Well, it's been a few weeks of using the OCM for my face...and I LOVE it! It's worked so wonderfully that last week for my week of my favorite time of the month, my face, which would normally have some bad breakouts, was virtually spot free! Woo hoo!
I ended up adding a bit more olive oil to my mixture, to where I'm pretty sure it's a 50/50 mix of the olive oil and castor oil. I think with my next batch, I may try adding more EVOO, only because I'm still a little dry in spots, and am still having to use moisturizer. I also added about 10 drops of tea tree oil last week when my face started showing signs of breakouts. I love tea tree oil...smells great and it's great for just about anything you can think of! Side note: I did a food trial with J last week, that didn't go so well. :( He had a killer open wound diaper rash from it, but a few drops of tea tree oil in his wipes water (plus Baby Junk Healing Oil alternated with CJ's Butter) healed the open spots up wonderfully!
So here's the routine right now. If I wear makeup..I use the OCM. When I wake up in the morning..it's a cold water rinse. If I have a lazy day here and there ;) where I wear no makeup...it's just a rinse! At first I was rubbing it into my eyelashes, and ended up having blurry vision for a while after! Yikes, now I just put it around my eyes, and have no issues getting my eye makeup removed at all!
Matt says I'm obsessed with my "oil wash", because of how long I spend doing it! Heehee! How relaxing (and cheap he should realize!) to get a facial massage, have my face steamed with a hot washcloth, and how nice and soft my skin is!
