Those look lovely. Will have to try that out soon.
Another one that I am using and really liking as it is a breeze to remove.
Whatever OCM and EO mix you are using for your skin type and add 10% of total volume or a tad less of polysorbate 20. It rinses off beautifully. |

Someone read my mind. I've procrastinated on starting this thread for 2 days.  I like oil cleansing because surfactants just eat the skin off my face. But the whole steaming the skin thing is a no-go for me. It does horrible things to my skin.
I'm going to try the polysorbate thing. Sounds good. I also make a cleansing milk that works nicely to remove all makeup and pats off easily with a damp face cloth.
30% Rice bran oil
5% e-wax
65% distilled water
1 tsp glycerin per 100mls of emulsion.
Melt the wax in the oil, add water and whizz with a stick blender. Creates a liquid milk cleanser that hydrates the skin while removing all traces of makeup. Massage on and pat off with a damp facecloth. Leaves skin clean and hydrated. Super gentle without being oily. |
