Oil cleansing benefits from the experts at Province Apothecary | FairfaceWashcloths.com

"We prefer oil cleansing over other methods because it isn't drying out the skin at all, and it re-balances the skin's oil production. Oil cleansing will create harmony with the skin and is great for all skin types. If you are naturally oily, don't be afraid! Oil cleansing will re-balance your skin and prevent over production of sebum. It's an especially great cleansing method for anyone dealing with dehydration, dryness, or irritation."

"We recommend using a damp wash cloth, towel or cotton pads to remove your oil cleanser [*see below]. This ensures all of the oil is gently removed from your skin. If oil is left behind after cleansing, you will not feel clean and clarified. Remove all of your oil cleanser from the skin before applying remaining skincare products. Oil cleansing can be done twice daily for best results (morning and night)."

What is the Oil Cleansing Method & How Do You Wash With Oil?

"Our line of oil based aromatherapy skincare is great for all skin types. We blend the power of organic plant and essential oils to address a wide variety of skin concerns.

Our interview with Province Apothecary:

Does oil cleansing work? How to wash your face with oil

"Oil cleansing is an ancient technique used to effectively and gently wash the skin.

First, dampen your skin with a bit of water. Wet skin is permeable skin, meaning the oil you apply will better penetrate your skin cells.

Use a few drops of oil, like our Moisturizing Cleanser + Makeup Remover, and massage the skin in upward strokes, making sure to cover all areas of the face."

Hundreds swear by the Oil Cleansing Method for its natural, soothing properties, and many of our Fairface Washcloths customers use our soft washcloths for this gentle nightly cleansing ritual.

So how do you wash your face with oil?

We're here to tell you how.

"When it comes to our products, we use the highest quality organic, wildcrafted and bio-dynamic ingredients, sourced from various Canadian provinces. All of our products are hand made in small batches to ensure freshness and the utmost quality. Our products are always free from: petroleum, parabens, synthetic fragrances and ingredients, endocrine disruptors, carcinogens, dyes, alcohol, solvents, pesticides, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), palm oil or derivatives, cosmetic grade ingredients and toxins of any kind. We are committed to innovation, sustainability, and small-batch skincare of the highest quality."
