Over cleaning with cleansers and scrubs can create more blemishes. Being gentle with the skin is better. The skin does need some oils. If you clean all oils then more will be produced and clog pores. Finding the right balance for your own skin is key. If you are still getting blemishes and have no medical reason for this then try a gentle cleanser in the morning and if your skin feels dirty or oily through the day just wash it with water. At night you can use your regular, harsher cleanser. This will not cost you any extra to try but i assure you within a month your blemishes will improve.

Finding the right cleanser:

Normal skin: Try our Milk Pack Cleanser which contains milk, honey and royal jelly to leave your skin soft, smooth and pampered. Foaming cleanser is not recommended to use for normal skin as it will dry your skin out. Alternatively, you might want to try our water-based cleanser, Umi no Gel.

Oily skin: Try our White Jelly Foaming Cleanser which is specially formulated for sensitive skin, pimples, freckles and blemishes.

If your skin is dry, why not try our natural moisturiser, Olive Virgin Oil. Our olive oil bursts with vitamins to help nurture and revitalise your complexion.

A night repair cream has been proven to enhance the natural regenerative mechanism of the skin by reducing wrinkles, facilitating hydration, controlling how the skin responds to aging influences while also promoting its regeneration and recovery. Just as the name suggests, night repair cream works as you sleep. The best thing is that it works together with your body’s natural function during sleep. The night repair cream contains ingredients that replenish damages caused to the skin throughout the day.

You may likely wonder why you should use a night repair cream when there are many daytime creams that can perform similar functions. The main difference is that night repair creams contain thicker formulations of ingredients. They also contain more anti aging and nourishing ingredients which are necessary for stimulation and cell renewal. They also promote the elasticity of the skin which is significant in reducing wrinkles, age spots as well as fine lines. Unlike day creams they do not contain SPF ingredients. The key ingredient in BIO Rever Night Repair Cream is fundamental to its effectiveness. The night cream contains lecithin, which is closely, chemically consistent to vitamin B, an essential lipid building block. Lecithin comes from soybeans, an emulsifying, dispersing, antioxidant, which seeps into the skin and provides an excellent condition.

On the other hand, daytime creams are usually light in texture. The ingredients aim at moisturizing the skin and protecting it from the ultraviolet radiation of the sun which may be harmful to the skin. As a result therefore, daytime creams contain SPF ingredients. It is however recommended that one should use night repair creams suitable for their skin type as well as age group.

Night repair creams are more effective since the skin can absorb active ingredients better at night than daytime. What is more, it is during the night that the skin is bound to lose more of the essential moisture. Therefore, the night repair cream will help the skin restore this moisture while at the same time absorbing more skin nourishing ingredients contained in the night repair creams.

Cold pressing is the method used in producing Super Virgin Olive Oil. This method requires no heat, no chemical additives and therefore, all nutrients and vitamins remain after extraction. This is what we call Pure Olive Oil. Olive oil contains absolutely no chemical substances and additives. However, it contains Vitamin A, D, E and K which the skin needs to improve the texture of our skin and hair, as well as to promote blood circulation and growth of hormones. Besides that, it can act as a UV protector to protect our skin from being damaged by harmful UV rays. Olive Oil is safe to use for both baby and adult.

EFFECT AND USAGE OF SUPER VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

The general facial cleansers strip out the natural oils of the skin and make it dry. The essential oils of the skin are essential for its protection and health. Olive oil facial cleansers effectively cleanse the skin without stripping it of the natural oils.

Here are 7 great reasons which would change the way you think about olive oil facial cleansers –

1) Olive oil cleanse the pores of the toxins and dirt. In this way, they make the skin healthy and prevent acne breakouts. Remember, oil dissolves oil.

2) Olive oil is rich in antioxidants. This helps to combat free radicals, which are one of key reasons of skin aging. It also helps against UV sunray!

3) Olive oil is rich in vitamin A. It gives the skin a natural glow and vitality.

4) The composition of olive oil is very similar to human sebum (natural oils secreted by the skin). Thus, olive oil facial cleansers do not cause allergic reactions.

5) After using olive oil facial cleansers, you will feel that your skin becomes soft and smooth. It is absorbed quickly and does not leave a greasy or buttery feeling behind.

The reasons we have so much trouble with mainstream skin care products are numerous, but two reasons, in particular, lead the pack. These products strip the oil out of our skin, leaving our largest organ trying to repair itself by replacing the oil stripped away. This leaves us in a cycle of being tight and dry followed by the inevitable oil slick. Each time we strip the oil away, our skin over-compensates for the lack of moisture by creating more oil. On top of the drying effects, these products are highly-scented. Fragrance is one of the top skin irritants and strangely enough, even the so-called “unscented” products usually contain fragrance. See for yourself and check the labels. Dry, irritated skin replaced by oily skin, inflamed and trapping debris?

