I miss you already.

Oil Cleansing Method

So I bought a small bottle of Castor Oil at SDM a few weeks back. Seeing as I am feeling down in the dumps, and refusing to go out and play…I figured this would be a good time to try it out, especially if it totally screws up my skin. I started on Tuesday.

First I am using the Life brand Castor Oil, and Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
As of the moment, I am using a roughly 25% Castor : 75% EVOO.
The problem lies in the fact that my skin, though soft, is producing more oil. It is slicker than it normally is in the morning, and in a few hours, slick yet again.

I mean others mentioned that they noticed a difference right away. Some complained that it made their skin way too dry. So what does my skin decide to do? Go the other extreme.

Anyway I will be upping the Castor oil ratio, but I want to do it a bit gradually, just in case I can still mess up my skin. So far though, no problems. I’m massaging it for a little over 10 minutes (soooo tedious…), and steaming. One other thing I noticed though, is that I don’t get these ‘plugs’ that everyone else was talking about. So perhaps my solution is way too soft. Perhaps once I start upping the ratio, I will get the results that everyone else seems to be getting.

I hope so, cause I imagined miracles with this baby!

But then again, maybe that’s why…
