@addictedtochaos To add on to that: I tend to go with grape seed oil and buy it at the grocery store! If itās safe enough to ingest, then itās safe for my skin!
And itās much, much cheaper than ācosmeticā oil.
@addictedtochaos I wouldnāt recommend using coconut oil because itās super comedogenic. And nothing will change anything magically! Itās a process. The process just happened to work surprisingly fast for me.
I donāt leave it on, I just rub it around the same way I would if it was soap, to get the dirty oil and grime (and makeup, if any) off, then wipe it off with the wrung-wet cloth. Youād think oil requires some scrubbing to remove, but no. Just wipe off, no rubbing necessary.
@addictedtochaos Technically yes. Sadly, thatās not ways the case, especially with acne-prone skin. The oil mix cleans by replacing dirty oil with clean oils. Then the hydrating oil works by keeping your skin not to produce so much of it. In my experience, acne products just strip the skin of any sort of hydration, which just makes the problem worse, as oil production goes in overdrive.
Now that I know what properly hydrated skin feels like, I know mine has always been oily or stripped.
@addictedtochaos Do know that lots of sites make it sound super complicated. Donāt get me wrongāthe whole hot towel ritual can be nice! I just havenāt found it necessary in any way. Castor oil plus another one, use that to wash (and it works great taking off makeup too, even on the eyes!), wipe off, hydrate. Boom, done! The rest is cherries on top.
If you try it, I hope it works as well for you as it did to me. I honestly thought Iād have acne until I died.
@Blaze This sent me on a whole bunch of link clicking! Iāve managed to beat my picking habit in the face, but it got taken over by picking my shoulders. Im super lucky that my face never scarred but my shoulders most certainly doā¦

@addictedtochaos Castor oil as the thing people used to take for constipation š
I buy mine at the pharmacy. A tiny bottle lasts forever.
