I know the almond oil is great for taking off eye makeup, but other than that....I am confused!
I have pretty dry skin, but prone to break outs on my chin due to some medical issues. So not sure what would be best. Can anyone help? Thanks!
Hi - I think the recommended 'standard' ratio is 50:50. But you can alter the ratio and add more olive oil for dryer skins, or more castor oil for oilier skins, or skins that need deeper cleansing of pores etc.
I also add essential oils, since the method includes a steaming of the face, its a good time way to get EO to penetrate. I was using patchouli and lavender, and am now trying rose and neroli - it smeels divine!
