LoriA: I'm looking for a replacement toner for when my obagi one runs out. They say you need the toner to bring your skin to the correct ph balance. I'm thinking I could kill a few birds with one stone buy switching to diluted ACV for a toner, I know it will take care of the ph issue, I've heard it can help with blackheads, and evening out the skin tone too among other things. I currently use ACV as a final rinse when I wash my hair so I've always got some in my bathroom. |
A good and inexpensive toner to use is also plain and simple Witch Hazel. |

Hi angelofthenorth, If I'm using the OCM I mix castor oil with either Jojoba, Grapeseed, Avocado, coconut or olive oil. I vary the ratio, usually 30 to 70. There are some great threads on the DYI forum on OCM. It was reading that site that I became interested in trying it. I went a bit crazy initially and brought a variety of oils, but I've yet to really notice a difference in what oil I mix with the Castor. They all feel and do the same job. Using Obagi has made my skin more on the drier side so I tend to use less castor oil. I thought OCM would make my skin greasy, but it doesn't! It actually feels really hydrated and soft, especially if you use a hot towel afterwards.
As for cleansers on par with the obagi?, I'm currently using Vichy Foaming Cream Cleanser. I've also tried La Roche Posay Physiological Cleansing gel and Olay gentle foaming Face wash from any drug store, a less expensive option, but just as effective. They all clean your skin without being drying. I think, personally for me it's the clarisonic that helps the most. I hope this helps. |
