HOW TO MAKE & USE OIL CLEANSER | Oil Cleansing Method
To make the my perfect Oil cleansing routine, follow these measurements:
• 25g Grapeseed Oil
• 17g Jojoba Oil
• 4g Rosehip Oil
• 3g Vitamin E Oil
Now oil cleansers work great for some and have even helped acne and skin issues… on the other hand there are a lot of cases of people breaking out from oil cleansers. If you have specific skincare needs, follow these substitutions to customise your oil cleanser.
For Extra Oily skin:
Substitute Jojoba Oil with more Grapeseed Oil
For Dry Skin:
Substitute Grapeseed Oil for Olive Oil
For Sensitive Skin:
Add Chamomile Oil, it’s anti-inflammatory and reduces redness & irritation
For Normal Skin:
Add a variety of essential oils for fragrance but add no more than 5 drops to avoid irritating skin
The Science of Oil Cleansing
Oil Cleansing is based on the scientific principle that “like dissolves like”. Because water doesn’t mix with oils so you have to use harsh cleansing agents to remove dirt. Oil cleansers naturally bind to dirt and impurities on your skin - breaking down makeup and unclogging pores. It leaves the skin’s natural moisture barrier in tact because it doesn’t rely on cleansing agents.

Oil cleansing isn't for everyone but did I convince you to give it a try?? 💚

[@WholeElise]

@Keys Universe Hi my love! So glad this video helps, I have eczema too so I know the struggle 😩. Chamomile is an essential oil so you don't want to add too much. I'd recommend 3 - 5 drops, it's potent enough for you to still get its benefits. I've just made a homemade intensive oat lotion which might be a good fit for you too 💚: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYitZZSAiLh7e6c

[@malynature]

Yes, you did!

[@chrisbond3900]

Oh yes!

[@laurasaunders-calvert6576]

I've made this and have been using it for the last week. I can confirm that it melts away waterproof mascara and leaves your skin feeling soft and moisturised. Thanks for this great, easy and most importantly effective recipe 👍🥰

[@WholeElise]

Aww thanks so much for the feedback Laura, nothing beats user satisfaction lol! So glad it worked for you 🥰💚

[@geejuliana]

Been using this method for ages since I started wearing tons of make-up for work. I found that cleansing oil really remove all my make-ups and then finish it with mild facial wash felt like my face finally breathe free again. Just to ensure to apply skincare afterwards for the skin to have some nourishment throughout the night while sleeping. Thank you for sharing this! Will definitely try making my own cleansing oil now.

Thanks a lot I'm really in love with your channel

Thank you, very informative. I've been using pure jojoba oil but will give this one a try.

[@clarewhite3004]

I make self-emulsifying cleansing balm with castor oil in it. Castor oil and emulsifying wax help it rinse off beautifully - no need to wash or wipe off the residue. The recipe I'm currently in love with is Forest Cleansing Balm from Humblebee and Me.

[@AnnaMarieDeeTV]

Love that you spoke about how to remove the oil cleanser. I like using oil but often get clogged pores from it. Going to try your method today!

[@WholeElise]

Thank you! Haha it seems obvious now but I struggled with breakouts for years until I realised I needed to remove the oil 😩😅. Hope it works for you too 💚

[@saugeangel6607]

Really enjoyed watching this. In the 90s I read a book written in the 60s by the dermatologist to the Duchess of Windsor (Wallis Simpson). It Advocated strongly the use of only oil To cleanse your face. Then you were told to rinse your face six times with very hot water. I was in my 20s at the time so I thought I’d give it a try as it’s pretty revolutionary and I thought if it was good enough for Wallis Simpson, then it’s good enough for me. Everybody else in my age group was using cleanser, toner, and moisturiser or soap. I’ve stuck to this method for many years and never have I used soap on my face since. In ancient times the Romans used oil on their bodies to cleanse the skin, and had a special scraper they would use to scrape off the dirty oil. It really does make sense to use oils to clean your skin because the dirt is suspended in the oil that your face produces. It’s the same principle as using orange oil to clean bicycle chains. (A bit extreme but I think you know the idea and the science behind it.) It’s really nice to see someone else who believes in the oil cleansing method. I really like your videos

[@frankvelez4997]

