Weekly OCM Routine

1.
Apply BHA to dry skin - no need to cleanse skin with a cleanser beforehand.
Let sit for at least 15 minutes.

2.
Several different cloths for this.
1. A hot damp washcloth for steaming the face.
2. A dry towel to pat the face dry after steaming.
3. A microfiber towel to remove/wipe away the oil after OCM

3.
Whatever oil
My favorite is a thicker mineral oil sold as laxatives that has tocopherol added. It seems to pull gunk out better.
Baby oil works, argan oil works, jojoba oil work, etc. Its your preference.

4.
Wipe the oil off the face after the OCM massage with a soft microfiber towel - wipe in a *downward* direction - never upwards.
You can wash the oil residue off after this, or leave it on to moisturize.

5.
Take advantage of your lubed-up face and dermaplane/shave the vellus hairs off for a super smooth result.
I also use this time to touch up my eyebrows.

6.
You can leave the OCM oil on, or you can wash the residue off if you'd prefer.
Use an oil-based, oil to milk, cleanser after dermaplaning to remove every drop of oil.

1.
Moisturize the skin, replenish the oils you removed, with more "clean" oils. A mix of jojoba and rosehip is my favorite.

2. A small dab of Tea Tree Oil on any active acne *on top* of your moisturizer/oil combo.
A blend of jojoba oil and TTO is my favorite, kept in a rollerball bottle.

Tuesday
Use this or the peel off mask to remove any SFs and gunk leftover from Sundays OCM.
The idea is that the Sunday OCM may have "loosened up" some stubborn clogs that can now be easier to remove with a pore strip.

Tuesday
Use this or the Biore strips to pull out any blackheads and gunk leftover from Sundays OCM.
Peel off masks also can remove leftover vellus hairs like waxing.
