The '''oil cleansing method''', often abbreviated to '''OCM''', is a system for cleaning a human [[face]] using [[oil]](s).<ref name="Russell">{{cite book|last=Russell|first=John D.|title=A Woman's Guide to Better Health and Beauty|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=vv-OAe_kPN8C|accessdate=30 November 2013|publisher=IH Distribution LLC|page=71}}</ref> Sometimes, oils can be mixed; one example is 50% [[extra virgin olive oil]] and 50% [[castor oil]].<ref name="Oxenreider2010"/> This mixture can be optimized based on [[skin type]] and personal preference.
