Just wash your face using your oil mix, massage it to really get all the first out, then wipe off with a wrung washcloth. Then apply 2-3 drops of pure oil (not castor oil!) to keep your skin hydrated. It will feel odd at first because we expect our skin is supposed to be completely dry, but that’s wrong! Don’t skip this hydration step! You may not want to do it right before bed so your skin has time to absorb it (otherwise, some of it will get into your pillowcase—it will wash off but some 3/5
@asteriskeverything Game of Thrones. Hated the series, found the book boring. It went on forever yet it felt like nothing happened. Finished the first one on principle, didn’t bother with the rest…

@addictedtochaos Technically yes. Sadly, that’s not ways the case, especially with acne-prone skin. The oil mix cleans by replacing dirty oil with clean oils. Then the hydrating oil works by keeping your skin not to produce so much of it. In my experience, acne products just strip the skin of any sort of hydration, which just makes the problem worse, as oil production goes in overdrive.
Now that I know what properly hydrated skin feels like, I know mine has always been oily or stripped.
