Joik's deep cleansing facial oil - over and done with

Finally managed to finish the Joik face cleansing oil I bought in February 2009. I used it about twice a week while bathing and lately I had been using it with baking soda - to add abrasiveness and remove old skin more efficiently (smeared the oil on the skin, letting it work it's magic for a while, then took some baking soda, rubbed the skin over with it before taking the hot sponge and removing all of the goo).

It's a good product, removes all sorts of grease-based cosmetics and the skins own sebum like a charm. Main ingredients are sunflower oil, olive oil, ricinus oil, jojoba oil and some essential oils like lemongrass, lavender and tea tree oil. It's fairly cheap, 60 kroons per 100 ml bottle ($5, £3) that'll last you a year at least. They say on the homepage "use a teaspoon of oil" but that would be enough to cover your face, neck and decollete. 5 drops is enough for the face. I think I will not buy again, I'll just mix some myself.

IMPORTANT! Please note it also contains ricinus communis oil - a well known laxative if consumed orally, and also a pretty potent hair growth agent. Some people have been complaining that they have literally grown beards (hair growth on the cheeks accelerated) after using the cleansing oil. It's individual of course, I can't really complain about having a beard :D.

Sain lõpuks Joigi sügavpuhastava näoõliga ühele poole. Hea toode aga ma vist ei viitsi teist korda osta. Päevalille, oliivi, riitsinus ja jojobaõlid kõik niikuinii kodus olemas, saab ka ise segada. Niikuinii kasutasin seda viimasel ajal soodaga pastaks segatuna, et nahka efektiivsemalt koorida. Õlipuhastus kui selline sobib mu nahale kaunis hästi.

  1. 2-3x nädalas kasutades sai mul see toode max 1,5kuuga otsa. Riitsinusõli põhjustas näkku mõnusa karvakatte ka :S
    Puhastajana aga sobis hästi.

  2. Kusjuures ma lugesin kusagilt foorumist täpselt sama asja. Aga kuna ma kogu aeg karvane olnud, pole tähele pannudki :). Nüüd suvalised köögikapist võetud õlid kasutusel.

  3. Kuidas see sooda nahale mõjus? Kust sa üldse seda tead, et sooda midagi aitab?

  4. Sooda ainuke ülesanne siin on olla abrasiivne nahakoorija. Osad kasutavad suhkrut, teised kohvipaksu, mõni paneb meresoola - igaühele oma.
