I've been hearing murmurings about oil-based cleansers of late - Nude Skincare and Shu Uemura are just a couple of brands that come to mind – and how they're the best thing to happen to skincare since fine-grain exfoliators. But with my oily skin, I was skeptical; the mere thought of dousing my face with grease seemed like a contradiction in terms. After trying Origins Clean Energy Gentle Cleansing Oil, however, I was happily surprised by the result.
Even though it's made with a host of vegetable oils, including olive, sunflower, sesame and safflower, it doesn't clog pores, and in fact, actually tightened my pores post-cleansing (a godsend for oily skin types). That said, it wasn't an uncomfortable tightening - my skin felt cleansed, yet not dried out. I also like that the oil turns an almost frothy white when you mix it with oil. Meanwhile, the scents of grapefruit, orange and lemon are like a breath of fresh air on groggy, early mornings. Gotta love Origins.

I can't help but admit, Orgins is the only way to go for me. the scent is heaven on a chilly morning and dare i say, my oily skin is stunning. It's cured!
When i first thought about the concept of washing my face in oil,(let's face, it how could that do me any good)i was mighty skeptical dears. Yet on one of those days when i was feeling rather bold, i decided to take a chance.
long story short, it was moisture without the greasy finish i was expecting. I understin=mated the power of Orgins.
Remember gals, it's not greasy, it's gorgeous.
Never judge a product by it's viscocity...

AA - you summed it up perfectly - moisture without the greasy feel. I'm still astonished at the effect it gives, since us oily gals are so afraid of anything oily.
AA, what are some of your other holy grail products? :)
i simply couldn't be able to pull myself together without my Smashbox lipgloss in Afterglow and me Elizabeth Arden flawlessFinish Mousse Makeup in Natural. Yet i must brag, the other day i found my newest obsession, Smashbox HYBRID 2 in 1 COLOR & SHINE LIP GLOSS in Pink Lily. Who wouldn't love a lip gloss that's gorgeous and eco-friendly?
Now we can look glam and help our gorgeous planet.

A.A. - I must admit I'm a bit of a newbie to Smashbox products, but I've liked anything I've tried (esp. the Photo Finish Primer and Photo Op Eye Brightener), so will have to check these out.
I love the look of that Smashbox HYBRID 2 in 1 Gloss - it looks like a really innovative package with color on the inside and gloss on the outside...I'm so getting this!
and gotta love a green-friendly beauty product! :)
