what is oil cleansing

The oil cleansing method is a skincare technique that involves using natural oils to cleanse the skin. It is based on the principle that "like dissolves like," where the oils used for cleansing help to lift excess sebum, clean out clogged pores, and remove dirt, makeup, and pollutants from the skin. The oil is massaged into the skin and then removed with a warm, damp washcloth. Some common oils used for oil cleansing include olive oil, castor oil, jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, coconut oil, argan oil, and others. The method is sometimes used for treating acne and is believed to have benefits for different skin types, although it may not be suitable for sensitive skin. It is also recommended to follow the oil cleanse with a gentle water-based cleanser to remove any lingering residue
