Despite the initial setbacks, I’ve come to learn that OCM indeed does work.

I really believe it will work for everybody. I believed it will work for me and I pressed on, and tried to see what I did wrong, and eventually, I saw that it did work.

Though I oil cleanse too infrequently to see the “long term results”, but while oil cleansing just now I managed to dislodge lots of dirt and little “seeds” from my face, whatever it is called. And my blackheads look far less, too.

The most amazing thing I managed to extract is the dirt. While out of my face came a large amount of seed-like things, I also managed to rub out these black dots which I had never seen before even if I squeezed my blackheads.

I think it’s either dirt or blackheads, I have no idea what it is.

I will list down the mistakes I made initially while oil cleansing and hopefully, might be able to help some understand why it didn’t work for them.

Firstly, the pimples. I truly believe the pimples are caused by not washing the oil off properly. Because some websites state that washing it off with warm water is sufficient. Unfortunately, it’s not, and I had to use a foaming cleanser as suggested on your website.

I come to think that people tend to break out on their jawline because it’s the area where one may be a little careless in washing off the oil residue, and hence lead to pimples.

Secondly, oil cleansing is only effective when you rub it on your face for a verrrrrrryyyy looonnngggg time. At least for me, I need more than half hour, and I still wanted to continue, but I realise it’s really wasting too much time and I’m hogging the bathroom.

One needs to keep massaging your fingertips over and over across his/her face, especially on problem areas and where the skin feels “bumply”. After ample rubbing, some of these “bumps” will dislodge from the skin. At least, that is my experience.

Yeap, I’m aware I’ve written too long a comment but I just wanted to keep you updated because it’s from you that I got many useful tips (besides oil cleansing) and was able to learn my mistakes here.

Thank you (:

I actually read thru the comments on the OCM page, this page and the double cleansing page… I followed the comments of the readers, by massaging the oil on face for longer than I previously did, approx 5 mins or so… I was extremely bored… then I placed the warm towel on my face, before washing it off with my cleanser which I’m not sure if it’s mild…

But anws, the blackheads have been lessened and are getting lesser. I think the longer I rub the oil on my face the more the blackheads will disappear… I’m not sure yet, but I’ll continue trying OCM for a while (:

I’ve got a review of the A’kin cleanser here:
