I'm still doing OCM. It's going well. I still break out, but it does seem like the pimples don't get as painful as they were before. Of course, its that time of the month, so I expected a few pimples. Nothing more than the ordinary and possibly less.
Some nights I use a mixture of castor oil + sunflower oil, and some nights I use just coconut oil depending on how my skin feels. If I feel dry I use the coconut, and I might even slather a tiny bit on before I do my makeup if my skin feels tight.
I also sometimes get in the shower with the oil on and then towel it off when I get out. I don't find this method takes me any longer than before. Sometimes I even OCM twice a day, just depending on whatever. I wear makeup every day, except maybe on my days off if I don't have anything to do. I wear foundation (tinted sinscreen), powder, and eye makeup (mascara, eyeliner, and eyeshadow).
Of course, now that I want to stick with it I'm having a hard time avoiding the natural store and buying ALL THE OILS! I have a pretty decent size bottle of castor oil, and a large bottle of sunflower oil, and basically a vat of coconut oil. I always go overboard. The only thing that's keeping me right now is the fact that I have zero $$$.
OH! and last time I checked Target carries HUGE bottles of castor oil for like $3-4.
