It’s so funny cause I use oil to moisturise my body and then use oil on my face to cleanse it. Leaned that from reddit years ago :) #oilcleansingmethod
Definitely in the right direction - if shea butter doesn’t make you break out or make you skin oily, then it’s great! It’s non-comedogenic or mildly comedogenic for most people. And you can buy it in bulk (I used Etsy before but I am sure there are better places).
If you want to be super moisturized, use something with hyaluronic acid in it on damp skin, let it absorb, the put a bit of shea butter on it. You are basically returning moisture to your skin with a humectant then sealing it with an occlusive.
I would recommend trying a plant-based oil like rosehip instead of baby oil, which is mineral oil made from petroleum. Might be better for breakouts.

Oil cleansing is the best. The older I get, the more I appreciate it, especially in a dry climate.
Love this suggestion, thanks so much! The current one im using is shea and cocoa butter, is that in the right direction?

Not the point at all, but you said “plant-based” and excluded baby oil and I momentarily had non-petroleum concerns about the origin of said oil…
