I wrote a post about being a natural woman a while back. This pin from Pinterest is part of that inspiration. Well, I've been washing my face with oil for almost 3 months now and the results are fantastic! I've mixed 1 part olive oil with 1 part castor oil and it seems just right for my skin. During really cold weeks, I've needed a little more olive oil to keep my skin from feeling dry. Everyone once in a while I'll use Skin Rever-Upper from Bare Minerals to keep it smooth.
I smooth the oil on my face while my shower is warming up. I get a washcloth hot and lay it over my face for about a minute. I then rinse the washcloth and lightly wipe/scrub my face to remove the oil. It feels great and works well.
I was keeping it in a baby food jar on my counter until a trip to Honduras in December. Those suckers don't seal up so well in the luggage, apparently. While we were in a third world country, I didn't really have access to olive oil and castor oil so I washed my face with bar soap. My skin broke out like never before. I decided to use Cetaphil after we got back in hopes that it would clear up. NOPE! As soon as I went back to my oil mixture, my skin started behaving itself again. I don't think I'll ever use another facewash again!
