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 80% [[extra virgin olive oil]] and 20% [[castor oil]].{{Cn|date=August 2013}} 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="Nelson">{{cite webcn|urldate=http://shalommama.com/oil-cleansing-method|title=How to use the oil Cleansing Method|last=Nelson|first=Nina|coauthors=Kellie|year=2013|accessdate=30 NovemberNov 2013}}</ref> Other oils that are commonly used are [[mineral oil]], [[jojoba oil]], [[sweet almond oil]], [[coconut oil]], and [[grapeseed oil]].<ref>{{cite bookCN|lastdate=CrunchyNov Betty|first=|title=Crunchy Betty’s Food on Your Face for Acne and Oily Skin2013}}</ref>

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>{{cite webCn|urldate=http://www.theoilcleansingmethod.com/|title=The Oil Cleansing Method - A simple, cleansing facial massage for clear skin!|first=Stephanie|year=2007|accessdate=30 NovemberNov 2013}}</ref> The wash cloth is then used to wipe off the excess oil. Applied sparingly, oil may be used to moisturize the skin after the cleansing oil has been removed from the face.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.creativesimplelife.com/the-oil-cleansing-method-for-beautiful-skin-naturally/|title=The Oil Cleansing Method for Beautiful Skin Naturally|first=Alexandracn|date=7 March 2013|accessdate=30 NovemberNov 2013}}</ref>
