Oil Cleansing

Oil cleansing is a method that restores the face to its natural harmonious balance. Since it actually regulates the skin and controls oil production, oil cleansing reduces acne without stripping the skin of its natural oils or healthy bacteria.

Since oil absorbs oil, it is a safe and effective way to remove dirt and makeup. The oil binds to the dirt and lifts it away. The oil is able to cleanse the skin without over drying or causing irritation. Depending on the type of oil being used, it is suitable for all skin types such as sensitive, dry, combination, and oily skin. 

Oil cleansing helps to unclog pores, hydrate the skin, reduce inflammation, and balance the skin. The skin doesn’t need to be squeaky clean from foaming cleansers and chemicals to be clean. Sometimes these very products are what prolongs our imbalances.

Twice a day, we have the opportunity to help our skin on its journey of self healing. Take this time to give yourself a nice facial massage for a couple minutes to stimulate circulation. By bringing blood flow to the face, we are nourishing our skin cells.

This can be followed with Gua Sha which promotes lymphatic drainage and depuffing or continued with the rest of your routine.
