MYTH-BUSTING TIME: "oil cleansing will break you out" 🚫🧴

Okay I believed this one for YEARS, because why would I put MORE oil on my face?? But here's the real talk: oil dissolves oil. A good oil cleanser melts sunscreen, makeup, and the day's buildup right off β€” and for my fellow dry and sensitive girlies, it does it without stripping your face down to that tight, squeaky feeling πŸ™Œ

Breakouts from oil cleansing usually mean one of two things: the formula had comedogenic ingredients that don't agree with YOU, or β€” the big one β€” it wasn't washed off properly. Oil cleanser needs a second cleanse (your gentle water-based cleanser) to finish the job. That's literally the whole point of double cleansing.

My rule: massage for 60 seconds on dry skin, add a little water to emulsify until it turns milky, then rinse and follow with your regular cleanser. My skin has been calmer AND clearer since I stopped being scared of oil πŸ’›

(not medical advice β€” just what works for my skin πŸ’› patch test first, my loves!)

Were you an oil-cleansing skeptic too, or have you always been team double cleanse? πŸ‘‡
