The Oil Cleansing Method is a way of cleansing the skin using oils and massage. Oil to cleanse the skin? It sounds counter-intuitive but oils can dissolve hardened oil that can get stuck in your pores, and also help remove other impurities such as built up dirt, sweat, and makeup. The massage part helps the oil get deeper in your pores to do its work, and who doesn't love a good massage?

This can be particularly helpful to those suffering from blemishes, or for removing heavy makeup and/or sunscreen. We made this using a mixture of drawing and moisturizing oils. The drawing oils help pull out and dissolve old oils, and the moisturizing oils, such as Jojoba Oil, are high in antioxidants and help keep skin hydrated and soft. This means you can cleanse and moisturize your skin at the same time! How’s that for multi-tasking?

Cleansing with oil is particularly beneficial because it doesn't strip the skin of its natural oils, which can ultimately lead to an overproduction of more oil and lead to further breakouts. To find out more, check out our blog post on the topic of cleansing with oil here.

What type of skin is the Nourishing Deep Pore Oil Cleanser best for?

This cleanser is made for absolutely anyone and everyone but it’s especially effective for those with blemish-prone, oilier and drier skin types. While it may sound counterintuitive to wash your face with an oil-based cleanser, trust us on this one. We don’t believe in blasting skin with harsh detergents or bleaching ingredients to keep blackheads and pimples at bay. Stripping the skin of its natural oils can leave skin dreadfully dry, damaged and distressed, not to mention kick it into oil-making overdrive, causing congestion which can lead to even more breakouts. Designed to dissolve deep down dirt with drawing oils to combat congestion, helps to regulate the skin’s oil production to prevent the bummer of breakouts and leaves all skin types feeling nicely nurtured and nourished. This one can be used every day as required, as a weekly deep pore cleansing treatment or alongside a water-based cleanser for a double cleanse.

How do you use the Nourishing Deep Pore Oil Cleanser?

The best way to use an oil cleanser is to simply massage it into the skin. The longer you do this, the better as it allows the drawing oils to penetrate deeper into the pores and dissolve old, hardened oil, sweat, dirt and makeup that can be clogging your pores. It’s also a great excuse for a face massage which feels nice too. Wet your hands with water and massage again to emulsify the oils, then rinse off with water. For an extra deep clean, after the oil has been massaged into the skin, soak a washcloth in hot water, wring out and place it on your face to steam out built-up impurities. This will help pores open and allow the oils to penetrate further and clean down deeper. Rinse with water or wipe face clean. Follow with your favourite serum and moisturizer (we make a few!).

Why don't we make different cleansers for different skin types?

We often get asked why we don’t make different cleansers specific to different skin types such as dry, oily, normal or combination skin (although we used to). While we believe that people have different skin types, if you look closely at ingredient labels, you’ll notice that there often isn't much difference in the ingredient lists between products for different skin types. It's kind of like pet food made specifically for indoor pets and outdoor pets (which is actually a thing). All our cleansers are suitable for all skin types, but the cleanser format you choose, whether it’s cream, foam, oil etc. will depend on your skincare goals and personal preference.

What other products do you recommend for blemish-prone skin?

While our products work well on their own, we think they work best together. Teamwork makes the dream work! To best care for blemish-prone and oilier skin types, we recommend using this cleanser conjunction with a soothing and regenerative serum or face oil like our Calophyllum Inophyllum (Tamanu) Seed Oil (100%), and our Blemish Cleansing Moisturizer which we specifically designed to help control some common causes for blemishes and breakouts while nurturing the skin with healthy and gentle ingredients. Approaching your skin concern at every step in your routine will allow the products you use to work together synergistically to best achieve your skincare goals. We also recommend a routine with regular exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and keep pores clear of cloggage and congestion. Our Gentle Exfoliating Micro Powder is a clear choice for its 2-pronged approach to exfoliation, physical and enzymatic, and because we designed it to draw out impurities and soothe the skin at the same time.

Are your cleansers made of milk?

We aren’t called MooGoo because our moisturizers are made of milk. If you think about it, putting any meaningful amount of fresh milk into a cream and putting it on a shelf in a store for a while would not end well – yuck!

Are your cleansers safe for lash extensions?

Oils can break down the glue used for lash extensions, so we suggest you steer clear of using the Nourishing Deep Pore Oil Cleanser when wearing them. Our other cleansing products are perfectly suitable to use on the eye area while you’ve got lashes on.
