Two Choices in Cleansing Oil for Face
- FOR OILY/ACNE PRONE with special oils specially chosen to cleans and not clog pores
- FOR MATURE SKIN with oils chosen to help with the impact of aging.
Use the power of oil to clean and dissolve skin oil, make-up, debris, and old skin.
The idea of cleansing your face with oil to prevent blackheads and Milia may sound strange to some people but the Oil Cleansing Method (OCM) or Oil Cleansing Treatment (OCT) makes a lot of sense. When we clean our face, we want to remove oil, sebum and dirt. Oil can do this in a much more gentle and effective way.

Oil cleans oil, I’ve known this for a long time and often use oil to remove other old or unwanted oils on objects. Oils have worked well to remove tar from my feet and even had some impact on getting it off towels. It also works to get off sticky substances off of objects or to clean hardened oil off of cooking surfaces.
Knowing this, I see no reason why oil isn’t a great substance to use on those oils blocking our pores.
A Good Cleansing Oil for Face Can Open Blockages
True, oil is also the cause of blockages but it is internal oil called sebum. Sebum is nature’s way of cleansing our pores of dead skin cells. However, sometimes this doesn’t go exactly to plan. Too much sebum or other complications can mean that the sebum clumps up with skin and hair and gets trapped in our pores. This can cause bacteria to develop which become pimples.
Blackheads occur similarly, forming when our natural oil gets trapped in a hair follicle and the oil oxidizes and turns dark. While there is no infection related to blackheads, most of us would prefer not to have them.
For years I’ve been told to be careful using things that will block my pores, especially oil-laden lotions and makeup. I was told to look for non-comedogenic products to prevent my pores from getting clogged.
Milia can be Helped by using an Cleansing Oil for Face
When I began getting those small white pumps around my eyes as I got older called milia ( small epidermal inclusion cysts) I was strongly urged to use only oil-free or water-based products on my face by an esthetician in order to avoid milia and blackheads. I followed her advice for several years but still got those white spots.
All accepted wisdom needs to be questioned now and then. I still agree that oil-laden and greasy things left on the skin for too long is likely to block pores. However, it seems to me the right oils used properly can prevent and maybe even lessen blackheads and milia by loosening up stubborn sebum and allowing it to be cleansed away.
It may be coincidental but ever since I’ve been using high-quality pure oils to gently cleanse my face, I have no white bumps on my face, eyelids or around my eyes and even the bumps that are deep in my skin under my eyes are less noticeable and bumpy.
This comes in a 2 oz bottle with a treatment pump. A little goes a long way.
Cleansing Oil Directions:
Prepare skin by resting a warm washcloth on the face to open up pores. Massage oil onto the skin for at least a minute, allowing oil to work on old skin oils and pick up dirt, skin, make-up, and dirt on face. The oil will start to feel gritty when it is actively picking up debris. Gently wipe away with soft warm wash cloth. Repeat if desired. Some oil can remain on the skin after use, this is okay.
Remember, avoid overzealous cleaning or scrubbing which can cause inflammation and pore damage which can cause acne or aging.

I use the oil cleanser after the scrub. I appreciate not using soap on my face. Since beginning to use these fabulous products that Brenda has so carefully produced, I have not used soap on my face and it never feels dry. As I age, all of these products help my skin age graceful and feel so soft to the touch. I’m in for the long haul and am confident it my skin will show the care I have given it. Love you Brenda!

This has helped my skin so much. It did take some getting used to using an oil versus a traditional cleanser but my skin could definitely tell a difference and it shows. Cleans and moisturizes and doesn’t dry out my skin.

This product was a part of my first purchase from Brenda. I discovered these products (and met Brenda) at a Folk Festival in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. From that day on, I have never used soap on my face again. I was skeptical, but it did not take long for me to see the benefits of this Face Cleanser, I will never go back to soap! I use this in the shower (or evening face washing) after I use the Soda Scrub. I put one pump in my palm, rub my hands together and massage all over my face as well as my neck and decolletage (just below your neck). I use my washcloth to just pat my face, I do not rub or scrub with my washcloth.

I have noticed my skin not being as stripped when I wash my face. It is a bit drying for my combination skin; however I think I’ll just get the anti-aging one and alternate because the cleanser is great. nnUpdate tried the one for aged skin. Beautiful p
