The Oil Cleansing Method – cleansing the face with oils
How can you effectively slow down the ageing process of your facial skin in a very simple way? It won’t take you long – all you need to do is spend a few minutes on your skin every day, and you’ll be rewarded with a lifting effect and reduced wrinkles. It’s a non-invasive yet highly effective method, and thanks to shea butter-based oils, you won’t clog your pores – instead, you’ll be cleansing and regenerating your skin.
Facial cleansing with oil (The Oil Cleansing Method) is a method that confirms the well-known maxim from chemistry lessons: „like dissolves like”. Impurities, dust, oily cosmetics and excess sebum on the skin require thorough, daily cleansing.
Sebum is an oil – which is precisely why natural oils help to dissolve sebum along with impurities.
To combine proper facial cleansing with oils with a lifting effect, spend 2 minutes every day in front of the mirror – it really isn’t much to pay for a youthful, fresh and radiant complexion!
Did you know that the face has around 70 muscles that are responsible for facial expressions?
As a result of their daily, intense activity, wrinkles appear in areas such as the eyes, forehead and mouth.
Unfortunately, ageing is one of the main causes of weakness in certain muscle groups, resulting in an irregular facial contour and sagging cheeks (often referred to as “hamster cheeks”). Massage relaxes the muscles and has a similar effect to Botox – it smooths out wrinkles, giving the face a softer appearance and leaving the skin looking smoother.
How do you cleanse your face with oil?
For this treatment, as well as the oil, prepare some warm or even hot water and a towel – if you’re struggling with dilated capillaries, remember to use water at room temperature.
TAMA® oil Apply to your face and massage your skin using circular movements.
The basic techniques of a relaxing facial massage are primarily based on loosening muscles that have become tense after a long day and improving blood circulation in the skin of the face. To begin with, you can glide the knuckles of your bent fingers upwards across your entire face, adjusting the pressure depending on the area. This will stimulate lymphatic flow within the circulatory system. Focus primarily on the cheeks – the zygomatic bone, temples, jawline and the area under the chin.
Using your fingertips, massage your forehead with vertical strokes from your eyebrows to your hairline. Smooth out the nasolabial folds by gently moving your fingers from the corners of your mouth towards the sides of your nose.
Remember: always perform massage movements from the lower part of the face towards the hairline, or from the centre of the face outwards – this „lifts” the skin against the force of gravity, which enhances the lifting effect. Repeat all the movements at least 5 times.
Next, dampen a towel in hot water – or, for those with dilated blood vessels, in water at room temperature – and wipe the oil off your face. Repeat the process of applying and wiping off the oil several times. This treatment will open your pores and remove all impurities from your skin, along with sebum.
It is important to note that oiling does not completely remove sebum from the face; therefore, this treatment does not disrupt the skin’s lipid balance.
After the cleansing treatment, combined with a short massage, place a cold towel on your face; this will close your pores. Finally, apply a thin layer of shea butter.
After this treatment, you will immediately notice that your skin feels softer and more supple.
Moisturising your skin has huge benefits and will deliver powerful lifting effects after just a few weeks of regular use!
We warmly encourage you to try this method – you’ll be very pleased with the results!
