ALL NATURAL SKINCARE: OIL CLEANSING METHOD

[tashaterrell313]

@mamudo29 no its a brand called africans best herbel oil. Not from africa.

[1Robbinh]

I watch your videos all the time and I just love them. Because the weather here in Gainesville, Fl has gotten colder, and I have been experiencing itching all over my body. To solve this issue I started showering in olive oil,almond oil, and walnut oil with a fragnance oil added. In a couple of days the itching has stop and I love the way my body feel. I eliminated using body soap while doing this cleansing method. Oil cleansing method is great for the entire body as well as the face.

[BecauseOfSydney]

How long have you been using this method?

[voice5751]

ladies.. and gentlemen :)

[Evoral]

you give me faith :D

[redraf04]

Hey, so do I need to use a separate moisturizer after cleansing with this method?

[Evoral]

@redraf04 No, oil is all you need.

[tashaterrell313]

OMG! My acne is clearing up and I'm 27 and it has been so bad every since I can remember. Didn't want to even leave the house! Now it is clearing up! I didn't have the money to buy the oils so being desperate I just use africans best growth oil.it worked! Iam in tears right now! I have tried everythg! Acne has made holes in my face and its all sum ppl see when they look at me! It worked Omg it freaking worked!!! I wish this was like facebook so I could post a pic! *Tears* it worked!

[mamodu29]

@tashaterrell313 can u pls explain name of the oil called in africa ?

we have kernel oil coconut oil palm oil olive oil,which one did u use?

[AfRiCaNqUe3n]

@tashaterrell313 I'm so happy for you! Your story sound similar to mine so I'm planning on trying this method. How long did it take the acne to clear?

[maleekbiggs]

do you ever wash your face with soap or do you use ocm only

[Flipsbytch]

Just wondering if u still do this?

[littlemissaloveable]

im scared this would break me out because i have oily combination skin! AHHH!! YOUR SKIN IS AMAZING AND I REALLY WANT TO TRY IT!! im just sooooo scared!! what do you think?

[Miikoong904]

@littlemissaloveable No, it actually HELPS acne.

[ellaloves2praise]

I use this process and it really works. My skin looks and feel baby soft. Oh, one exception, I only use "white" wash cloths on my face, no DYES in white clothes.

[anita4168]

the first time i saw one of your videos the first thing i notice was how good your skin looked, now i understand why, ive been doing this for 4 days and i c and feel a big difference already.

[MySexydoctor]

You are doing something right girl cuz your skin in flawless! Damn you are gorgeous!

[chinouyamale]

do i wash my face first though?

[beautifuldreamer331]

Did it irritate your face when you first started?..I just started yesterday and my face is SO irritated :(

[makeupbymika21baby]

it has cleared up my acne about 85%.i also use lemon water as my toner and a mixture of honey and fresh green tea as my expholiant

[AnnaJamila1]

You have some of the most beautiful skin I've ever seen! :)

[BeautiLondon]

I tried this yesterday and now my face is swollen. I don't think my skin agrees with olive oil. I have the worst reactions to the most simple things. Maybe I will wait a few months then try again.

[sxychocolate]

@BeautiLondon you might want to try replacing the olive oil with jojoba oil. Some people use grapeseed or hazelnut oil too, depending on the type of skin they have. good luck!

[BeautiLondon]

@sxychocolate Thanks for the suggestions! I think I will try jojoba oil because after the swelling went away my face felt great. Thanks again =]

[caligoddess02]

I have been using this method for a few days and my skin has never felt or look better. A Question... Do you also use regular soap to clean your face? Or just the OCM only? Thanks!

[kawaiichibi03]

Do you use this method every day?

[wizum06]

Your skin is BEAUTIFUL!

[karinkazzab]

I've been told coconut oil is best for the skin

[TheNaturallykinky]

do you wash your face first before you start ?

[CJvibez2008]

TRY IT FOLKS IT WORKS!!!

[tweetyrocks911]

damn i love your skin imma try that too

[AlonsoGuero]

Your skin is gorgeous *

[QuEEnNiNaMaRie]

[m041383]

will this clear up acne?

