Oil Cleansing

[@johnmichaelarnaud]

I feel this way about face oil in general. I've used all kinds and I always end up breaking out. That's DESPITE the fact that I enjoy wearing them in the moment.

[@AutumnElaine]

I'm assuming it's the same for Cleansing Balms & Cold Cream? I hope you can still use Micellar water! 😢

[@aaunyea4799]

Same, I just gave up on them

[@Nottoosweet19]

Try castor oil. I’m super prone to clogged pores. I can’t oil cleanse but I’m believer in castor oil now. CZcams the usage of it !

[@ziachurail1931]

You are used to use oils with a higher amount of oleic or lenoleic acid depending on whether your skin is dry or oily. So search for the respective oils but also check if they're comodogenic or not with a Google search. For oily skin, rosehip oil is great, for dry skin olive oil can work. Do a patch test though.

[@sjworrier0613]

I like face oils for face prep for when I’m using a matte foundation but that’s not a common thing, that’s a a couple times a month thing

[@tamsmith61]

I love oil cleansing, and I'm usually sensitive to everything! I DO NOT use coconut oil!

[@ScientificallyStupid]

I can't even imagine using straight coconut oil. I like actual cleansing oil that's formulated to emulsify with water and come off.

[@anisrazlan1837]

What'd you recommend?

[@kn3390]

​@anisrazlan1837 Not sure about others, but I've had really good results with DHC's Deep Cleansing Oil...it has only a few ingredients, rinses off easily with warm water, and is fairly affordable (IMO). It's pretty widely available, too: if you're in the US, Target now carries it...

[@tamsmith61]

DHC. It's awesome.

[@ScientificallyStupid]

@@anisrazlan1837 I have used DHC but I thought it was too drying after a while and it seemed more pricey than I want to pay for something I'm just washing off my face. I've been using Kose Softymo Deep cleansing oil for about two years now and I love it because it works really well (I can feel those sebaceous filaments getting dislodged) and doesn't irritate my eyes but it's relatively inexpensive and you can buy refills of it so you don't have to keep buying a brand new pump bottle. The refill is kind of a bag-envelope type thing and it's cheaper than the initial pump.

[@melissajay3218]

Amen to that. I've tried multiple times because I got brainwashed by the 'oil cleansing craze' and it actually gave me breakouts instead of helping. I was getting irritated skin on top of that and my dumbass still tried again because I thought I was doing it wrong those times I broke out 😅

[@LadyRawkuzOne]

Did you follow with a foam cleanser?

[@LizHolland76]

Tamanu oil works for breakouts.

[@melissajay3218]

​@@LadyRawkuzOne I do micellar water then foam cleanser

[@memoonasaeed4408]

Same 😢, have u found any alternative? Rubbing cotton pad with Micellar water also irritates my face and then gives acne , what i can do to remove makeup or water resistant sunscreen?

[@melissajay3218]

@memoonasaeed4408 That sucks man, I've been there and I feel your pain. There are just some things that work on most sensitive people, but not all. I'm just gonna put down what I use as a suggestion, but I STRONGLY encourage you to take time to patch test new things you get, and figure out what triggers skin irritation for you because it might be unique to you as an individual. Skin can be that unpredictable from person to person, based on my personal experience/ past fails ..... 😅
For micellar water, the only one that works for me is the SensiBio version from the brand Bioderma.
If you're swearing off any micellar water, then my current routine when I forget to use the micellar water, is to go in with PanOxyl 4% benzoyl peroxide cleanser (1 to 2 mins) and then a 2nd cleanse with Simple Micellar Facial gel wash (1 to 2 mins). I find this combo quite effective; for context my skin is sensitive, acne prone, and combination skin type. I recommend the Simple micellar gel cleanser - it's gentle but does a good job cleansing. And if it isn't enough you can go in with a 2nd cleansing gel like me. Generally, you can pair 2 cleansers that work for you to try this out, and most important about cleansing is how long you do it & how gentle you are when massaging it over your face. Doing it for 30 secs or less doesn't fully cleanse things from your face, nowadays I do 1 to 2mins to make sure the cleanser has enough contact time on my face to do its job. Also, how gentle your hands are when massaging the cleanser will help lessen the irritation, rubbing will lead to irritation, two tips that I found to help me be gentler in cleansing is (1) use your fingertips and not your whole hand, and (2) your fingertips should be gliding across the cleanser on your face, you shouldn't be using the same pressure like when you rub in a moisturiser or sunscreen.
Oops, this unintentionally became an essay. Not sure if this helps, but all the best to you in figuring it out~~ 💪💪

