OCM update
I had asked about OCM (oil cleansing method) back in June. After reading up on it I decided to only use the oil every other day. I found it could be drying. Some people experience increased oil/ acne until their skin adjusts. Well it is starting to work. My super oily skin is much better. Normally my nose would start shining halfway through the day. Now most days it wont get much of a shine at all. My acne is still there but it isn't any worse and my skin is softer.
When I finish this bottle I'll try a different mix (I'm 75% castor and 25% olive now) and see if that helps any. Maybe add some lavender so it doesn't smell like salad dressing when I wash. I will also start washing with it once a day and see how that goes. I also read it takes time to find the perfect mix for ones skin.
