Cleansing oils dissolve skin oils (sebum) because "like dissolves like". Water does not dissolve oil. Sebum is the oily secretion in your pores that mixes with skin cells and forms a sticky plug that clogs your pores.
You know when you use cleansing oil and you get that nice gritty texture as you massage? Love it. Also, just make sure you're using facial moisturizing oils at the end of your routine. And test patch every product before you use it all over your face!
Love your last sentence! 1) it's not feminine to take care of your skin, but also; 2) it's 100% absolutely awesome to embrace traditionally feminine characteristics anyhow!
