REVIEW: Oil Cleansing Method

 I love the Oil Cleansing Method! I think the pictures speak for themselves. Prepared to be frightened. Nah, it's not so bad, but the only way to prove it is to get up close and personal, right?

In all of these photos, I'm wearing my daily makeup which consists of eyeliner, mascara and filled in brows.

BEFORE taken 7/26/2008

When I look at these befores I see 

Uneven skin tone

Dark under eye circles (always had 'em and my biggest beauty problem)

Blemish on the left cheek

Blemishes around hairline

Clogged pores in nose, cheeks and chin

Reddish nostrils from broken capillaries under the skin (always had 'em)

BEFORE

The very first time I used OCM and every time thereafter, I felt whiteheads and blackheads slip out of my pores as I was massaging! I suddenly was aware of what felt like tiny grains of sand under my fingers during the cleansing. Nasty to think about, yes, but awesome as far as results.

The oil and massaging motion gently loosens and removes the hardened gunk in pores to leave skin clear and clean! And because the skin is no longer overproducing oil to compensate for being dried out by commercial cleansers, the pore clogging cycle is stopped and pores can soon shrink back to their natural size. 

AFTER taken 8/07/2010

When I see the afters (or look in the mirror now!) I notice:

More even skin tone all over

Fewer clogged pores in nose, cheeks and chin

Healing blemishes on hairline

No blemish on left cheek!

Lighter under eye circles

Nostril area doesn't seem as red

This one was taken with flash near a window. I was struck with how it looks like I have under eye concealer in this photo, but I wasn't wearing any.

No flash. Same window.

I really love this natural way of taking care of my skin! For me, the results speak for themselves and I will definitely continue with this.

Can you tell I've lost a couple of pounds? Woohoo! Because I'm eating more fresh goodies like this:

Mmmmm! Finding out more about natural beauty treatments and seeing how good they are for me really has me interested in taking better care of myself, inside and out. Adding all the fresh produce to my intake of  kefir and kombucha tea is making me feel great! Once detox is over, I should have even more energy. I'm looking forward to it.

Start your journey to naturally clearer, healthier skin! If you try OCM please let me know how it worked for you! Baking soda hair washing review to be posted soon.
