The details on a alternative clensing method, Oil. Rather than using chemical products that strip te skin of natural oils, this method helps to balance the skins natual oils.

The basic recipe is:
8 parts sunflower seed oil
2 parts Castor Oil

For dry skin put in more sunflower seed oil, for oily skin put in more castor oil. Remeber that you skin may be reacting to chemicals in your current washing practice, so moitor an adapt over time.

I also add in a couple of drops of vitamin E oil and a couple of drops of an essential oil for fragrance.
