ACNE PROBLEMS????

I have had acne problems for a while now. I have combination skin and its a real pain. Sometimes i blame my genes, hormones, food, environment and keep on wondering what the heck went wrong. I went to a dermatologist and he gave me few antibiotics, and benzoyl peroxide which was too harsh for my skin, i started peeling off and my skin looked rougher and flaky than ever before. Then i came to read somewhere in the Internet about OCM - Oil Cleansing Method.



and trust me, its the best i have ever tried. Did you know there are few natural oils that doesn't clog your pores? It might sound creepy to use oil on top of the acne, but some of the natural oils clean your skin leaving your skin moisturised. Few of them are Baobab oil , Castor oil ( which i use/good for hair as well), and from what i have heard and read, Jojoba oil is the best to moisturise. Your face wont get greasy at all and its far more better than the shit chemicals which you use as moisturisers. If you have a dry skin, these oils will do wonders. What i do for my routine is i use Castor oil and extra virgin olive oil half and half, massage gently for few seconds and leave it on my skin for as long as i want before bed. Castor oil works miraculously to take out all the dirt from the skin, i use extra virgin olive oil to remove my eye make up, you don't need to buy a make up remover. just check your kitchen cabinets, and its right there, all natural and  non comedogetic. The best part is you can find these oils over the counter in any organic stores. After the cleansing massage, i wash my face, Pat dry and use Baobab oil ( rich in vitamin A, D, E and F) all night. Whenever i break out, i dab very small portion of benzyol peroxide on the top of the pimple and viola, it does dry the shit out of that pimple. but i make sure i use the oil first and apply benzoyl since its too strong for my skin. My skin has started to improve since then.

Good Luck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


P.S  Its always better to ask your dermatologist before experimenting with your skin.
