Sooo, the OCM craze has taken over everywhere, from Pinterest to forwarded emails, and of course I had to try it! After about 2 weeks of intermittent use, I was satisfied with the results - glowing and smoother skin. However, I added my slight to twist to the procedure which totally improved the results and I am sure, you will also be pleasantly surprised after trying it out.
For those who may not be familiar with the OCM method, it's the use of oil to dissolve excess oil and remove impurities from the face. It may sound a bit twisted at first, because you ARE adding oil to a usually already oily type face (apparently my scientifically blessed boyfriend confirms the theory to me, a law student, that "like dissolves like" - meaning that oil dissolves oil) but I promise it will totally shock you! Remember to do this at night before bed and when you're just starting, try to use it every OTHER night. Now, there are a few combinations of oils but the recipe that I am giving works the best so far!
You'll need:
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp castor oil
- Small bottle
- Small towel
- 1 tsp aloe vera gel
Let's begin the transformation:
- Start with a clean, dry face. Pull your hair back with a band or clip.
- Pour oils in bottle and shake well. (usually lasts 1-2 weeks)
- Apply half of a dime sized amount all over the face and neck. Massage well.
- Soak the towel in warm water and squeeze slightly. Place over face for a few seconds, wash and repeat.
- Wipe the oil off with the warm towel after repeating the above steps 3 times.
- Apply aloe vera gel over entire face and go to sleep!
Happy transformations!
... Love and beauty, Virmala.
