Oil cleansing follows the simple principle of "like dissolves like". Oils are a special type of solvent because they’re lipophilic, meaning they attract oil molecules. So, when you massage an oil cleanser onto the skin, the oil in the cleanser attracts and pulls out oil-based impurities, such as sebum, makeup, and sunscreen, that accumulate in the skin through the day. Once the oil has bonded with the impurities, it can be easily rinsed off with water.
The size of our pores is genetic, and nothing can make them smaller in size. However, it’s not the actual size of your pores that bothers you, it’s how big they appear that bothers you. Pores appear bigger when minute particles of dust and gunk settle into them, stretch them out and make them look darker and bigger. The best way to fix this is to use an oil based cleaner (because oil attracts oil) and cleanse your skin deeply to get rid of the gunk from the pores and thereby make them look smaller.
Oil cleansing is an effective method for removing makeup because it can dissolve even stubborn, waterproof formulas that are difficult to remove with traditional cleansers. Makeup products are oil-based formulas, and these can be difficult to remove with water-based cleansers. When an oil cleanser is applied to the skin, it works to loosen and dissolve the makeup, allowing it to easily lift away from the skin's surface.
Yes, GG works very well for dry skin. Traditional foaming cleansers can be harsh and strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. Oil cleansers, on the other hand, effectively remove impurities and makeup while also providing hydration and nourishment to the skin. GG contains Mango Seed Butter which is intensely moisturising, anti-inflammatory and extremely helpful in the repair of dry, itchy skin. If your skin is extremely dry, we would recommend not following up with a second cleanser after GG.
Yes, GG will suit oily and acne-prone skin very well. It may seem counterintuitive to apply more oil to already oily skin, but using an oil cleanser can actually help to regulate the skin's natural oil production. When you strip the skin of its natural oils with harsh, drying cleansers, the skin may overcompensate by producing even more oil. However, using an oil cleanser can help to dissolve excess sebum and unclog pores without disrupting the skin's natural oil balance. GG also contains Radish Root Ferment Filtrate which has antimicrobial properties and helps prevent the growth of harmful bacteria on the skin. While GG is formulated to work as a single cleanse as it does not leave any oil residue behind, you can follow it up with a second cleanser if you feel like your skin needs it.
Yes, GG works very well for sensitive skin. In fact, it can be a gentle and effective way to cleanse the skin without causing irritation or dryness. Traditional foaming cleansers can be harsh and contain ingredients that can cause sensitivity. Oil cleansers, on the other hand, are typically formulated with natural oils that are gentle and non-irritating. They can effectively remove impurities and makeup while also providing hydration and nourishment to the skin. GG is formulated with Mango Seed Butter and Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, which are anti-inflammatory and soothing in nature. After cleansing with GG, your skin will feel deeply cleansed without any irritation or redness.
We recommend using good grease only in the PM routine. You may follow it up with a second cleanser if you feel like your skin needs it but it is not necessary as GG is formulated to work as a single cleanse without leaving any oil residue behind.
Yes, GG can be safely used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It does not contain any ingredients that increase cellular turnover like retinol, which are usually the ingredients warned against usage during such times. All ingredients used in GG are under clinically recommended doses and therefore, safe and effective on the skin. :)