If we know what our body is going to do and understand the process, we can then understand what it takes to control it and achieve the results we want. Clear skin is attainable.

Getting right down to basics, when cleansing and moisturizing your skin, it is imperative that you keep in mind that oil dissolves oil. Your skin naturally lubricates itself with oil, and as we are creatures of adaptation, one can believe that if this weren’t the appropriate built-in care for ourselves, our bodies would have adapted to suit the need. If you’ve been battling your skin for long, you’re probably recoiling at the mere thought of applying oil to your face. You can imagine the slick, greasy, clogging feeling of smearing sludge all over your face. If you stay with me and read the rest of this article, that mental image will be replaced by a more comforting, Zen-like image of a relaxing spa massage. I promise. Let your curiosity get the better of you, read the article, then decide if you should give this method of skin care a go.

Do not be afraid of applying oil to your face. Oil, alone, will not bring you blemishes. Pimples, cysts, zits, blackheads, whiteheads…these are a result of several different factors including hormones, bacteria, dead skin cells and the buildup of these factors. Your skin naturally produces oil because it needs it. It is not a malicious force to be reckoned with; it is there for the benefit of your skin, allowing your largest organ to function properly. It is naturally occurring. Not only does your natural oil help lubricate, it also heals, protects, and moisturizes your skin so that it may function properly. Properly functioning skin is beautiful, clear, and glowing. Learning to work with your skin, not against it, will save you tremendously.

While we’re talking about clarifying your skin externally, we must also touch on the internal aspect. WATER! Drink no less than 8 glasses of water a day. If your skin has issues with blemishes, drink up! Water will help release and remove the toxins from within, lessening the load on your skin to push the toxins out. Carry a bottle of water around with you throughout the day so water is always available.

Now, to the main point of this article.

The basic concept of this skin care and cleansing method is that the oil used to massage your skin will dissolve the oil that has hardened with impurities and found itself stuck in your pores. The steam will open your pores, allowing the oil to be easily removed. Should you need it, the smallest drop of the same oil formula patted over damp skin will provide the necessary lubrication to keep your skin from over-compensating in oil production.

We will need two oils. The first, and most importantly, is Castor Oil. If you don’t have this medicine cabinet staple already, it can be found online or in the laxative section of your grocer or drugstore – usually bottom shelf. Castor Oil has potent anti-inflammatory properties, but is also healing and cleansing, which is why we’re focusing on this oil as our primary oil. Castor Oil has been the focus of many books and medical discussion because of its seemingly “magical” healing properties. As quoted in The Oil That Heals by Dr. McGarey, he states, “Castor oil will leave the body in better condition than it found it.” Though it may be our most important oil, we won’t be using it in the amounts that we will the other oil (or combination of oils for those who want to take this a step further). A little bit of Castor Oil goes a long way and too much will leave you, surprisingly, with dry skin.

Since Castor Oil is so thick and its cleansing properties so strong, we need to dilute it with another oil, thinner in consistency, but no less nurturing to the skin. Sunflower Seed Oil has become my personal favorite, though in the past, I’ve suggested Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Both are wonderfully caring oils for skin application, but I’ve found that Sunflower Seed Oil has a more luxurious feel for massage. It sinks into the skin better, aiding the castor oil in transportation deep into the pores and allowing it to draw the dirt and grime to the surface of your skin where it can be wiped away. The essential fatty acids, though they are not naturally occurring in the body, are a necessity for the health of our cell membranes. These acids help restore the skins natural moisture balance and help prevent unnecessary dryness. The secondary oil that you choose is entirely up to you and should be determined by your skins needs and the properties of that oil. Choose from natural, cold-pressed vegetable oils, as these have nutrients, vitamins, and fatty acids that mineral oil and other refined oils don’t. You may even have these oils in your kitchen, as they’re used for cooking, as well! For the sake of explaination, from this point on, we’ll say “Sunflower Seed Oil” in place of “Secondary Oil.” Remember that Sunflower Seed Oil may be replaced by your vegetable oil of choice.

Your Personal Oil Blend

The starting point for creating your own, personalized skin cleansing oil blend is knowing your general skin type. Those with dry skin will want less Castor Oil. Those with oily skin will want to blend in more. Finding your perfect combination of oils will probably take a little bit of trial and error, so start with very small batches. Once you know what your ratio of oils looks like, you’ll be able to blend much more at a time for convenience.

