GlossyBox Limited Edition Holiday 2016 Box Spoiler #2!

Google “oil cleansing method”, “Korean two step cleaning” or “Korean double cleansing”. Oil attracts oil & you will find your skin levelling out, with rare or no breakouts. My daughter being almost 17 is going through an oily acne phase (my side of the family all have very dry skin, never had acne when young, so that’s why I say “phase” as it may pass) & like me has very tiny pores so it becomes cystic easily. I suggested trying the oil cleansing method with a follow up cleanser, same as the Korean double cleansing method (only without K-Beauty products) & her skin looks fab! Rarely breaks out, the texture soft & velvety! I’ve developed post menopausal hormonal acne & having such tiny pores it gets cystic very fast, so I use the Korean two step cleansing method (I do use K-Beauty products, some with very gentle exfoliants that don’t irritate) to clear up blemishes before they become too painful. You may have an initial breakout but then it should level out, can’t hurt to try, and might be a solution for you! Good luck!

Oil cleanser is actually really good to remove all makeup and skin feel soft and not overdry. Give it a try, you might love it.

I have very oily skin, and oil cleansers are actually my top choice when it comes to removing makeup. They keep my skin soft, and not tight or irritated like a like of other cleansers geared toward oily skin do. However, I only use it at night, and not in the morning since I only use oil cleansers to remove makeup, then I go in with a 2nd cleanser to actually clean my face.

Oil cleansers are actually supposed to be great, even for people with oily skin. The thought is that your oil glands are over-producing oil and if you add oil to the skin, your skin should eventually reduce natural production. If you’re interested in some research, you can look into the double cleanse method, which is popular in Korean beauty routines.

So true! I am still madly in love with the Lip Bar lipstick from the Holiday 2014 box. But that’s a good American brand, made in America, quality packaging, amazing formula, fantastic red colour. But Bad Medina?! Really? Looks as bad as Medusa’s Makeup.
Although even serious companies have been known to release weird colours – a grey Dior lipstick or a green Bite one, for example.
I am always left wondering – who buys these colors and actually wears them?

I thought the same thing!

Nope, me either.