Hi I'm Loretta De Los Rios using Frank's account to make this comment with his permission. I agree you can rinse your face more than 3 times but not with hot water. It would have to be warm. Hot water I do not believe is good for the skin. It sounds like you have been doing this a long time is this correct? If so, I guess hot water has worked for you but it's hard to believe. 🤲✝️🙏

Come O Lord, and save my life, receive me today as a child of God. Forgive all my sins, and write my name in the Book of Life. I give myself to you, my spirit, my soul, my body. Receive me O lord Jesus Christ. Now, devil. The Blood of Jesus is against you, I command you now to leave me, I don’t belong to you, I am God’s property. Leave my life, I disassociate myself from you. I renounce every evil covenant I have entered in with you. In Jesus’ name, I have received salvation, I am a child of God. Amen 🙏

Would using a toner after the oil cleansing be sufficient to remove the oil residue? Like a homemade apple cider vinegar toner? Then follow with a moisturizer.

[@mutiazahira6601]

This is why I'm here, too. I'm trying to get the right amount to put it in the old 10oz bottle, too... I'm hoping to find an easy measurement conversion for this, and since I have very dry skin as I've gotten older, I am going to sub olive oil for the grapeseed oil. :)

what vitamin e oil do you use?

[@munachifavour1759]

I don't usually apply makeup to my face .... But I have a dry sensitive skin but I have not used an oil cleanser on my face before but I think I'll try your method out but my problem is to find the best mild cleanser, because I need to avoid using lather face washes and cleansers...but how can I make a diy mild cleanser to hell remove my oil cleansers properly? I'll be using sweet almond oil and jojoba oil for my oil cleanser to easily detect if I react to any of these oils.

[@camillerong2635]

do you use this for a body cleanser too?? love the video and your energy 🌸

[@WholeElise]

Thanks Camille! Scaling up the ingredients to make enough for a body cleanser would be quite expensive, but you definitely could! It'd leave your skin feeling incredible soft too 😊

[@BeccaWright1012]

FYI milliliters and grams are not interchangeable -- 1g is equal to 1mL of water, but other liquids have different densities. Would appreciate if you confirmed whether it's grams or milliliters! Thanks!

[@charlielouwoo]

i think its grams as she is pouring it into the jar but it is on the scale!

[@lollymagg]

ML is in liquid form eg vit oil MG solid form eg Shea butter.Based on the ingredients listed you can determine which one to use.

[@simplyshama]

What gentle cleanser do you recommend? I have oily dehydrated skin and find oil cleansing is the only thing that battles dry patches. But since I'm oily just oil cleansing starts to clog pores. I'm tempted to use an olive oil based bar soap but the internet says bar soaps are bad for dehydrated skin!

[@WholeElise]

It's so hard to find the right balance! I've been using my own natural face cleanser so that I can easily control how much cleansing agent I put in: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5a9gn-hqLubgMU There are quite a few natural face washes about, and i know that a lot of people prefer to use pure liquid castile soap and dilute it themselves if you'd prefer not to make from scratch. Bar soaps are tricky because it really depends on the individual soap on how moisturising/cleansing they can be. I don't think there's one rule to follow in regards to that, but try to pick one that has minimal ingredients, includes glycerine and puts emphasis on "moisturising" or "mild cleansing". Hope that helps! 😊💚

[@afriiLips92]

You should try the cream cleanser by La Roche Posay. It’s formulated for dehydrated oily skin.

[@simplyshama]

@@afriiLips92 thank you, i hope this works!

[@angelbee..]

Do any ingredients need to be added to preserve it if you were to sell it?

[@WholeElise]

Honestly I'm not sure.. Selling homemade products are tricky because there are a lot of regulations to jump through, many of which are region-specific so I couldn't say for sure. But you'd have to think about being able to guarantee the sterilisation of the environment, bottle and equipment you use, as well as the certification of the ingredients you use, in addition to guaranteeing the shelf life of your product. Sorry I couldn't be more help with that! 😊

[@antoinetteb.7305]

I just brought grape seed oil. Do you have to use other oils too or should that be fine ?