Some suggestions in creating your blend of deep cleansing oil:

Oily Skin: Try a blend of 30% Castor Oil to 70% Sunflower Seed Oil.
Balanced Skin: Try a blend of 20% Castor Oil to 80% Sunflower Seed Oil.
Dry Skin: Try a blend of 10% Castor Oil to 90% Sunflower Seed Oil.
You can vary these percentages to match your own skins needs. If your skin feels too dry, you’ll need to use less Castor Oil and replace it with more Sunflower Seed Oil. Keep in mind that Castor Oil is the drawing, cleansing, and purging oil for your pores. The Sunflower Seed Oil is to dilute the Castor Oil in viscosity (thickness) and additionally provide moisture, nutrients, and other benefits. My own, personal blend, for my sometimes oily, sometimes dry, frequently flakey, and easily irritated skin is about 25% Castor Oil to 75% Sunflower Seed Oil. I mix and store my mixture in a clean four-ounce flip-top bottle for convenience. When you go to replenish your oil blend, I suggest cleaning your bottle thoroughly with dish soap or the dishwasher. Better yet, if you can replace the bottle, this is ideal. We want to be extremely cautious in introducing bacteria to the bottle.

The Oil Cleansing Method

First and foremost, this is typically done in the evening, prior to bed. There should be no need for deep cleansing in the morning if you’re waking up with skin cleansed the night before. In the morning, a quick wipe with a warm washcloth should suffice. We don’t want to overcleanse our skin as this will serve only to irritate and cause more oil production. The objective of using this method is to deep clean while balancing our skins oil production at the same time.

You’ll need a soft washcloth, your oil blend, and hot, running water.
Pour a generous puddle of oil into the palm of your hand. Roughly, the size of a quarter, but more is acceptable. Rub your hands together to warm the oil and smooth over your face.
Begin massaging the oil into your face. This will remove makeup, dirt, and other impurities, so there is no need to use a makeup remover or wash your face prior to the massage. I’ve found that this removes even my stubborn waterproof mascara and concealor.
Using slow, firm motions across the skin, massage the oil deeply into your pores. Take your time and focus on your problem areas. You want the oil to work into your pores so that blackheads and the like can be dissolved and steamed away.
As you’re massaging, let your mind drift off to something calming and breathe deeply. Take this time to relax and release some of the stress that your body is harboring. Sit down, breathe deeply, and take your time. Give the oil enough time to work on dissolving the impurities in your pores and give yourself enough time to unwind. Picture what your face would look like if it were completely clear and free from blemishes. Focus on that image and know that it is attainable. Trust that it is attainable. Accept that it is attainable. You can have clear skin, free of blemishes and you will have clear skin, free of blemishes. Focus on perfect skin and breathe deeply.
Once you’re satisfied that your pores are saturated and you’re feeling calm, pick up your washcloth and soak it in clean, steamy water. We want the water to be warm enough to open your pores and remove the oil. Cool water will not open your pores, nor will it remove the oil efficiently. We’re not scalding our skin, we’re steaming to coax our pores to release the oil carrying the impurities. We’re essentially steaming our skin as an esthetician would, but without the luxury of a steam machine.
Hold the washcloth to cover your face. Allow it to stay until it cools. You will feel your pores releasing the impurities. Wipe the oil gently away and rinse the washcloth well in hot, running water. Hold the washcloth to your face again, allowing it to cool. Wipe gently, rinse well, and repeat two or three more times. Avoid any temptation to scrub, as you’ll find it’s completely unnecessary and your skin will be soft, smooth, and free of flakes without the additional manual exfoliation and irritation that will result. Impurities, dead skin cells, and bacteria will be gently swept away.
Have no fear of the oil, as the steamy washcloth will remove it. The Castor Oil, though it is an oil, will help with the removal of the other oils, as well. It is our main cleansing oil and is easily removed with warm water.
If your skin feels tight, take a tiny drop of your oil blend, rub it between your clean, damp palms and pat it onto your damp skin. Gently massage any oil residue into your skin so there is no film of oil left sitting on the surface. Your skin should now glow!

This deep cleansing method should be done regularly, but not too frequently. You’ll know if you’re deep cleansing too frequently by the dryness that your skin will exhibit. Don’t be surprised if you find you’ve unblocked an oil flow for the first few days. Once you remove the plugs from your pores, they will begin functioning properly again. Perfect skin won’t happen overnight and while it should take a few massages to achieve your goal, you should notice a huge difference in your skin after the first deep cleansing massage. Give your skin a few days to adjust and adapt to being clean and clear of blockages; understand that the new oil coming from your skin is actually a good sign and will balance out very shortly. You’ll find redness and irritation subsiding. You’ll find your skin losing that “congested,” and thick feeling.
