CRUDE'S GUIDE TO OIL CLEANSING

July 9, 2015

"As someone who has struggled with cystic acne and breakouts later in life, oil cleansing is the last thing I thought would be the biggest game changer with my skin. After spending on new products year after year in search of a solution, I have finally found one in only three affordable products." -Jennifer P.

It’s time to throw away your face wash.

Sudsing cleansers and exfoliants strip and inflame the skin, and disrupt its delicate bacterial balance. Your skincare products should work with your skin, not against it, and that’s where we come in—with a suds-free, plant-based, skin-loving cleansing system that works.

STEP 1: CLEANSE

Oil cleanses the skin deeply, dissolving makeup and debris without compromising the skin's natural moisture barrier or microbiome. While soaps are stripping and irritating, our non-comedogenic miracle oil makes a gentle yet powerful cleanser.

Massage a quarter-sized amount of CLEANSE in to damp or dry skin for at least a minute to allow it to penetrate and draw makeup and impurities from deep within the skin.

STEP 2: PULL

Since water and oil still aren’t on speaking terms, you can’t rinse off oil cleansers with water alone. Enter PULL, a softer, more absorbent cloth made with the highest quality microfiber available. PULL is CLEANSE’s trusty side-kick, essential for a super deep yet oh-so-gentle oil cleanse.

After applying CLEANSE, wet PULL with warm water. Slowly and gently remove the oil from your skin using small circular motions around the face.

STEP 3: DETOX (as needed)

Peels and scrubs create inflammation in the skin and disrupt its protective oil barrier. In contrast, our DETOX Mask purifies and gently exfoliates without scrubbing, irritating or inflaming the skin.

Use as needed to regulate oil production and brighten dull or congested skin.

STEP 4: MOISTURIZE

CLEANSE doubles as a moisturizer, so if your skin feels dry after cleansing, this nourishing oil will do the trick. Featuring organic, non-comedogenic plant oils — CLEANSE gives you the perfect dewy glow while helping repair the skin’s natural moisture barrier.

Use a few drops as needed to nourish dehydrated skin, or if you want an extra boost of moisture or regeneration, try using one of our serums as your moisturizer instead.
