The oil cleansing method is simple. The most important thing is not rushing the massage step, which is where the actual cleansing happens.
Step 1. Start with a dry face. Don't wet your skin first.
Step 2. Apply a small amount of oil to your fingertips, roughly the size of a dime to a quarter.
Step 3. Massage it into your skin using circular motions for one to two minutes. Cover your full face, including around your nose, forehead, and chin. The massage loosens sebum, sunscreen, makeup, and buildup.
Step 4. Wet a clean washcloth with warm water. Not hot. Press it gently against your face for 10 to 15 seconds.
Step 5. Wipe the oil away gently. Don't scrub. Rinse the cloth and repeat once if needed.
Step 6. Pat dry. Your skin should feel clean but not tight. If it feels tight, that's the sign of a cleanser stripping your barrier. With a biocompatible oil, you shouldn't feel that.
One note on DIY vs. soap bars. The classic oil cleansing method calls for straight oil applied and removed with a warm cloth.
That works. But if you're already washing with a tallow soap bar, the method is different and in our view, better.
A quality tallow soap bar cleans without stripping the skin's oil. You're not removing sebum and leaving skin bare; you're preserving the oils that belong there.
Many customers find the tallow soap bars more practical for daily use, especially for the whole body, and report no dryness, no itch, and no filmy residue.
For best results, wash while your skin is slightly damp, then apply our hydrating face butter to your face and one of our whipped body butters to the rest of your body before you fully dry off. The moisture seals in and the tallow locks it there.