[@katefarella4883]

I love your tip about using a micellar water in lieu of an oil cleanse. I’m not a fan of oil cleansing myself (too many steps), but Bioderma’s micellar water has helped so much!

[@cathwalsh9921]

Do you use the bioderma first then use a proper wash off cleaner after?

[@KaiOpaka]

​@cathwalsh9921 I do Bioderma for sensitive skin, then Vanicream gentle cleanser.

[@alexandraoster7872]

I double cleanse every night and I love it, and I'm not even oily. I use Beauty of Joseons "Radiance cleansing Balm" and The Ordinarys "Glycolipid cream Cleanser ". I feel hydrated and super clean, and all my serums just melts in to my skin 🙌🏼💯🎉

[@heyitsemma.f]

I use the beauty of Joseon cleansing balm too! Honestly love it but im running low and cant afford shipping rn so im probablygoing to need to find something else. My dry/sensitive skin has always loved cleansing oils but they're so hard to find where I'm from 😢

[@winonapurple7957]

Oil cleansing is the only thing that stopped my breakouts

[@anisrazlan1837]

May I know what'd u use??

[@redpepper5984]

The key is warm oil cleansing followed by washing your face with extra warm water and regular face wash. The sebaceous filaments don’t dissolve in salicylic acid, and sometimes just face wash and lukewarm water can’t get them out, so extra warm/hot (not scorching hot) water can do the trick, followed by your face wash. Just like greasy dishes are best washed in extra warm water, same with our sebaceous filaments. You’re welcome.

[@kat_g6852]

👍🏼Interesting! I’ve been struggleling lately. But hmmm like how do you use the extra warm/hot water on your face? Isn’t that going to burn the face?

[@beev4289]

Oooo ill try this!

[@nina1996ization]

I oil cleanse, no break outs which I know is counter intuitive BUT I have very dry skin so it feels very comfortable and I'm always amazed that it cleans my skin is. Moogoo oil cleanser is amazing (removes eye make up easily) as is Neals Yard (Gorgeous on the skin not so great for eye make up). I don't double cleanse, I use moist face cloth to wipe it off and then splash with water and finish with rosewater. Then apply whatever serums etc I'm using atm. I have restarted to use a chemical exfoliant again a couple of times a week (Paula's choice AHA).

[@Nottoosweet19]

THANK YOU. oil cleansing was big in 2000s in asia. My mom bought me shu uemura in the cutest limited edition bottles. She loved it and it only clogged my pores. Same as DHC one which was also huge back then.

[@BenjaminHari]

I absolutely LOVE oil cleansing! I swear it made my skin more even in a week. I have dry and sensitive prone skin sometimes, I use Skin1004 Cleansing oil and only cleanser my face at night while I don't cleanse at all in the morning and just wash off lightly with water.
Also isn't it recommended that people with sensitive and acne prone skin to use micellar water instead?

[@linger368]

I have sensitive skin, but I love the SKIN1004 oil cleanser! But I have to wash my face in the morning. I experimented with washing my face with only water more than 3 times, but it always ended with my skin breaking out after I tried it for more than a week each time. It seems that my skin also doesn't like micellar water cleansing.

[@Maimelodie]

I also love ❤ this cleansing oil!! It is melting away makeup and doesn't leave an oily residue on the skin, like many other cleansers. I always double cleanse at night and use a gentle gel cleanser in the morning. This is working great for my rosacea

[@lesleyraynor-mike4318]

I use grapeseed oil for oil cleansing and it does not block or irritate my skin. Grapessed oil followed by micellar water. I DO NOT use coconut oil on my face or body, not even in my hair products if I can help it.