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@m041383 No, not to my knowledge, but improve the appearance of the skin

[Puella992]

@m041383: Cleared up my acne. =)

[shin0bi88]

@m041383 I suffered from acne and it does, just takes a bit longer. It draws out impurities and you will feel granules, also it will condition your skin so that it doesn't produce oil for your dry skin that you dried out using cleansers.

You can use peanut oil as EVO is better for being ingested, also rice bran oil is good.

Just make sure to give yourself a good massage with the oils and relieve stress

[liathanofaery]

You have such Beautiful Skin.

[creamysugar12]

ur skin is FLAWless

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@creamysugar12 Thank you

[SuperCapresse]

LOVE, love, love this method, I've been doing it for a month and my skin feels clean, soft, relax and moisturized, the sensation is really great, thank you for sharing

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@SuperCapresse You are so welcome

[AndieLuvs2Laugh]

This was interesting! I had never heard of this before. It obviously works because your skin is amazing. I have EXTREMELY sensitive skin especially on my face so I'm hesitant to try this. Oils usually break me out but those are oils that have fragrance. I've been using ambi black soap to keep my face clear for a while now, however it leaves my skin soooo dry so I'm looking for an alternative. Any suggestions for sensitive skin?

[dansons888]

@AndieLuvs2Laugh This should be perfect for sensitive skin. The oils that you've been using with fragrance have probably been mineral oil based; mineral oil isn't a healthy oil like vegetable oils, it's actually a byproduct of petroleum being turned into oil. So, trying to use a healthy oil like plant oils (castor and then the olive/jojoba/grapeseed) should be fine for your skin!

[muzykali]

Hi. Thank you for posting. This is great. I have been using this method for about a week and have noticed my skin feels and looks much better. However, I still have about 3 blackheads on my face. What is your recommendation for getting rid of blackheads?

[hotrdumommy]

Can you use JBCO?

[bLuebhErie]

ur skin looks effing awesome!!

i'm trying this out later...just wondering, how often do u do OCM in a week?

[purpler0ses]

hi there :)) was wondering - do you use this everyday? what do you mean by using it regularly? is it too much to use everyday? i have combo-oily skin and im asian lol ahah :)) thanks.

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@purpler0ses I like to do it during the colder months, plus I have dry skin. If you have oily skin then you would use more Castor Oil and less of the other oil. You have to find the right ratio. Its not too much for everyday, I just use my regular black soap cleanser and that works great for my daily cleanser. Hope this helps my asian sista lol :O)

~keep it real

[desariec]

your skin is gorgeous!!

[Carmel86Tae]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I really appreciate it!

[MrsJdafirstlady]

i was wondering do you do this with makeup on? or do you have to remove makeup first?

[dansons888]

@MrsJdafirstlady This doubles as a makeup remover, even for stubborn waterproof makeup (because waterproof is usually either an oil-based or non-polar substance like the oil itself and like dissolves like so you get the drift). The way that the oil dissolves your skin's oil is the same way that it will get rid of makeup.

[jdon6000]

i started doing this and am seeing tremendous difference in my skin :)

[MiszFit09]

Do u have 2 use castor oil??

[ronron291]

r u a man

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@ronron291 Nope

[Comedylover132007]

@ronron291 Are you stupid or just blind?

[sunsilks]

Can I use a exfoliating pad to rub the oil in?

[KITTENDELISH]

you have beautiful skin! did you notice an improvement in any way from using the ocm?

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@KITTENDELISH My skin feels softer and very moisturized when I use this method

[sehaynes82]

can you used this to take off make up as well or use another cleanser then use the OCM?

[Mandy4610]

AE, which type of castor oil do you use?

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@Mandy4610 Any brand really, but It was by NOW

[psychmaj323]

Amazed at how well it cleans, that's what I was trying to say lol

[psychmaj323]

Love it! I'm just amazed at how well it. Love it...

[ebqueen1]

this is the first ive seen you without make up and i think you're so much prettier without makeup! Wow and thats rare, let me tell ya

[psychmaj323]

beautiful skin...I will try the oli method

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@psychmaj323 GREAT! Let me know what you think

[810cocoa]

For acne prone/oily skin, I use a combination of 60% castor oil, 20% hazelnut oil, and 20% grapeseed oil with wonderful results.

