & drier. So bad that I could see big yucky flakes. Ew! But I did the whole oil thing again tonight. It's feeling super dry. I know it's the castor oil but I really want to stick with the 50% Castor Oil, 25% Grape Seed & 25% Jojoba for at least a week so I can see what happens.

Wish me luck!
