OCM: Dispensing

[teacup]

Does anyone premix and store their oil in the shower or sinkside? I am finding keeping two bottles and mixing every time cumbersome.

(And am I wiping too hard/too much? The first time it was like heaven. The last couple times have left my face dry. Grr.)

Thanks.

I keep my oil mixed in a small plastic squirt bottle! Start with a dry face, add oil massage, hot cloth steam, rub, rinse rub a couple times. If you are dry after that, you may want to adjust your olive oil/castor oil ratio. Use more olive if you are too dry! HTH!

I just keep mine in one bottle but then again, I don't use castor oil either... just evoo with lavender and tea tree oil... the castor oil may be what is drying your face out... I have been using this method for a while now and my face has never looked better! I never even used it with the castor oil because I didn't have any on hand when I began and my face looked so good (imo) I figured, why mess with success?

I had a small squirt bottle of olive oil at dd's changing table, that we hadn't used for a while on her. I just put that in the shower and have been using it just fine by itself (no castor oil, no essential oils, etc.). Like the pp, it's been working great, so I don't have any desire to tinker with it!

Excellent. Thanks everyone.

I put some olive oil in a baby bottle (well, they're just sitting there getting dusty!) and "milk" some out onto my fingertips to massage in. Weird, huh?

I have found that my skin is not drying out so much now, I am guessing there is an adjustment period.

I was so excited when I realized I had the squirt bottle from the hospital, but then bummed when I realized I'd tossed the cap (fearing my daughter, who plays with the bottle in the tub, might eat it). So, I bought a similar bottle from Wild Oats today. Gonna stir up my concoction later.

I thought there might be some adjustment, too, but that first night left me silky smooth. I think it's the ratio. (Ha! About your bottle technique: Whatever gets your face clean, right? I am wondering if the oil will degrade the nipple? Just a random thought.)
