    Default Oil cleansing method

    Has anyone tried this and had successful results?? I have been reading about it online, claiming that it not only gets rid of acne, but it will help reduce the size of your pores, and generally make your skin smoother. If you have tried it please let me know what your experience was! I'm almost 28 and my acne needs to go ASAP. Too old for this kinda issue.

    my friend and other girls on these forums swear by it. I just started. My friend recommended hemp oil and tanaka face massage.

    it's because the oil draws out the impurities. Normally what happens is you will break out when you start a deep cleaning method or treatment because everything gets drawn to the surface.

    I haven't been devout with it, but I began using Extra Virgin Olive Oil at the end of the day, and I noticed an improvement overnight. It has helped with sebaceous filaments, blackheads, and the appearance of my pores. I also started using CeraVe cleanser in the morning, which seems to have complimented the OCM. I haven't had bad acne on my face for years though, so I'm not sure how it affects breakouts. My main issues were the ones that I listed above and my face becoming oily, which also seems to have been helped by the OCM.

    Recently though, I had a major issue with folliculitis. I had gone to a dermatologist because my skin was a little lackluster, and within a week, I had this horrible breakout-looking monstrosity all over my chest and upper arms. It continued for over two months before I had slight relief, then it came back. I started using tea tree oil as a last hope, and it has made my skin look wonderful. Although it cannot prevent acne, it can help to clear up underlying infections that may be causing breakouts, and if the "acne" is actually misidentified folliculitis (which is very common), then it'll work for that too. It is quite strong, so you may need to dilute it, but I really recommend you look into it. I was in tears over my skin at one point; it was so bad, and it was sometimes painful. I put tea tree oil on it and by the next morning, it was about 60% better. I've been using it since then and it's almost completely gone now.
