I decided to go all in and use the OCM morning and night. My skin was looking amazing for the first week. It was soft, even complexion, no pimples, minimal black and white heads, hydrated, glowing, etc. After that, my face began breaking out like a champ. I heard that it's supposed to "purge" and all that jazz, which is fine, but my face just kept purging. I thought maybe it was too much oil and my skin was getting clogged up. I would apply a small amount of coconut oil to my hands, warm it up, massage on face and remove, multiple times, with a hot face towel, then tone and go on with life as usual. I stopped cleansing with oil in the morning and returned to my Pangea cleanser which brought my skin back to normal.
I now only use oil to cleanse off makeup as well to moisturize, otherwise, I use Pangea or any other facial cleanser that I have on hand morning and night. I might give this another go using a different oil, but I'm not sure yet. I would like to and will be trying out the honey challenge as soon as I'm close to running out of my facial cleansers. Honey is antibacterial, full of antioxidants and a natural humectant (attracts and retains moisture) which I think would work amazingly well for my skin and all other skin types.
Have you tried either the Oil Cleansing Method or Honey Challenge? Let me know!
