Why Use an Oil-Based Cleanser?
If you’ve ever struggled to fully remove long-wear makeup or sunscreen, an oil-based cleanser might be the game-changer your skincare routine needs. Oil attracts oil, meaning it effortlessly dissolves excess sebum, SPF, makeup, and grime—without disrupting your skin’s natural moisture barrier.
Unlike harsh foaming cleansers, oil-based cleansers leave your skin feeling soft and hydrated, not tight or dry.
How to Use an Oil-Based Cleanser
Step 1: Start with dry hands and a dry face.
This part is key. Water can interfere with the cleansing oils, so skip the splash and go straight in.
Step 2: Massage gently.
Take your time massaging the cleanser in circular motions—this helps break down makeup and encourages circulation. Don’t forget the hairline, jawline, and around the nose.
Step 3: Rinse with warm water.
The oils emulsify and rinse clean without leaving residue. Follow up with a water-based cleanser if you’re double cleansing (especially important if you’re acne-prone or wear a lot of makeup).

Take your time. A 30–60 second massage lets the ingredients work and improves lymphatic drainage.
