I too have discovered the benefits of using oils as a cleansing agent for the skin. I spend a good 5 minutes massaging hemp oil into my skin, and after a while I feel grainy bits on my face which I assume is dead skin being gently sloughed off by the oil dissolving oils and dirt beneath the skin. I've only been on this regime about 6 weeks, but its leaving my skin in better condition than it's been in years
