		<description>I was wondering if the OCM was for all skin color type. I am of east indian origin, is this regime still beneficial for me and as anyone tried to use the OCM to remove blackheads around the inner thigh area. Or is there a good recipe for blackhead removal.  All help is appreciated.</description>

		<description>Hi Kloggers and Helen. :)

&lt;strong&gt;Kloggers&lt;/strong&gt; - I'm certainly hearing lots of good things about sunflower oil and I'll certainly be bearing it in mind as an alternative to the current product I'm using. Thanks for sharing your experience of it. :)

&lt;strong&gt;Helen&lt;/strong&gt; - I think you're absolutely spot on with regard to how I'm looking after my skin. Although I've actually cut down on the number of products, most of what I am using has only been started very recently. My poor skin is probably wondering what on earth has hit it!

As much as I don't want to admit it, I do think it's the wheat germ in particular that I'm reacting to. I've been doing some research over the last few days and it seems to be regarded as quite comedogenic.  I'm kicking myself for not discovering this before I bought it, it's not like me to miss something so important.

I do quite like the watemelon oil though, so I think I'm going to use that exclusively for a few weeks and see how it goes. If that fails, I'll give the sunflower oil a try. 

There is a little bit of good news - I haven't done the OCM for three days and I've noticed that the Camellia &#38; Copaiba moisturiser doesn't leave me greasy anymore. I guess using all those oils together was simply too much for me.

Have fun creating your new product BTW - can't wait to see what it is! :)</description>

		<description>Hi Lovely OnlineGoddess
Having just read your latest addition Im a little worried you are unwittingly overloading your skin. Which sounds like it reacts remarkably similarly to mine. The thing is that even without the chemicals, botanical oils each have a different composition of particles which make up the individual profile of the oil you are using at that time. Trouble is finding an oil which does not clog or cause minor irritation. For me personally Wheatgerm, Rosehip, Walnut, Hazelnut are some that I immediately think of which do not suit my skin and although have wonderful beneficial qualities do either make my skin feel tight and itchy or cause whiteheads but thankfully not the fullblown biguns which I can suffer from if using a cream or petroleum based product.  
I agree with Kloggers comment in that Sunflower oil (organic) is very useful and absorbs well into the skin, may be worth a try in the mean time while you allow your skin to settle again.

Do be careful not to inadvertently try to many products on skin in close succession as in doing so your skin will flare up from the overload of attention, rather than from any specific oils used, thus making successful product choices very difficult.
Just recently I have been my own guinea pig for a new product and found that by simply overdoing the cleansing and trying different combinations of oils in quick succession I have overloaded my own skin when indeed I should know better. To sort the problem I have gone back to using my single Hemp Oil after cleansing with African Black Soap (from Sheabutter Cottage) to settle my skin, and now test the oils I wish to combine individually at first, then gradually building a suitable combination which will be tested on willing guinea pigs. Hee hee.
Obviously I realise that this would be not practical for you, but my point would be to choose a single oil such as organic sunflower or Hemp to rebalance the skin for a month or  so. Then retry a new blended product of your choice once your skin has settled and is ready to accept something new.  That way you will get a true picture of what your skin can handle. Best of luck and I look forward to reading updates of how your getting on.

		<description>Many years ago a lady that I worked with was recommended sunflower oil as a cleansing and moisturising treatment for her skin by a dermatologist. She was advised to gently apply it in smooth circular motions and splash her skin with cool water then dab dry. In truth her skin improved remarkably. I tried it myself for a while but sadly never kept it up ... The same dermatologist also advised her to take brewer's yeast which I did keep up!</description>
