Ingredients Required For Oil Cleansing

Oil is not the only ingredient that is required to do a good oil cleansing on your face or body. You will also need a clean piece of white cloth and some tepid water. In a glass, keep hot water ready, as you will need this immediately after applying the oil. The water becomes lukewarm by the time you apply it on your face and body.

How To Do Oil Cleansing On The Skin?

Take a scoop of the oils you have mixed according to your skin type on your palms.
Rub the palms against each other such that they warm up and the oil is ready to be applied.
First, apply the oil all over your skin, especially focusing on areas that you think are very dirty.
Next, massage the oil mixture in a circular motion for the face and abdoman. For the hands and legs, you can follow a linear pattern.
Continue doing this, until you think your skin is saturated and the oils have dissolved.
Once your skin is oil soaked, take the white cloth, immerse it in warm water and squeeze.
Now, place the white cloth on areas where you applied the oil and let it be for 10 minutes. For the body, you can use a towel to do this process.
Lastly, with a tissue or cotton pad, wipe off all the regions where you massaged the oil.
Do not wash, cleanse or moisturize until the next day.
