Review: Kose Softymo White Cleansing Oil

Hi..!!

Another review that I'm gonna make tonight and then I'm gonna continue watching Doctor Who! He he he he... I'm staring a Doctor Who and Sherlock Marathon this month and gonna indulge myself in a fandom madness #Evil Laugh mwahahaha.... Okay stop it girl.. Continue to the designated review now... I've been

doing the double cleansing method for almost two years now and I can honestly say although I still have the occasional acne problem it's far better than the previous year though.. I still have acne popping here and there but hey! One acne popping is more bearable than 10 acne popping!! I've also been using Kose Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil for some time and on my forth repurchase I decided that I want to try another type of Kose Softymo Cleaning Oil and I opted for the "White" kind. I have to admit the "White" on the name is what attracts me because I kinda hope that it could help lighten my acne marks although deep down I'm quite skeptical.

How I Cleanse My Face with OCM (Oil Cleansing Method) and My Current Oil Blend

Taken from oilyskinblog.com

I've been into cleansing my face with OCM (Oil Cleansing Method) lately and some of my friends ask me on how I do this thing. There are actually a lot of blog and website that discuss about this and my method is slightly different from them.

What I'm preparing:

- My oil blend

- Cleansing wipes

You can see that I'm not using washcloth or even hot water to steam my face. I opt not to do this since I live in a tropical country and it is hot and humid pretty much 24/7. So I think I'm gonna step the steaming part. I don't use washcloth either since it's a bother to wash those oil from the washcloth, I prefer to use cleansing wipes to get rid of the oil on my face and so far this version of OCM works really well for me and do not break me out. What also makes me happy is that my skin do not purge either.

My steps are;

1. I put a decent amount of my oil blend at my palm.
2. Dab the oil on several parts of my face such as forehead, temple, nose, cheek, chin, and also my neck. These oil is also pretty gentle on my eye area and cleanse stubborn eyeliner and mascara pretty well too!!
3. I usually start cleansing my eye area first from the make-up, eyeliner, and mascara with the oil.
4. After that I started to massage my face gently in a circular motion and focus on my problem area. For me, my problem area is my T-Zone. Oh.. and I also use this oil blend to clean my lips from lipstick
5. I massage my face and neck for a several minutes usually around 3-5 minutes. If my face feels tight it means that I've been massaging my face for too long.
6. After massaging I wipe my face with cleansing wipes starting from the eye area first to get rid of those make-up and make sure that I don't have eyeliner or mascara residue on my eye and continue to cleanse my other facial and neck area.
7. If I've been wearing full make-up or have been going out all day I usually continue to do more cleansing with cleansing cream and facial wash. But sometimes I skip this step if I'm a bit lazy he he he....
8. After I cleanse my face I ended it with my usual skin care routine such as serum, emulsion, night cream, and sleeping pack.

Rice Bran Oil Benefits:

Lowers Cholesterol

Rice bran oil contains gamma oryzanol, a group of ferulate esters of triterpene alcohols and phytosterols that have been linked to many health benefits. Gamma oryzanol is effective in reducing plasma cholesterol and reducing cholesterol absorption, decreasing early atherosclerosis. In addition, gamma oryzanol inhibits platelet aggregation that could lead to blood clots. Rice bran oil contains tocotrienol (a form of Vitamin E) which has been found to inhibit the activity of HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme that synthesizes cholesterol, a major factor in heart disease. Some study even shows that the tocotrienol in rice bran oil reduced cholesterol in rats up to 42 percent while lowering LDL cholesterol up to 62 percent.

Anti-Cancer Effects

Rice bran oil contains significant levels of both gamma and delta tocotrienols (approximately 500 ppm), forms of Vitamin E, that have been found to be able to accumulate in cancer cells and kill the tumors. In a study conducted at Kyushu University in Japan, researchers looked at the effects of tocotrienols on mouse cancer cells. There was a significant delay in growth in the cancer cells. "Our results suggested that accumulation is critical for the anti-tumor activity of tocotrienols," said Japanese lead researcher, Yuhei Hiura, reporting in "The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry."

For a long time, there has been a tradition in Japan that women rub rice bran in or put rice bran oil on their face to keep their skin smooth. It was a tradition and people don’t know the real reason why rice bran or rice bran oil is effective in keeping skin smooth but it is thought that it relates to the functions of minor components of rice bran oil. These women, having smooth and shiny skin, are called “Nuka-Bijin” “Bran Beauty” in English.

Rice bran oil is obtained from the husk of paddy and consists of embryo (germ) and endosperm of Oryza sativa family Graminae. You can obtain this oil as a byproduct in rice mill during polishing of rice after dehusking. Rice bran oil is known for its high smoke point of 490 degrees F (254 degrees C), making it suitable for healthy cooking methods, such as the stir frying and deep frying made popular by Asian countries. Because of its healthy fat composition being 47 percent monounsaturated, 33 percent polyunsaturated and 20 percent saturated, rice bran oil provides many health benefits. That makes it the oil of choice for improving serum cholesterol levels and preventing cardiovascular disease.It is considered by some to be the “worlds healthiest edible oil” containing many vitamins, antioxidants and nutrients.  It is also trans fat free. Studies have shown it can help lower cholesterol, enhance the immune system and fight free radicals.
