Our
Herbal Cleansing Oil transforms skin by balancing and nourishing the skin while deeply removing impurities such as dirt, pollution, sunscreen and makeup. If you are hesitant to try an oil cleanser, don't worry - I was too. But once I did, my skin no longer had areas of oiliness, irritation and dry patches that surfactant based cleansers caused.
What is Oil Cleansing and Why Should You Use It?
Oil cleansing is a method that uses plant based oils to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, excess oil, and impurities without stripping your skin’s natural moisture factor (NMF).
This approach is rooted in the idea that “like dissolves like,” meaning oil attracts and removes oil-based impurities without stripping the skin.
A few reasons why we love it -
- Balances Skin: It works for all skin types, including oily and sensitive skin.
- Nourishing unprocessed Ingredients: Our Cleansing oil is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and essential fatty acids.
- Prepares the Skin: Enhances absorption of subsequent skincare products like toners and serums.
Step-by-Step Guide
-
Start with Dry Skin
Ensure your hands and face are completely dry. This allows the oil to properly bind to the impurities and excess sebum on your skin.
-
Dispense the Right Amount
Take 4-5 pumps of our Herbal Cleansing Oil. Rub it between your fingers to gently warm.
-
Massage Gently
Apply the oil to your face in gentle, circular motions. Spend about 1-2 minutes massaging, focusing on areas with makeup, congestion, or excess oil. Breathe deeply and immerse yourself in this ritual.
-
Add Warm Water to Emulsify
Wet your hands with warm water and continue massaging. The cleanser will emulsify, turning into a milky consistency lifting away impurities.
-
Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse with warm water and gently remove the oil with a soft, warm, damp cloth.
-
Follow Up with a Second Cleanser (Optional)
If you practice double cleansing, follow with a gentle water-based cleanser like our Herbal Grains to remove any remaining impurities for a fresh, hydrated complexion.
When to Use our Herbal Cleansing Oil
Suitable for cleansing both in the morning and evening. If you practice double cleansing, it is important to do this ritual in the evening to minimise sensitivity. Ensure you follow through with a
toner and
serum or
cream.
