Tips and tricks: Put some oil on your face!

Filed in archive Beauty on November 21, 2006

As promised, I am here to give you another great tip to combat dreaded cold and dry skin, this time it's the face I'm writing about.

Every winter I stop washing my makeup off with cleansers and start removing my makeup and the built-up gunk with plain Johnson's Original Baby Oil. Although I still use a special creamy eye makeup remover (I don't think Johnson's would be able to remove three coats of mascara), I put a bit of oil on a cotton round and swipe it on my face. I don't know if ye ever tried this, but it really makes a difference if you have seasonally dry skin.

If you are worried about the oil residue that is left on your face, you can simply put some toner on a clean cotton round and gently remove the most of it, but in no case wash it of! The Beauty Brains say:

"The trick is how to remove the oil residue that's left over after the process. The most common practice is to simply wipe it off with a clean cloth. This process does leave a small amount of oil behind on your skin, which is fine if your skin is dry and you need to moisturize. What you don't want to do it wash with soap or cleansers afterwards. This defeats the purpose. But if you feel compelled to wash with soap or detergent based cleanser after cleaning with oil, you're pretty much defeating the purpose of using the oil cleansing method in the first place. And if that's the case, this method may not be for you."

If you're looking for a good oil makeup remover, try Shu Uemura, I've heard really good things about it. Or you can do it my style, cheap and chic.

Last year, the FDA has issued several safety warnings regarding the opiod skin patch Fentanyl. Now, for full safety measure, Actavis (the distributor of Fentanyl Skin Patch) has recalled the remaining Fentanyl skin patch in the U.S.
