The OCM method

Tonight will be my first night starting the OCM method (oil cleansing method). I've been struggling with oily/ acne prone skin for years and I heard that this may help. The skin care companies always make oil seem like a bad thing for your skin when their products are really stripping oil that is good. The basic formula for this method is 50% castor oil and 5o% olive oil. But, depending on your skin type there are different oils that can help your problems. The formula i made was 50% castor oil, 25% grapeseed oil, 20% jojoba oil, and 5% tea tree oil (well like 5-10 drops). I made a witch hazel toner and added a little bit of jojoba and tea tree oil to that. At night I'm going to moisturize my face with grapeseed oil and during the morning I'm using a natural moisturizer that I bought at a store in the mall, its rose sandalwood based and its great for wearing it under make-up. I also made a hair moisturizer, Its water based and I added conditioner, jojoba oil and tea tree oil. In about a week I'll give the results from my first week! I have my fingers-crossed for this! Also expect a product review of shea moisture raw shea restorative conditioner, which I heard great things about, and also the body lotion. I purchased both today from target!
