L'Eyela said:I've tried the oil thing once with disasterous results, but I probably did it wrong. My mom swears by infrequent doses of plain old baby oil. She says she works out blackheads, and those teensy little plugs in your nose. I just don't like the feeling, a simple bar of Cetaphil works for me . . .
There can be a time of adjustment, as the oils are bringing up all the impurities in your skin. Also, one needs to experiment with the ratio of oils, and even what oils to use. For example, I don't use Castor or Extra Virgin Olive Oil, as I don't have many blackheads that need to be removed anymore. Here's a good list of different types of mixes to use for different types of skin.