[lioxoda]

Love your video, your skin is glowing. This method is so good for toning as well cos it increases circulation and the cloth exfoiliates well. Olive oil is the best, leave it in your hair for a few minutes (you can put a bag/ shower cap over your head or pin your hair up while it's soaking) and then shampoo out (careful, it makes the shower slippery!). Great for conditioning. Also, if you have contact dermititus, this is a pretty much instant cure.

[EboniTrue7691]

OMG! THANK YOU AFRICAN EXPORT!!! I just went and mixed some in my hand! (I have so many containers of 'potions') Used it...and...the blackheades/clogging on my nose and delicate skin on the sides of my nose...GREATLY reduced! Skin GLOWING! I am so happy! This is the TRUTH! I'm happy that I can use the same stuff I buy for food/hair can be used on my face as well!

[thelawofsinging]

This works. I have been doing this for years and people always comment on how great my skin looks. Actually, using harsh soaps, or soap in general, messes up the skin. It strips it of it's natural ability to heal itself. (the same reasons why we avoid sulfate shampoo) Love this. Also, olive oil is the best way to remove make-up!!!

[trinibug82]

Hi AE, thanks for this, I'm thinking of trying this out. Just a question, do you change anything in this routine between winter and summer? Does hot weather change the look of your skin? I'm worried about looking too oily in a hot climate.

[trulife12345]

I haven't researched this method yet, does your skin feel clean after?? Is there an oily residue after you finish wiping it off at all, even a slight amount?? Your skin looks great!

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@trulife12345 I have dry skin naturally, so my skin feels soft, and moisturized after, not greasy or oily.

If you have oily skin its recommended that you use more castor oil , which has cleansing propoerties

[lioxoda]

@trulife12345 Apply olive oil to your face liberally using a cotton pad, massaging the pads upwards to avoid sagging your skin. After a couple of minutes working the oil, rinse a clean face cloth (older cloths exfoiliate better) and gently rub in circular motions removing the oil, again making sure not to pull or stretch your skin. Rinse the cloth and repeat until you are satisfied your face is oil free. Pat dry. Your skin will be moisturised but not oily and super soft!

[planes100]

@lioxoda great comment . my partner is a plastic surgeon, ad we both do this often . cheers from australia .

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@bbnne1 Thank you :o)

[Nodonnell98]

I have a silly question the castor oil is not jamaican castor oil; right?

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@Nodonnell98 No its not

~keep it real

[summerjewel63]

you have beautiful skin.

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@summerjewel63 Thank you . Be well

[Rowsonnel]

I'm going to try this I have extremely sensitive skin which is also combination at the moment I am having microdermabrasion treatment for my scarring and pigmentation I hope this will help aswell

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@Rowsonnel Check with your dermatologist first.  :o)

[Rowsonnel]

@AFRICANEXPORT Definately. Thx

[7lyrique]

Would this technique work for acne prone skin? I'm scuuuured because I break out by looking at my face, let alone put oil on it LOL!!

[kslice321]

You have beautiful skin is it partly due to using this method? I have very dry skin with some hormonal acne around my chin. How much castor oil would you say to use for that then? By the way, I know that olive oil is good for your skin but what does the castor oil do for us? I've only ever used it to help myself go into labour. :P

[MrSexxxy20]

LOVE IT! So I'm going to start doing this method to cleans my face. Right now I exfoliate because of my oils skin. I wanted to know if should I still do that an then use this method or just do this method only and if so. Are you suppose to do this every day and night?

[knowledge25k]

You are very beautiful. i will you call you beautiful black queen

[fuckinmegs]

Awesome! I'm totally gonna try this!!! Blessings!

[fuckinmegs]

beautiful! can I do this with caucasian skin?

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@fuckinmegs ABSOLUTELY

[Sheacutey]

do you still do this method??

