Does anyone know if it is a good idea to mix hazelnut and hemp together for an OCM cleanse?
I understand based on several sites' info these may be good oils for my male-combo/dry-sensitive skin, but can someone with experience help me understand if this will be a good/bad mix? |

| The original recipe is castor oil plus something like olive oil, but I don’t see any glaring issues from mixing the two you mention. With ratios you want to experiment. Starting out with a 50:50 ratio is wise and then depending on what you want from the oils you can experiment. With dry-sensitive skin the hemp is a good choice, but hazelnut may not be. You may want to opt for olive oil – as that’s more suited to dry and sensitive skins. |

| You need a cleansing oil like Castor Oil and then a ratio of moisturizing oil like jojoba. You can also add in some essential oils. Google different recipes and there is also many on here. |

Just my two cents...
Castor oil is rather thick and I would not use it to cleanse. I DO like it to condition lashes and brows and I am seeing a bit of growth.
The Hazelnut oil is the main ingredient in clarins Lotus Oil.
Personally I would patch test every oil first and start with one. You can buy a sample pack of oils of three from Garden of Wisdom for around $10.00. The site has the oils in categories based on skin types.
I do make my own DIY cleansing oil and buy the emulsifier from GOW. The emulsifier helps it rinse clean.I do not add essential oils. While they smell nice, I don't see any benefit to my skin. EO increase the chance of irritation.
When you mention OCM, I would not steam especially sensitive skin. I am talking about an oil based cleanser.
A couple of choices from the grocery store are olive, grapeseed (better for oily) and safflower. The safflower is the base in clinique cleansing balm. |
