Even though the words oil, cleansing, and acne seem like complete misfits, you’d be amazed by the way things would turn out for you if you took my advice and followed this simple daily skincare routine to get clear acne-free skin.
My favorite face oils are jojoba oil, followed by rosehip oil and camelia seed oil!
For centuries, people from all over the world have extracted potent oils from different plants and herbs to gain from their powerful healing properties. For these people, ‘oils’ have always been a holy grail!
The OCM method (short for oil cleansing method) is simply using pure oils to clean your skin or impurities and hydrate it at the same time.
The OCM method uses potent oils to dissolve the accumulated oils that have hardened on your skin along with the skin impurities and pollutants that clog your pores.products and wasting money? Are you tired of following lengthy skincare routines?

Here are 4 reasons why you should use the oil cleansing method for acne:
There are many cleansing oils present in the market that are quite expensive and contain huge quantities of preservatives and chemicals.
There are many other oils in the market right now, but they often contain preservatives and harmful chemicals that can ruin your skin in the long run.
I have dry, prone to acne skin and I have been using these 3 oils for the past two years and they work like a charm! These oils have helped me deal with my unwanted acne problems, the scaring that remains on the skin long after the pimples are gone, fine lines, and dark circles.
The 3 magical oils are:
The jojoba plant grows in North America. It is a perennial plant that thrives even in the harshest and ragged climates that kill most living beings. This plant produces a nut that has many healing properties. Jojoba oil is extracted from this nut. You can use this oil with other oils and even on its own.
Jojoba oil should be your dark knight because it is moisturizing and has humectant ingredients, which seal the skin with a protective barrier to prevent it from losing moisture. This helps in preventing bacterial infections and acne as well.
Jojoba oil also has antioxidant properties and Vitamin E, which helps skin fight oxidative stress caused by pollutants and toxins due to daily exposure.
It’s non-comedogenic unlike all the other ready-made oils mentioned in this article earlier.
It is also hypoallergenic, so unlike other botanical essential oils, it is nonirritating and allergic reactions are rare.
It helps speed up wound healing, soothes eczema, sunburns and other drying conditions and helps treat acne, reduces the appearance of visible fine lines, wrinkles and scarring. Available on Amazon at $9.99 for 4oz.
The ancient Egyptians and Native Americans used Rosehip oil because of its amazing healing properties. It is harvested from the seeds of rose bushes.
Rosehip oil can work as a natural alternative to moisturizers due to its high fatty acid content.
This oil has the potential to treat wrinkles because it contains skin-boosting ingredients such as anti-inflammatory fatty acids and vitamins A and C. It brightens the skin giving it an even tone, fades scars and exfoliates your skin due to its high antioxidant content.
You should seriously consider adding this to your daily skin care routine because this oil can give you a firm, elastic skin texture that is protected from toxin exposure.
Available on Amazon at $12.99 for 1oz.
The Camellia oil, also known as tea seed oil, is an edible, pale amber-green fixed oil with a sweet, herbal aroma.
This oil offers many therapeutic and healing properties:
– antioxidant qualities and resists rancidity.
– contains Cicatrizant, which repairs wounds and scrapes on the skin and is used in medical formulas.
– anti-aging effects and protects the skin from free radical damage, all thanks to the high number antioxidants present in it. It also promotes skin cell regeneration.
Camellia seed oil is an amazing moisturizer for the skin because it contains high oleic acid omega 9 content.
Available at $7 for 1oz.
Well-known Dermatologists like John H. Stokes and Donald M. Pillsbury proposed a mechanism that states the origins of acne are clearly linked to depression and anxiety https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21281494 . The emotional tremors affect the intestinal micro flora, which contributes to systematic inflammation. Probiotics influences other problems like oxidative stress and even mood itself may have an important impact on acne. In order to truly get rid of acne, it is important to heal yourself from within.
So, the next time you think about treating your acne, do it the organic way through the oil cleansing method.

Can I use the Jojoba, Rosehip and Camellia oil all at once on my face? I have oily, sensitive acne prone skin.
Regards.
Hi Kay, Yes you can use all 3 combined, however, if you have never used any of those oils before, I would first try jojoba oil for a month. The simpler the better!
