Aloha Fran!!! Sorry about my screen name if it disturbs you... Lol

Anyhoo, i got a question to ask you... I live in Hawaii and the temperature here tends to be 88 degrees (at most), and i need to know the temp. there in Australia when it gets hot to see if it's the same as it is in Hawaii and if it's safe for me to use the OCM (cuz i'm thinking about using it cuz the Proactiv thing is as you say "evil!")

PS: do you know if humidity has anything to do with causing acne?

[highonhealth]

Ooh Hawaii! I'll be staying in Hawaii for a week at the end of this month :) know any good hotels?

The OCM is tricky, it's either really great or really bad so you need to use it with caution. Yes, it did clog my pores and I'll never use it again, but for other it unclogs them so go figure.

The average temp here in summer is around 88 degrees, but it can get very humid. Supposedly the heat and humidity were not a good combo for the OCM.

[highonhealth]

No, humidity doesn't cause acne. Actually sweating is very healthy - it removes toxins. Just make sure if you sweat a lot because of humidity you wash your face twice a day to remove any bacteria that may be sitting on the surface of your skin.

Very interesting...I live in a very hot but usually BONE DRY part of the world (Phoenix, AZ and I havent used it in summer yet) but I have oily skin and I use it twice a day and it works GREAT! I used it recently in Hawaii and it still worked great...I guess it all depends on skin type and how you remove the oil. I always use a hot washcloth to remove (it exfoliates as well) and my pores are very clean....Good luck in the future tho!

[highonhealth]

yeah I think I have SUPER sensitive skin that reacts to just about anything I put onto it. I think I also didn't take enough of the oils off which was probably my biggest mistake. That's so good that it's working well for you :)

hey fran, great video...very helpful tips...i don't have a bad bad case of acne but i do break out a few here and there from time to time..i wanna give ocm a try as soon as i can find caster oil...where would it be sold at?

[highonhealth]

You can find castor oil at pharamcies or online. If you're in the UK you will have to buy it online.

I think the important thing with OCM is to find the right oil combination for your skin. My skin has dry and oily patches and I've found that 70% castor oil and 30% grapeseed oil is the perfect mix - castor oil is less heavy. Also I add a tiny amount of salt which helps exfoliate and prevent pores getting clogged. I recommend anyone using OCM to do research on the individual properties of each oil and tailor make your own mix.

I love your accent! :)

@WeirdWrath17 I live on Maui and I use the OCM. I haven't had any problems with it. I just started with a 50:50 base of EVOO and Castor oil, then I added more castor oil in small amounts until my skin didn't feel too greasy or too dry.

[simvegas]

how well are you rinsing with flannel after doing ur OCM?

[BurnKilluminati]

@gold12e hey so did your face clear up? if so, how long did it take? I seem to be in the same situation!

[BurnKilluminati]

@Pooki70729 hey you still using EVOO and doing OCM? how did it work out for you?

[leoMumford]

If you left it on your face that will be the reason why you got clogged up. As it was hot the temperature would of reacted with the oil left on your face. Try fully removing it each time and then tell us whether you still get problems. Good luck :-)

[visceralanding]

@siminona I agree. My face seems to get spots if I do so little as LOOK at a new or different skincare product (ok so I'm exaggerating but you get my point) and yet I can safely & confidently use jojoba oil w/out incident. It's very affordable as well! (always a bonus right?)

[winniwaikiki]

I want your accent! .. What type oils do you use?

[Singyoursong247]

So what do you use now other than castor and olive oil?

[123abcgagaga]

this is so true! i think this is why my face has been breaking out! So what do you use for the summer months!?!?!?! HELP!!?? lol

[stop08it]

i'm done using my face as a testing ground for oils. it can destroy your face and people will say it's purging! try new oils! but..you don't have to walk around with a destroyed looking face everyday.
