The oil cleansing method, often abbreviated to OCM, is a system for cleaning a human face using oil(s).[1] Sometimes, oils can be mixed; one example is 50% extra virgin olive oil and 50% castor oil.[2] This mixture can be optimized based on skin type and personal preference. Oily skin can make use of a larger proportion of castor oil.[2] Other oils that are commonly used are mineral oil, jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, coconut oil, and grapeseed oil.[citation needed]
In this beauty treatment, the oil is rubbed into skin for approximately two minutes. Next, a warm, damp microfiber wash cloth is draped over face until it cools. This is to steam the face and open up the pores to further remove impurities from the skin.[2] The wash cloth is then used to wipe off the excess oil.[2] Applied sparingly, oil may be used to moisturize the skin after the cleansing oil has been removed from the face.[citation needed]
