Oil cleansing is making its rounds again as the best way to cleanse skin and balance your skin’s natural oils. Perfectly Posh has TWO amazing oil-based products that will transform your skin and leave you positively GLOWING!

Growing up, I had extremely oily skin. For the longest time, I was afraid of using moisturizers on my face, let alone a face oil! I would use harsh, painful face washes that stripped my face from all oils and left it dry; only to have to rewash my face in a couple of hours due to the excessive amount of oil my face had produced. When I joined Perfectly Posh, I learned that using a moisturizer was essential to keeping my face hydrated. If it is already moisturized, then there’s no need for your skin to produce more oils!

Then Perfectly Posh came out with the Olive My Love oil cleanser and Love Me Dew face oil; and I thought “oh no, no way will that work on my face.” Until I tried it. Now, I am in love!

As you can see in the picture, Olive My Love barely has a lather, and you only need 6-8 drops. It feels like rubbing a light oil all over your face (because, well, you are!). Even when you rinse your face afterwards, it feels like there is an oil on the surface; but the second you dry your face, it isn’t oily. You’re left with a clean, clear face that feels moisturized, not dry or tight. Plus it’s amazing at removing stubborn makeup!

Next is the Love Me Dew face oil. This one really scared me. I thought I was going to be a greasy mess, but I was pleasantly surprised! I use around 4-6 drops of this oil and spread it all over my face and neck. It soaks in almost instantly and is not greasy or oily at all. In fact, my face GLOWS. The pomegranate and rosehip oils give your skin a gorgeous illumination.

The combination of these two products have transformed my entire complexion. In the picture above, I JUST got done using this combo. Do I look oily at all?! Nope! There’s way less oil produced, less acne, reduced redness, no dry patches… I could go on and on! It’s seriously AMAZING!

So, WHY does this work? How does putting oil on your face make your face less oily?

Basic chemistry teaches us that oil dissolves oil. So when you massage oil into your skin, you are breaking down the dirt and dried oil that clogs pores. Cleansing with Olive My Love breaks down all of those nasty oils that cause imperfections. Love Me Dew then replenishes moisture to your face and gives you the radiant glow we all desire from our skin.

Olive My Love is $23 and Love Me Dew is $20. They’re 100% worth the investment, especially since I’ve been using them twice a day for three weeks haven’t even used ¼ of the bottles! Trust me, your skin will thank you!
