Hazelnut Cleansing Oil - Gourri Series
Hazelnut Cleansing Oil - Gourri Series
Oil to cleanse your face? But of course! The oil cleansing method has been a favorite cleanser for many of us for some time now, but there are still some who are hesitant to use it particularly those with oily or acne prone skin. Well, as opposed to the past when acids were used to cleanse (but also dry out) skin in an attempt to combat oiliness, now oil is used to combat oil. But how?
The oil molecules of the product will first go and naturally bind to anything with an oily nucleus on your skin. This might include: make up, mascara, lipstick, SPF, sebum, dead skin cells, pollutants. A good massaging on ‘dirty’ skin after a long day will allow the oil cleanser to lift excess sebum from the pores (it is so gentle it does not strip your skin from its oils so it does not weaken the skin’s natural barrier in the same way soap does), clean out any clogged pores and draw out oily impurities. The secret is that this cleansing formula is enhanced with a water in oil emulsifier so once water is added to skin to rinse off the oil, the oil turns to a light milk (see photo), all impurities will be loosened up and removed via water rinsing. What is equally important is that no oily residue remains on the skin as in the case of using just any oil to cleanse it. Hence all skin types would benefit from its deep cleansing properties.

Oil cleansing is normally carried out in the evening. It offers a deep clean and removes impurities that have been accumulating on the skin throughout the day. Oily skin will benefit from it every evening, but some might prefer to do oil cleansing a few times per week. It will surely keep skin pores unclogged and the build up of blackheads at bay. Systematic use will lead to smooth skin texture and bright skin.
DOUBLE CLEANSING: Face cleansing is more complete when adding an extra step after oil cleansing. It actually means cleansing the face twice with two different cleansers (namely an oil cleanser first and a water-based cleanser second) to ensure all impurities are completely removed. Once you make double cleansing part of your cleansing routine, there is no going back as you see how it gradually changes the quality of the skin. A word of caution: if the water-based cleanser is highly alkaline (which is not in agreement with the acidity of the skin) then your skin will become dry and sensitive. We recommend the use of an acidic cleanser that has a similar pH to your facial skin, like Jacinthe’s Foam Soap.
