Facial Cleansing Oil
The oil cleansing method uses natural oils to dissolve and remove dirt, makeup, and impurities from your skin, leaving it soft, smooth, and glowing. Unlike harsh cleansers that can damage your skin's natural barrier and cause dryness and irritation, the oil cleansing method nourishes and balances your skin's natural oils, improving its texture, tone, and overall health.By using natural oils such as castor oil and jojoba oil, you can deeply cleanse your skin without stripping it of its natural oils. These oils are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that help to nourish, protect, and hydrate your skin, leaving it looking and feeling its best.
