Cleanse Herbal Cleansing Oil

This herbal cleansing oil has been a game changer for me and my family! Oil cleansing, when done properly, removes makeup, dirt, and oil from the skin without disrupting its delicate balance. If you have an oily or acne prone skin and are wary of using oil on your face, I urge you to give this a try, especially the frankincense formula. Remember, like dissolves like! Oil will dissolve excess oil and keep the skin hydrated and happy.

How to oil cleanse:

1. Wet an organic cotton pad with water, and then squeeze to remove excess water so the pad is damp. I like these cotton pads!

2. Apply a quarter sized amount of Cleanse oil onto the pad, and use circular motions to clean the face. Don't rush-- the pad and oil will help dissolve oil and remove dirt from the face. Use circular motions all over the face for 30-60 seconds, adding more cleanse oil if needed.

3. Wet the cotton pad again, wring out excess water. Turn the pad over and run it over the face to remove any remaining oil.

** I suggest using coconut oil to emulsify makeup and a fragrance free makeup wipe or face cloth to remove most makeup before using this oil cleansing method! Otherwise you may need a couple of rounds of oil cleansing to remove makeup and clean the skin**

4. Follow with Perfect Cream, or your favourite skincare. If you have an oilier skin you may notice that the moisture provided from the cleanse oil is enough for you!

I now offer two variations of Cleanse oil! They are very similar, but the frankincense formula has the addition of frankincense resin! This new formula may be a better option for those with acne prone skin, or those struggling with eczema, rosacea, or acne scarring. Frankincense increases cellular turnover, so it basically acts as a natural retinol! Even if you don't have acne prone skin you may wish to rotate between the two formulas!

FUN FACT: this oil has been used to successfully clear ear infections in dogs! If you notice your dogs ears becoming inflamed, itchy, or foul smelling you can use the oil to clean the ear, or drop 2-3 drops in each affected ear.
