Whenever I mention the Oil Cleansing Method or OCM I get a little bit of a push back and fear from my readers. Which is totally understandable. When you have acne you are warned that putting oil on your face does more harm than good.

Also with oil, you are never sure how it is going to react with your skin. So I generally suggest that anyone with mild to severe acne hold off until their acne is healed to try OCM.

The book I am going to review will be “The Acne Cure – The Non Prescription Plan That Shows Dramatic Results In Little As 24 Hours” by  Dr. Terry Dubrow.

The Benefits Of Green Tea For Acne

by Leave a Comment

I have seen a lot of dermatologists for my acne. However, it was the last 2 that I learned something from. Something that would help cure my acne. And no, it was not some secret they shared with me.

Both of them stood out as they had the most amazing looking skin. It was smooth, clear and not a pore was visible. While the people in their waiting rooms did not have the best of skin, I was pretty sure these 2 were doing something they were not sharing with their patients.