[@WholeElise]

Hi! 😊 Grapeseed oil is a great all rounder as it's light enough to absorb into the skin, unclogging pores and helping with acne. The other oils do have additional benefits but grapeseed will work just fine on it's own 💚

[@ccoronado361]

Hi. What type of vitamin e oil do you get? There is so many different kind I don't know which to get.

[@GorgeousB1986]

In the video you list the ingredients as ml but in the description they are in grams. Could you please confirm which measurement we should be using please x

[@saugeangel6607]

Ml and gms are the same ie 100ml = 100 gms

[@ExplodingRupees]

Oil cleansing gave me very painful acne, like I’ve never had before. I tried lots of different oils. I think it was the wash cloth part for me just too much rubbing on my skin. I’ll give your method a try, nothing else to do really ❤️

[@WholeElise]

It's crazy how much different products can effect our skin! I'm sorry to hear you've had such a hard time with oil cleansers. Yeah physical exfoliation like using a wash cloth can be far too rough on a regular basis. It's worth a try but definitely don't put your skin at risk! Hope it works out 😊💚

[@l4vebot229]

[@Irene-po1mk]

U should try either sesame oil or castor oil even though it might not be as good as a store brought product it does break down your makeup and sunscreen to some extent btw I have oily acne prone skin😊

[@ciannacoleman5125]

If your washcloth is too rough on your skin try getting some baby washcloths or up-cycled T-shirt fabric, they are super soft and gentle while still providing a better surface to remove cleanser (whatever type you use) than your hand.

[@socialbutterflybusiness6750]

Try adding solubiliser in your recipe. I add 9% solubiliser (polysorbate 80) for super easy rinse off. 51% castor oil, 49% virgin coconut oil. Really smooth skin.

[@belove751]

You should always follow your oil cleanse with a regular face cleanser. This is why “the double cleanse” is a thing, you have to have that second step to get your face completely clean.

[@WholeElise]

Absolutely! But a lot of popular Oil Cleansing methods skip this step which can end up wreaking havoc on the skin 💚

[@janellejones7894]

Hello, my question is after the two step cleanse, can I use another oil to moisturize, a moisturizer, or I wouldn’t have to use anything? Thanks.

[@ciannacoleman5125]

While that is true for many people, straight oil cleansing (sometimes twice if I have makeup on) works best for me. I only do it in the evening use an ACV toner last and the excess oil absorbs into my skin leaving it soft and evenly hydrated. About once a week or two I will also use a diy sugar scrub and a wash off charcoal mask. This system cleared up my acne and I only ever get it when I get lazy and only wash with water for an extended period of time

[@alwaysathome]

@@ciannacoleman5125 absolutely agree, I don't need any soap or surfactants at all. Double cleansing with oil twice in a row works best for me as well for my dry maturing skin.

[@LoveLeigh313]

Definitely not true

[@crich23]

How do you know how much of each different oil to use? I'm interested in making my own but wanting to use some different oil but unsure of what would be the correct measurement.

[@WholeElise]

Hi Nika, the amount of oil you use is usually determined by its potency. So base oils like jojoba, almond, grapeseed etc make up most of the cleanser. But for active ingredients like rosehip, vitamin e, essential oils you'll only need a small amount. Some oils also have a recommended concentration so you should always do your own research, especially if you want to change and customise this recipe. But a good rule of thumb is the smaller the bottle of oil (and higher the price) the less you need to use! Hope that helps 😊

[@shesananniemal]

Maria @gentlewhispering sent me! You have a new subscriber! Lovely video 🥰

[@sangiralte1630]

Will it be okay if i use castor oil?

[@WholeElise]

Hi! Any oil has the ability to breakdown other oils, but Castor oil is quite thick and viscose so it might put more pressure on your skin as you massage it to remove makeup. Warming it slightly before using will help with that. It might also not be the best choice if you have acne prone skin, but feel free to use whichever oils work best for you 😊

[@samanthaopara]

How long do these last like do they go off after a while? Thank you 🤎

[@WholeElise]

Hi Samantha! It has a shelf life of 4 - 6 months, it can be prolonged by using dark/amber bottles and keeping away from direct sunlight. Oils tend to lose their potency after a while so it won't be as effective after this point. The vitamin E oil works as an antioxidant to reduce the chance of your oils going rancid but if you notice any change in colour, consistency or smell then definitely stop using it and make a new one! Hope that helps 😊