[@sjworrier0613]

Coconut oil in face products=NOPE… in hair products = ABSOLUTELY

[@kat_g6852]

Coconut oils has been AMAZING for me for years!! ONLY when used on clean face, I just leave it on for nourishment. I tried using it as a makeup remover and it kind of broke me out! Very interesting how different our skin can react using the same product!! 😅

[@jenm6476]

I double cleanse using First Aid Beautys oil cleanser and it is amazing for my sensitive, reactive skin - no breakouts! Of course, I do follow-up with another non-oil cleanser. It is great at removing make-up and mascara, no eye irratation.

[@janinebean4276]

It depends on the type of sensitivity. “If you’re sensitive like me” is a bit generic, so I would say “if you’re sensitive to breakouts from oils like me”. I’m sensitive to fragrances but a fragrance free oil cleanser is a hell yes for me :)

[@LeeLonerRipOwl]

I find jojoba oil to be much more tolerable for most people. It's what I used most when I practiced as an LMT. I have the opposite problem. I tend to break out when I don't use an oil-based cleanser, and my skin gets too dry. It's fascinating that everybody's skin is so unique!

[@simplyme8593]

Agree that coconut oil is RISKY for the skin. I love it for the hair though.
As for oil cleansing, my skin tends to be dehydrated most of the time and I find oil cleansing suitable and pleasant for me ❤

[@sjworrier0613]

C oil for the hair has proven to be amazing, Abby Young (I may have spelled that wrong) talks about it A LOT, esp for pre shampoo

[@tiffanybusby4248]

I adore my DHC olive oil cleanser but it doesn’t make me break out, is super gentle, and softens my skin. Then I wash with water (no soap) and then toner. Not a speck of eye makeup remains.

[@baisalipaul1859]

Can you please recommend a skincare routine for dry skin in a humid environment for removing sebaceous filaments as I've sebaceous filaments around my mental crease. And because of this sometimes I breakout often around my mental crease. Thanks in advance!!!!

[@abididubidi7815]

Whut?

[@nonamepainter]

I love doing a good oil cleanse about once a month or if I've been sick. I use a teeny bit of olive oil and rub for about 20 mins. Everything comes out! And my skin looks flawless after.

[@daciasdiy1861]

[@nonamepainter]

@@norahassan2372 oily, and yes, I do get acne from time to time.

[@Briimariexx_]

I tried using the Anua Heart Leaf Oil Cleanser and yeah it breaks me out just like this. I wanted it to work because it did leave my nose feeling super smooth and sebaceous filaments did appear to have improved. Unfortunately my skin doesn’t like it! Perhaps it’s just overkill for my skin? I work from home and rarely make contact with the outside world Mon-Thurs 🙃

[@writerchick94]

I use that cleaner but I follow it up with cereve and it works really well for me. Maybe try following it up with a cleanser you know works for your acne?

[@Briimariexx_]

@@writerchick94 I tried emulsifying the oil with water before using my cleanser but it still compromised my skin barrier. I used the la rosche posay hydrating cleanser( It doesn’t foam). I noticed majority of people who use oil cleansers follow up with a water-based foaming cleansers. Maybe I will try that!

[@AuraJG]

I always use coconut oil to clean my eye makeup only and it works perfectly, then I wash my face with a not oily cleanser, best thing ever!

[@treesoul00]

I’m like that with SA products they flair redness for me 😭 but I can use oils no problem. Even straight baby oil lol

[@abbiefish7422]

This is why it's so important for folks to find what works best for them instead of what the masses are trying to push. If I had paid more attention to my specific skin care needs, I would have been leaps and bounds ahead of where I am now with my skin

[@jaclynjoy1234]

I have oily, sensitive cystic acne prone skin. Coconut oil or olive oil makes me break out horribly. I started using Haruharu Black Rice cleansing oil followed by Wethepeople Green Tea Antioxidant cleanser. Now I only get a little bit of acne maybe a few times a month now, usually around my cycle. I also used to get loads of blackheads on my cheeks and chin but haven’t had new ones since I started this, and I think the oil cleansing (and some chemical exfoliants once weekly) helped with getting rid of my preexisting blackheads and closed comodones.

