Why choose a cleansing oil

Oils dissolve oil-based makeup, including waterproof mascara and long-wear foundations, with little rubbing. They suit most skin types when rinsed well.

How to use one

  • Start with dry hands and a dry face.
  • Massage the oil gently for a minute.
  • Add a little water, massage again until it turns milky, then rinse.

What to look for

  • Formulas that emulsify and rinse clean.
  • Eye-area suitability if you plan to use it on eyes.
  • A pump bottle that is easy to dispense.

Questions about cleansing oils

Will an oil cleanser make my skin oily?
