For this cleansing oil review, we use the following skincare routine for 30 days:

- Gently rub the oil into the skin for about 30 seconds – 1 minute using a soft silicone exfoliating pad.

First time using cleansing oil?
It’s quite simple and there’s only a few things to keep in mind:
- Apply cleansing oils to dry skin!
- Oil cleansers work by dissolving other oils! This is why oil cleansers are amazing at removing stubborn oil-based makeup and waterproof sunscreen.
- Water and oil doesn’t mix, so if the skin is wet, the water prevents the cleansing oil from dissolving the oils on the skin.
- Double cleanse with facial soap.
- Remember, cleansing oils remove stubborn oil based makeup and sunscreen.
- It’s important to use facial soap to wash away the cleansing oil and all the impurities that the oil removed from the skin!
- If this oil isn’t washed off, it can cause the skin to react and start breaking out!