[@hills625]

i use 2 phased micellar water that has an oily consistency when you shake the bottle to mix both of the liquids. that’s the only thing that works for me as well as oil cleanse without breakouts

[@Okiepharmer]

I love Tatcha oil cleanser. Started using it 7 years ago and it completely changed my skin. But everyone doesn’t have the same skin & that’s ok.

[@time2livelife]

It might be that specific product or ingredient? Oil cleansing saved my skin in college and was also an affordable form of skincare. I used to use cold pressed, extra virgin olive oil from Trader Joe’s ($6 for a huge bottle). I have sensitive skin that is usually dry, for reference. I’m convinced that this is what cleared up my skin. I don’t do it as often anymore, but I still appreciate learning that life back from a Michelle Phan video way back when.

[@queenofhearts9186]

I cannot live without my oil facial cleanser. It’s the secret for all the compliments on my skin anyway

[@bobbidavis1106]

This is so absolutely perfect for me to hear.. I just for the first time bought an oil cleanser and I was using it ,and I couldn’t figure out what was going on with my skin. Why I kept on breaking out. I never even thought of the oil cleanser.. I just thought I was going through something, so I just seen this and said holy heck ..that’s not exactly what I said, but I wanted it to be nice.lol ..Thank you.

[@orenavinoam11]

Maybe try iUnik cleansing oil, it’s best for sensitive skin that breaks out easily

[@mflong100]

I love DHC oil. I actually stopped breaking out after using it. That said, most of my life, products other people love don’t work for me.

[@hegetv2111]

I have sensitive skin and use Banila Co Clean it Zero cleansing balm, and I love it. It contains mineral oil. Coconut oil breaks me out.

[@nishidataki_8460]

I really like it, it helps me to make my skin feel smooth and make it look cleaner.

[@halobaby0331]

I am very prone to breakouts and jojoba oil works really well as an oil cleanser. I use it to really get all my makeup/sunscreen off and then follow up with a nice foaming cleanser

[@mald379]

[@rachelr589]

Yes! Coconut oil makes me break out ALWAYS!

[@brutalhonesty6742]

That sucks. I love 🥥 oil. The scent is divine and how smooth it leaves my skin and hair is 🤌✨.

[@BenjaminHari]

You don't use ACTUAL oils to double cleanser because they can't emulsify when rubbing it and applying water.
Using random oils especially the ones that can clog and make you break out is not good if you're prone to acne.

[@miraera327]

You could try a Korean oil cleanser without coconut oil derivatives if you want to try again. I have oily skin and I double cleanse every night (oil cleanser then foam/cream/gel cleanser) and I love it and it never breaks me out. I also used to oil cleanse with just straight rosehip oil in the past and that didn’t break me out either

[@K.L.-]

Yeah I’ve learned facecare is def to each their own. I took your advice to use lanolin on my lips and I got an allergic reaction 😭 my lips are still healing (it’s been 2 weeks). Sad because it felt so nice but after using it for 3 days, my lips were soooooo itchy. Back to Vaseline for me 😔 love the suggestions but it’s up to my face whether or not I can stick with something.

[@sjworrier0613]

Lanolin is in a lot of the big lip masks … it’s the “secret” ingredient that makes everyone’s lips so smooth and why so many people will pay a lot for these products meanwhile lanolin itself is suoer affordable but yeah some people are sensitive to it :(

[@K.L.-]

[@seechangenyc280]

I despised oil cleansing until I found a product (and I was highly skeptical) that works like a dream - and I break out from everything. It’s by Apothaka skincare and it’s their EO-free oil cleanser and then I follow it up with Vanicream cleanser. I wear a really tenacious water-resistant sunscreen (EVY Kids) and I found this to be one of the only products that didn’t irritate my highly sensitive skin and gets it off my face!

[@emily.toombs]

Tatcha’s oil cleanser is the only one that didn’t break me out out of the 4 I’ve tried. However, it wasn’t worth the price point for a face wash for me.

