OCM (Oil Cleansing Method)

So here is something that I have been using on my face in place of soap and moisturizer: OCM! I have been using it for a couple of months and have been VERY happy. I am about to toss all of my other products. This works well under my make-up, when I wear it. It is also good at removing my mascara! When I first made it, I used 2 tsp each and it has lasted about 2 months.

Ingredients
2 tsp castor oil
2 tsp olive oil
2 drops tea tree essential oil

I have the product in a glass container with a squirt pump, and I use 2 squirts in the morning. (Only use this product once a day!) Right before I get in the shower, I apply the OCM to my fash. I get in, wet and wash my hair. I take my towel (or you can use a washcloth) and pat my face and neck dry. I continue with my shower as usual. If your face feels too oily or dry, you can increase one of the ingredients based on your needs.

"For those with acne-prone or oily skin, reduce the proportion of EVOO, and try three parts castor oil to one part EVOO. For those with drier skin, start off with one part castor oil to three parts EVOO." (Taken from http://simplemom.net/oil-cleansing-method/)
