    Hiya

    I use the oil cleansing method
    http://www.theoilcleansingmethod.com/

    It's great and I do not get blackheads anymore. Took about 3 weeks, 3 times a week. Excellent!

    I have also heard that milk of magnesia left on overnight works well.

    Oil cleansing method here as well. Takes a while to get the mix right but clean pores are the norm now :D

    I still use it about 3 times a week - when I remember :D

    Its like every regime going, when you start and seeing the best results, you use it religiously. Come that you get used to good skin, you only start to use it again when skin starts looking congested again

    2 or 3 times a week. the difference having clear pores makes is worth it :) As am I :rotfl:

    I alternate with a good exfoliator. Ginvera Marvel Gel or Mary Kay Timewise. I fully intend to spend 10-15 mins a day on my face. Using the oil gives the best effects for very little trouble.

    A good moisuriser is also essential for me, I use Eucerin 5% urea, blue top as a night cream and wake up mostly wrinkle free, which is nice.

    This looks brilliant!!!
    Is castor oil expensive?
    And do you use moistueriser as well? or just on the days you arent doing your oil cleansing?
    Some people feel the rain...others just get wet
