Unlocking Radiance: The Magic of Oil Cleansing

Today, we're diving into the wonders of oil cleansing, a transformative ritual suitable for all skin types, especially those with sensitive skin. The way that oil cleansing works is that the oils in the cleanser will bind to the oils, dirt and grime on your skin effectively wiping them away. It restores balance without stripping away your skin's essential oils and defenses. That's the beauty of oil cleansing - it's a harmonious dance where like dissolves like, leaving your skin radiant and replenished. Because it is so gentle, oil cleansing can help maintain a healthy skin barrier instead of stripping your skin from all its necessary oils and fatty acids. Having a healthy skin barrier means you will suffer from less skin issues.

Oily skin types, rejoice! Contrary to popular belief, oil cleansing isn't reserved for dry or sensitive skin alone. In fact, oils rich in linoleic acid, like those found in Moonbunny's luminous cleansing oil, work wonders for oily skin by regulating sebum production. It's a myth-busting revelation that transforms skincare routines.

Traditionally, cleansing with an oil cleanser is the only cleansing step you would need. After massaging the oils into your skin, a soft, warm cloth gently removes impurities. However, some people like to follow up with a water based cleanser as well. This is known as double cleansing. You may find this additional step more beneficial if you have oily and/or troublesome skin. It's a sensory experience that pampers your skin while enhancing its natural radiance.

We love oil cleansing because not only are you cleansing your skin, you are nourishing it as well.

The luminous cleansing oil made by Moonbunny is made up of lightweight oils that won’t clog your pores. This includes watermelon seed oil as the first ingredient. Watermelon seed oil is made up of 50% linoleic acid and is a non-irritating oil that is shown to moisturize the skin. It penetrates the skin thus making it effective at removing dirt and dead skin. As with all oils in Moonbunny’s roster, it is non-comedogenic. This is what makes it so beautiful at cleansing off makeup, sunscreen, and the grime of the day.

Linoleic acid isn't just a skincare superhero; it's a natural ally found within our skin. Those battling acne are shown to have lower levels of linoleic acid in their skin. Another reason why oils high in this fatty acid are magical for our troubled skin! It's a testament to the synergy between science and nature, illuminating the path to radiant, resilient skin.