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@Sheacutey Yes from time to time, maybe twice a month

[champagne5552000]

she doesn't need makeup....flawless skin..I'm pissed!  haha

[milamonster]

i have a ridiculously oily tzone so i should use mostly castor oil??

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@milamonster yes the more oily the skin, more castor oil less olive

[eLLeBO0GIE]

is it a good idea to do this if i have oily skin? im scared to try it....

[bellealfleure]

@eLLeBO0GIE Tupe Moptopmaven oil cleansing and you can find more information about different oils you can use if you have oily skin dry skin or acne prone skin.

[eLLeBO0GIE]

is it a good idea to do this if i have oily skin?

[highercreative2010]

Omg. So I did this method. My skin is SO SMOOTH. Not a dry skin flake in sight. I don't even remember my skin feeling this good. Its has a glow to it. I was like I have all these oils already so why not. But this was an amazing treat. Most def will be putting this into rotation. Thanks!

[miraclev]

Does this help w/ skin discoloration?

[ilslth]

hi i would like to know if i dont have castor oil, isit possible for me to use a facial scrub to exfoliate instead? (:

[hipretty]

your skin is a stunning testament to natural care! do you wear makeup? would you use this to remove make-up or just for daily cleansing and care?

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@hipretty i wear makeup, and would use it for either, but i prefer makeup removal wipes. i buy a brand from the dollar store called nu-pore.

[blackeee1]

One of my friends on Tagged wanted to know will this be a good method for men. I told him I think it would because skin is skin am I correct?

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@blackeee1 yep, men can use this regimen also.

[blackeee1]

@AFRICANEXPORT thank you so much. I have just subscribe to you...I will be watching.  love this vid

[almondbrwneyez]

There are several videos regarding oil cleansing. I asked b/c in AE mentioned she would put the source in the summary box. I didnt see the source and I have MTM oil cleansing method wrote down I didnt want to right down the same technique twice. Thanks for the heads up.... Like my mother says nothing new, just recycled and new us when it comes to beauty tips

[almondbrwneyez]

Did you get this from Mop Top Maven I didnt see the reference of your source in the scription box.

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@almondbrwneyez My friends mother told me about this, she has been using oils to clean her face for years.

~keep it real

[DeauxFaced]

@almondbrwneyez oil cleansing is not new.....

[DeauxFaced]

@almondbrwneyez oily cleansing is not something new...I'm sure there are several ladies on YT that have oil cleansing videos

[lenobaleno]

i am trying this without castor oil...just EValmondO...will it work...btw, I was wondering what blackheads look on people with dark skin...is it noticable?

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@lenobaleno WELLL I dont persoanlly suffer from blackheads, but they are less noticable because of skin color.. but they're still yucky to have :O)

~keep it real

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@lenobaleno you have to use the castor oil because that is the oil that has the cleansing properties. The more of it that you use in the mixture the more cleansing it will be. I have dry skin so i use less castor more moisturizing oil.

[lenobaleno]

@AFRICANEXPORT thanks girl, I just made my first batch (75% EV almond oil 25% castor and a few drops of tea tree oil), been using for just over a week now and my nose has cleared up so well...blackheads literally started popping out of the pores on the 3rd treatment. Thanks heaps! xoxox

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@lenobaleno i am sooooo glad that it works for you . I like when others have equal success. Have a great holiday !

~keep it real

[Naturalhonney]

Just seeing this for the first time so I ran to my bathroom to give it a try. My skin is OILYYYYYY so I hope this helps! I used lots of castor oil just to be sure!! lol

[way2sexy100]

i just bought my castor oil and cant wait to start using.....what do u use as ya facial moisturizer?

[AimeeViolette]

@way2sexy100 Well I think the oil is the moisturizer...people correct me if im wrong

[alevan1]

Just want to say that you have beautiful skin.....thanks for the tip!!

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@alevan1 Thank you so much . Try the oil cleansing method it really works, if you have oily skin, up the amount of castor oil and use a good steamy towel .

