Best Natural Face "Soap" - Olive Oil!

A nice rule of thumb for face products is: If you use it in your deep fryer, it probably will make a luxurious face wash... Or something like that.

Seriously though, this "liquid gold" (as Jess puts it) has about every miracle use your body needs- and we're only covering one! (maybe 3.) We also use it on our bodies, hair, hands, feet... But that's another story..video.

Note- You don't need to moisturize after washing your face with this. WIN!

The recipe for the Michelle Phan's olive oil face exfoliant is here:
(We use it about once a week~!) IT'S AMAZING!

The OCM (Oil cleansing method) is the less lazy version of what we do. In addition to olive oil, there is castor oil as well as steaming involved. A good article can be found here:

do u wash ur face with it morning and night



[ThePickettProject]

@krawlingchick Sometimes morning, sometimes night, sometimes neither, sometimes both. Whatever my face feels like it needs that day :)

how often can u use it?

does it works on combination skin type?

when u rinse it, do u use cold or hot water?

does it helps for acne scars?

[ThePickettProject]

@MarylinMonroe26 I wouldn't use it more than twice a day as to not upset the balance of oils on your skin. Use on ANY skin type (I have combination skin which tends to be more dry and sensitive in the winter.) I rinse with warm and then splash with cold- either will work. I am unsure about how it effects acne scars, but I can only imagine it would improve the appearance before making them look worse. Hope this response helps :)

@ThePickettProject

I tryed it, after i rinsed it with cold water it still remained abit oil (which i was very scared to leave it overnight) so i left it like that without taking it off with soup.

It really helped, i had much smooter skin my skin felt very good from it.

thank you very much for ure response :) and for this helpfull video.

Have a nice day and keep up the good job :D

@ThePickettProject ok ty. Btw i have questions for you. Does warm water give you rinkles? My sis told me about that. And what do i wash my fash morning and night as cleanser? I know Extra V olive oil isnt for everyday use. Do yoh have aby suggestion? Like a cheap organic face wash? :/ oh and last questions would be. Do i need to exfoliate every night? I have a oily skin and i heard exfoliating is not good to exfo. Everyday ._.

[ThePickettProject]

@antidescent Thank you! You can buy organic ones at almost ANY Health Grocery store. Even regular grocery stores should carry them. Just look for Extra Virgin, cold pressed Olive oil :)

[antidescent]

@ThePickettProject ok, um do you have any suggestion on brand and where to buy an organic one? ._. cuz i know some are fake or have weird chemicals added on some products now a days, and thanks love, btw you look great (thumbs) :D

@antidescent This works AMAZING on oily skin. Oil is the BEST thing to use to combat oil. It removes dirt and helps to balance the PH of your skin (this controls how much oil your face produces.) Stripping your face of oils messes with th PH balance and causes you to be MORE oily. My skin stopped being oily after using oils :)  Try starting with Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (best oil for acne prone skin.) Good luck!
