Aromatherapists are using Kalahari melon seed botanical oil for cleansing the face.  Here is how to use it:

First, apply a few drops of the oil to your hand.  Massage the oil into the skin of  your face, using circular strokes or upward strokes.

Afterward, wipe it down with a warm wet cloth such as flannel.  It can often absorb so quickly that you may not even need this step!

Kalahari oil also works wonders as a hair conditioner.  Apply 10 drops into your shampoo or conditioner and mix it in well before use.  Alternatively, you can apply just a few drops of undiluted oil to your hair and massage it in after shampooing.  This can be a deep oil treatment!  Leave it in until the next time you shampoo.

It is a fine carrier, and wonderful ingredient for all of your lotions, serums, cremes, and balms.