[@aellalee4767]

Fair.
I'm the opposite. I tried acidic stuff for years once I start getting acne (when I was 11 😕).
When I was 19 I tried an oil cleanser and my skin has been mostly clear ever since from pizza face.
(No coconut oil for my face unless it's taking off makeup)

[@dorothyj1304]

You may be slightly sensitive- allergic so keep trying oils. Everyone loves argan pil for me its a meh but almond oil - my akin loves ❤️ loves it

[@sjworrier0613]

I like using cleansing balms (like the Clinique one) to get rid of makeup, trulllly dislike cleansing oils though… I have tried, I have a solid five or six in my bathroom, the most recent I got from Amazon the k beauty brand everyone seems to love that was the best of the bunch but only halfway as good as a balm so yeah.

[@adrianpaulo7302]

Actually got my first cleansing oil the other day from shoppee 😂 its like amazon. 2 nights using it. So far it never broke me out. My face feels so much cleaner and smoother! I have a sensitive combination type and I bought the skin 1004 centella light cleansing oil. It's soo goood. Oh and btw i double cleanse with vanicream gentle cleanser ❤

[@Maimelodie]

I am a bit confused. Some people in the comments speak about cleansing with oil (like grape seed oil) and cleansing with cleansing oil when referring to 'oil cleansing '. But I feel like these are two very different things. 🤔 I love cleansing oil for removing makeup because even the most gentle micellar water burns on my eyelids. Cleansing oil washes off easily, though, and I always double cleanse. I remember reading about cleansing with olive? oil and a warm cloth, back in the day, and when i tried that to get rid of my acne, it went horribly wrong. It felt greasy on the skin and broke me out so much more. So I feel like there should always be more information about what someone us referring to when saying 'oil cleansing'

[@Emmie1]

Yeah people need to specify if they're using an oil cleanser (oil-based cleanser that emulsifies with water) or the oil cleansing method (massaging straight up oils into the skin then washing it off with a warm washcloth). Those are very different methods and the second one tends to break people out the most if they don't use the correct oils for their skin or remove it properly.

[@abididubidi7815]

I feel like both of these methods can work, with one not being necessarily better or worse than the other. Maybe people into natural care prefer to use oils instead of oily products. I bought this korean ''black deep cleansing oil'' (forgot the brand name) recently and am not sure if I like it, there seems to be some of it left throughout all of the steps of my skincare, and I don't know if that's good. Also don't know how to feel about some of the ingredients. Going to try with a small amount of castor oil and sweet almond oil next, if you want i can post the results ✌️

[@MazzyKat]

I love unscented mineral oil as my oil cleanse, I learned this from Dr dray years ago and it works for my acne prone skin. But I know it is not for everyone! I love sulfur for my rosacea ❤

[@averykitsch]

Oil cleansing is great for getting off makeup... but still wash the oil off!
Coconut oil is non-comedogenic.. on its own but if you're washing with it it's probably not getting everything off your face. And we also have to keep in mind that all skins are different and interact differently with everything. So use with caution.

I avoid coconut oil cleansers but enjoy the balm type and then follow with a water based cleanser. I consider my skin very sensitive. I’ve been in other skincare and beauty forums and my biggest takeaway is YMMV: you mileage may vary.

How do you do your hair? Its pretty

As someone with sensitive/oily skin, I cannot do cleansing/face oils. Micellar water, certain serums, and maybe one cream moisturizer? Sure. But for the love of the gods, recommend me coconut oil and my brain just flatlines 😅
(DISCLAIMER: No shade to anyone that oils work for, this is just my own experience)

My grandmother used to wash her face with Noxema and had the most beautiful skin ever. No wrinkles. She was in her mid 80s when she slowly started to get jowls. What ever happened to that product and what was in it. Does anyone know?

They still sell it in supermarkets, drug stores etc. but you have look at the bottom shelves. As for the ingredients - camphor and menthol are the only two I remember.

I’m curious what oils ur using

[@jilliansmith8080]

Yup oil cleansing breaks me out around the nose.... balms are fine But straight up oil nope.

Hanskin Pore Cleansing Oil BHA is the absolute BOMB. I have combo/oily skin, and breakout easily. This product has helped my skin immensely.
