Honey
 
I use honey to wash my face everyday and use EVO as my moisturizer. 2-3 times I'll use the honey and leave on like a mask for 10 min. I havent had a breakout (only when its that time in the month) but other than that my skins clear! I read this info in "Beauty Secrets of the Bible" by Ginger Garret:)

LunasMomma 02-05-2008 12:30 PM
Now I have several more ideas......jojoba oil, coconut oil, honey.....just in case the EVOO doesn't work out in the long run I can try other stuff:D

Thanks for sharing, everyone:D It's so great to be able to come here and get ideas for not only sharing about our babies, but also things to help make our lives better too;)

I finally got my stuff too---------been a few days and I am loving it.

I wake up with a rosy, healthy and non-greasy morning face!

I am also going to henna my hair next weekend---having over a few gal pals and we are all jumping in together. Should be fun. The food and wine won't hurt either.

I also took the plunge and got myself a Diva Cup. Can I just say--"Why didn't I have this the past 30 years!!!"

This is the second day I've done mine. I had a REALLY bad break out the day before I started, so I don't think I'll notice any huge difference immediately, but i have noticed my skin looks healthier, and feels better! Mom even mentioned that it was looking better.

YAY! Im so glad it's working so well for you guys!! You're supossed to see the most results after 3-4 weeks so think of how great your skin will look then!

Bonnie's Mom 02-07-2008 12:47 PM
I think I may try this. Lets just say I am pushing 50 :eek: and still have oily skin. It drives me crazy!

Well - I never would have dreamed of putting "OIL" on my face. But I'm very pleased with the results too!!

TatumsMom 02-25-2008 12:58 PM
Okay, so I finally tried it. I was visiting my best friend out of town this weekend and told her about it. She was so excited that we went out and bought the stuff (little containers and all) and mixed some up. She went with a different combination than I did because she's not as oily.

We both LOVE it. It was really exciting to wake up without such an oily face. I've only used it twice now (one night and one morning) so if it's supposed to get even better by 3-4 weeks, I can't wait to see the results!

One thing that was holding me back was that it's more time consuming than just using a cleanser but it really takes less than a minute for the washcloth to cool down so it wasn't all that bad.

I highly recommend this and will continue to spread the word!

SladesMommy 03-20-2008 09:06 PM
How is this working for everyone? I'm soo bad about not washing my face at night. I think it would be working MUCH better for me if I was doing it everyday. It definitely hasn't made my skin any worse, which is a great thing since many of the cleansers i've used have made me look twice as bad!

I've been at it for two months now and I'm still loving it. Really, the best thing I've ever done for my face.:thumbup: :)

Bonnie's Mom 03-21-2008 05:04 AM
I love it. I'm bad about not washing mine every night too, but I've found this is much more effective if I use it morning and night. I'm still having to use moisturizer.

If you're still using moisturizer, try cutting down the amount of castor oil or adding a little bit more of the EVOO/jojoba oil.

I love it! I have kinda fallen off the wagon for a little bit with being out of town and all, but my face is still looking great! I also recently quit taking BC pills and I was afraid my face would flare up after, but nothing!

I use about 65% castor oil, 35% jojoba oil. Changing from the EVOO to the jojoba has really made a big difference for me. I do it only at night, though. In the morning I use the Purpose facial cleanser. I found that if I did it in the morning, my make up would melt off my face. I am going to start being more deligent about it, though.

Im so glad it's working this great for everyone!

I did adjust the amounts and it helped a lot, but I still have a little flakyness (guess because I'm old :rolleyes: ) I also found that taking a shower in the morning was drying my face out even though I don't use soap on it or anything. The past few weeks I've been using this on my face while I'm in the shower and it has made a tremendous difference. :thumbup:

Are you using the EVOO in your mix? If you are, I would suggest switching to jojoba oil and see if that makes a difference..

This is all about trial and error and finding the solution perfect for your skin..I had to work with mine a little bit, too.

I'm using coconut oil (which we use for everything). Why do like the jojoba oil better? And Bonnie's mom - I never thought about doing it in the shower. Great idea! I'll have to try it.

I love this regime. Like so many of you, I fell off the wagon for a few weeks while I've been busy and distracted. But I started being unhappy with my skin, so I started back up and in two days, I feel better!!

I love finding treasures like this on YT!

KitKat 03-21-2008 05:09 PM
I was doing this a few months ago and really liked it! I think I'm going to start back up today. Thanks for the thread! :thumbup: :)

FL Tink 03-21-2008 05:11 PM
I have been doing it for 3 weeks. I love it!
I have noticed my face is more moist and fewer fine lines.:D
I dont have acne so I have no comparison for that!

What does the jojoba oil do that's different from the EVOO?? And where do you find jojoba oil?

I've been doing the OCM for about a month maybe and my face is great! My pores seem so much smaller. Right now I'm seeing problems because our water heater (a Rinnai) is out (thank goodness it is under warranty) so we've been without hot water for a week while they wait for the part to be shipped! :eek: I'm having to go to my MIL's house close by to take a hot shower every night and that's when I clean my face but in the morning since I have to use cold water to wash my face, I use my Arbonne cleanser. I can tell a big difference since I haven't been using the OCM twice a day. Can't wait to get back to it!

IluvLucy 03-23-2008 04:30 AM
I've been using DHC olive oil cleansers for the face for years. I've always loved it. Olive oil is great!

TatumsMom 07-10-2008 03:32 PM
Thought I'd bring back this thread and see if anyone is still using the OCM. I still do and it's been great. No more super oily face! It's exciting. I've gotten a little lax on it these last couple months and now only use it at night and then use my Arbonne cleanser in the shower in the morning but mostly just because that's quicker. Bumping this for new members that may not have seen it the first time around....

I'm still on the program and my face has never been happier.

Such a bonus that it's so cheap too!:thumbup:

Oh, I hear ya! I'm afraid that once this bottle of Arbonne cleanser is gone, I'm going to have to start using the OCM morning AND night because it's so much cheaper. But it's great! Glad you're still having good results. I've told all my friends about it. It's great to keep in mind for adolescent girls (and boys!) also since their poor faces are so haywire sometimes.

I do it in the morning----

Turn on shower
massage OCM into face and then do the steam soak under the shower while washing all else

hit face with wash cloth a couple times before turning off the shower

For My Coby 07-13-2008 09:54 PM
I'm a bit lax as well, but I'm still a believer. The odd thing is that even though I'm a bit lax, my face has stayed in much "happier" shape since beginning the program full force. And I tried the shower idea - GREAT.

I love that I found this thread soon after you started it!! :thumbup:

Yes---it may not be as good as the original method, but it's better than skipping I've found.

I also do an all caster oil cleaning once in a while if my skin seems sluggish.

That does wonders for the aging cleavage.;) Tightens things right up.

Oooohhhhh - another good idea to try!! :thumbup:

Interesting......Any updates on this.......:)

I use my own mixture of OCM for my face, I also use olive oil on my body. i would say my skin is my best feature...Very proud of it! Ivory, translucent and milky. I really recommend OCM! Got rid of stress lines and blackhead I had. I don't even need makeup no more!
