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. Oily skin can make use of a larger proportion of castor oil.<ref name="Oxenreider2010">{{cite book|last=Oxenreider|first=Tsh|title=Organized Simplicity: The Clutter-Free Approach to Intentional Living|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=JmaUYKyec9oC|accessdate=2 December 2013|date=2010-10-25|publisher=F+W Media, Inc.|isbn=9781440313608|pages=219–220}}</ref> Other oils that are commonly used are [[mineral oil]], [[jojoba oil]], [[sweet almond oil]], [[coconut oil]], and [[grapeseed oil]].{{CN|date=November 2013}}

In this beauty treatment, the oil is rubbed into skin for approximately two minutes. Next, a warm, damp [[microfiber]] wash cloth is draped over face until it cools. This is to steam the face and open up the pores to further remove impurities from the skin.<ref name="Oxenreider2010"/> The wash cloth is then used to wipe off the excess oil.<ref name="Oxenreider2010"/> Applied sparingly, oil may be used to moisturize the skin after the cleansing oil has been removed from the face.{{cn|date=November 2013}}
