    OMG. Don't even know why I ever got on this horrid cleansing fad. One week of the OCM (followed the instructions to the letter) with 20% castor oil and 80% sweet almond oil, and my skin has never...

    I started reading natural beauty blogs, and felt resolved to educate myself on the chemicals around me and in the products I use. It was therefore natural that I switched to OCM. I bought a bunch...

    Edit: I am currently on Accutane for the damage this has done to my once clear skin. Bactrim cleared my face up mostly (which means the OCM created a major infection in my face), but I'm on...

    I started the OCM after reading the buzz about it--but I started it very cautiously after reading all the horror stories. The Oil Cleansing Method (OCM) isn't for everyone, but with a lot of...

    DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU HAVE ACNE-PRONE SKIN AND/OR EASILY CLOGGED PORES. DO NOT. NEVER EVER EVER. The risk is NOT worth it. I was at my wit's end trying to clear up my acne + flaky skin combo...
