OCM for washing your face

...for your face. How often do you do it?

There doesn't seem to be a "Do it every day; Every other day; once a week" on any site I find. What do you do in your personal experience?

All I could find is they say to not do it too often. Now, I'm used to washing my face 2-3x a day, so already cutting down to only bedtime is "not often" for me. 

TIA!~

Re: OCM for washing your face

  • I just started OCM 2 weeks ago. My skin is funny so I am only washing every other day with it. I am not sure I have the correct combo/ amounts of oils yet. But I have noticed an improvement in my skin. My oily skin is much less oily. My horrible acne is still there but not worse. Different combos and maybe upping the amount I use OCM will help.
  • erollis, thanks for replying! I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that my oily skin is less oily when washing with oil, too! It's a bit crazy!

    I did 2 parts castor to 1 part sunflower oil (per the recipe on OCM.com) and it was actually kind of drying. I don't think my skin is as oily as I always thought while I was using the oil-free cleaners (clean and clear, neutrogena, etc)

    It's my understanding that it'll take a week or so before the acne starts to go away, I have that same problem...but I can't help but pick at scabs on my face. I need to wear mittens for a couple weeks, it seems.
