Protect with a mixture of oils I mix up myself. I've been doing this for a little over a year 54 and my face looks better now than at any time in my life since I was 12. I seldom wear makeup though. If you do, you'll need a remover of course. Oil is not a moisturizer. I no longer need one, but when I did, I found that a mix of aloe and honey with a pinch of magnesium salts worked wonders. For occasional deep pore cleansing, I use an oatmeal mask with green tea and honey. Super cheap and way way better results than expensive commercial concoctions. The silicons (such as dimethicone) in those things were especially damaging to my skin after prolonged use. They make it *look* moisturized, but it's just superficial. Over time, they rob the skin of moisture. I did a systematic experiment on my own face for about a year and came up with this: Cleanse with water only (very warm, using a clean wash cloth).

BUT Sulfates alone are stripping so avoid em. Sulfates are stripping is what I meant to say, I re read that and it looked like I was saying gels without sulfates are stripping.

As an esthetician I will tell you that even tho you are using oils to cleanse it it still important that you remain using some form of moisture even if its a light hydra gel or a spf with a cream base.. When you don't put some moisture back in your skin your skin is most likely to over compensate for lost moisture, hense the shiny zones in the t zone or start breaking out. If non of those your skin will result in looking dehydrated which can make the skin look dry or even aged when its really not. And not everyone should be using a cream, its just important if you are a norm to oily or just plain oily try to find a gel cleanser without sulfates (which are stripping). You should never feel super dry or tight after cleansing but clean and you should no matter how good your cleanser is where some kind of hydration on top. :) Nora.
