Yes, I just thought about it, and that's a very important point which I think is worth reiterating since I think there might be some confusion here. To my understanding the OCM is supposed to act as a cleanser which not only removes surface dirt, but also draws out impurities from underneath the surface (extra yuk!). Its supposed to be washed off or wiped away, like any cleanser. Not left on the skin.
So this is something different from applying & leaving oils on your skin for moisturizing or treatment etc. Your skin may retain a touch of the oil, but anything you put on porous skin does that, whether you can detect it or not - and this should be a very negligable amount. So I think a really important part of OCM is steaming & completely wiping away the oil (with toner if that's what works for you, or simply a washcloth or microfibre).

Jonny,
I hope you didn't take my post the wrong way, I should say best way for me, living in South Florida a virtual sauna most all year long and very rarely turning on the heat. Combine that with insanely normal skin I think it's the best routine for me. |
Darkmoon- Rest assured that I did not take your post in the wrong way. In July and August when I get your Florida humidity I will not be applying any oil. My skin will provide far more than enough. The use of oil when the humidity is 90% would not be the "best routine" for me. |
