    The 'oil cleansing method' :thumbsup that dhanikka suggested really worked wonders...i used 1 part of castor oil with 4 parts of coconut oil(this is what I had in hand)...i applied the mix on my face n neck...massaged it for a couple of minutes...put a steaming hot towel on my face and let it rest for a couple of mins ..as soon as the towel went cold, idid the steaming once again...thats it...2 mins work..and my face was looking fresh....i'm planning to do it again after 2/3 days....one suggestion 'donot scrub your face...the steam itself should help remove the dirt and the sticky oil off of ur face...

    Whats the connection between cleansing and hair growth?!
    Hyperpigmentation from acne marks: use sunscreen, hydrate, use a brightening serum.


    You're welcome. Let me know if it worked for you. : )


    Gayathri, thanks for coming back and posting. Glad it worked for you. : ).

    You're welcome Hemlatha.

    Brand of almond oil, I've mostly used the Now brand, you can find it in health food stores, and online (on Amazon) etc. You could also use any other oil - sunflower seed oil, jojoba oil, olive oil... they should all work, Castor oil is the magic element that draws out the impurities from your pores, so make sure you use Castor oil with another carrier oil like the ones mentioned above. You should actually be able to find them just about anywhere :)

    Serum - is more subjective, you might want to test a couple brands and kinds based on your skin's specific needs. I've eventually settled on Shiseido's stuff (Benefiance and Bio-performance lines), most of it agrees very well with my skin's needs, but it might not work for everyone - the key is to figure out what your skin needs, read the labels, read the reviews (esp. from people whose skin is like yours), and then sticking to a simple routine. : )

    Daanika, do you wash your face with cold water after the oil cleansing method? I mean to close the pores... or is steaming the last step?

    You could, but isn't necessary. Its pretty flexible and you could tweak it as suits your skin's needs.

    The only thing to be careful about it is to adjust the frequency of how often you do this, too much, and the Castor oil will dry out your skin causing flakiness. Too little, and it might not seem like its doing much. I don't do it any more than twice a week or so.
