I've been doing OCM, and it's been working well so far for my acne (i use a drop of tea tree and copious amounts of olive oil) but afterwards it leaves my skin a little dry. Normally I just pat on olive oil on the dry spots, but I'm worried this extra oil will cause breakouts. Is there a more moisturizing carrier oil I can use ( Read more... )

I'll try almond. I've heard coconut is comogenic, so I'm a little leery of it.

I am not sure if there is anything even more moisturizing than EVOO. Maybe macadamia oil? But I think EVOO ist just fine. IF there are any breakouts, you may need something LESS moisturizing. In that case, many people seem to love jojoba oil.

I haven't had any breakouts since going on OCM, the tea-tree seems to be taking care of that. My issue is that my skin feels dry and is flaking. I need something more moisturizing, not less (I suspect my acne is hormonally-driven anyway, as my skin has never been particularly oily)

Where do you get jojoba? I don't think I've seen it at my supermarket.

tea tree oil is a drying oil, so just leave it out

Then what do I use for my acne?

I might try alternating days. I only do OCM once a day. (I also picked up some glycerine and almond oil that I found for really cheap, I'm gonna try that.)

Is there an essential oil that has an antiseptic effect like tea tree but isn't as drying? I can get my hands on eucalyptus, which I believe has similar properties.