[litlkutie]

wow thanks for sharing this. ive noticed that all the ladies here on youtube that use this method have beautiful skin. so im sure it really does work. im going to definately give this method a try. thanks again much love ~JESSICA LEMONS JACKSON~ ♥

[sultanbnet]

I have oily skin, therefore how often can i use this method only. I dont want to use any soaps. I was thinking about using once a day. What do you think ? My routine has been twice a day , morning and night, followup with toner , small portion of oil and then a little moisturizer. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

[mbleek2001]

i really don't think u should be wiping your face like that. but good video i just use coconut oil

[Marhia07]

I started this method last night and did it again this morning. I can't wait until I see some benefits from this. I been taking maca and it broke my skin out a lil bit.

[sarah9884]

would this work on combanition skin?

[YTfancol]

Great video. I suscribed to your channel. :-)

[thegame245]

You have the most beautiful skin I have seen and it really sells me on this cleansing methold.  Thanks for demostrating so effectly and the the amounts of oil.

[adriecol47]

where did you get that thing in the background that your earrings are hanging on?

[MrsNewBeginnings]

How often do you do this?

[pinksaphire100]

hey so why are u repeating it? Also do u have to remove the oil with a washcloth or can i do it with warm water?

Also does this help with red acne scars, redness acne etc.

[da1sinister1]

What happens if you only use olive oil ?

[KayeLaSha]

Can "men" use this method as a way to keep healthy skin as well?

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@KayeLaSha I dont see why not. I did the oil cleasing method on my fiance and he loved how his skin felt.

[GroovLouv]

@AFRICANEXPORT what type of stupidass question was that?

[ShubhpreetC]

Won't it make you break out if you have oily/acne prone skin??

[Loolee]

I don't have castor oil, is it okay if I just use olive oil alone?

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@Loolee Olive oil doesnt have th e"cleasing" properties like castor oil. Castor oil is easy to come by, you can probably find it at most drug stores.

~keep it real

[msjynkx]

your skin is amazing! you have cleared up the mystery of oil cleansing for me, thank you! ill be giving it a try today!!!!

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@msjynkx How was the oil cleasing method for you?

`keep it real

[starrsvm]

how long have you been doing this method?

[42opera]

i was wonder about the explantion for this method

[laxmibhsl]

doesn't castor oil make ur facial hair grow more?

[quitejaded]

@laxmibhsl I doubt it, but if it does, I don't care because I get threaded every other week anyways.

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@laxmibhsl Not that I know of! However castor oil is known to promote hair growth

~keep it real

[tedoymisojos]

@laxmibhsl that scares me, but it has never happened to me

[frbr24]

Your ring is gorgeousssssss!!!!!!! Great vid btw!!!

[sarahjf2007]

cont'd: Im afraid it wont get all of my makeup etc off & I'll break out?

[sarahjf2007]

if I have makeup on will the OCM really clean my skin throughly? should I use my Thayers witch hazel after or will that defeat the benefits?

[PeechCutie]

Thanks for this video. I was skeptical at first about the oil until I read a comment that you used it on your daughters who suffers from eczema. I also suffer from eczema and will always try anything natural to treat my skin. Do you have any recommedations for essential oils to add?

[brwnskinnedbeauty]

I also have been using this method for about two weeks and I have noticed an extreme difference in my skin. I really love this method, I have combination skin and acne prone, but I put this on my mom that I have not had a break out, and my skin is clearer, and the EVOO helps for moisture. Thank you AFRICANEXPORT I have just added this video to my favorites .

love ya girl...

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@brwnskinnedbeauty aww thanks chica. I am so glad that this helped. I have dry skin and its helping as well. I love the way my skin feels. I did this method on my daughter who suffers from ezema and has very dry skin and she was so excited about how soft her skin was and she is 9 lol. :o)

[AFRICANEXPORT]

@jollyfreemimi Thank you kindly. Really.

~keep it real

[BargainClipper]

Thanks for reminding me of this unique way of cleansing the skin! I have a few questions for you, please. Do you use castor oil from the pharmacy aisle or somewhere else? Since you use this method nightly and you use black soap in the morning, how do you moisturize and protect your skin (SPF) during the day? Also I have combination/oily skin, so I'm thinking about making a ratio of two parts castor oil to one part extra virgin olive oil, but I'll do more research and play around with it.
