2 Cleansers That Will Get The Job Done
I've been committed to my Clarisonic for a couple of years now, but using a sonic cleansing brush can really limit the types of cleansers that I can use. Since I recently finished my usual Kate Somerville cleanser (check out a review here), I decided to try a few smaller sizes of some new cleansers.
Boscia Detoxifying Black Cleanser. This is described as "A warming gel cleanser that deeply cleans and detoxifies the complexion." When they say "warming" they seriously mean it! I got this at Sephora as one of their 100 point perks and I'm pretty happy with it. I don't have much experience with the brand, so I was intrigued about the cleanser. There's a distinct warming feeling when you first apply it to your face, but it fades after a few seconds. The cleanser doesn't really foam, so it's not as drying as some deep cleansers can be. However, due to the warming properties, I wouldn't use this anywhere near my eyes, so you'd need to use something separate to remove mascara and/or eye makeup. This cleanser is very effective, and I didn't experience any breakouts or reactions. Note that my skin isn't particularly sensitive, so if you have very sensitive skin, I'd still be cautious just because I imagine the warming aspect could irritate some skin. All in all, if you find other deep cleansers too drying, get a sample of this next time you're in Sephora. It might be perfect for you.
Eve Lom Morning Time Cleanser. Now this is a really great cleanser. It's very similar to the cult classic cleansing balm, but it comes in a tube instead of a jar. Both versions have the four signature oils - Egyptian chamomile oil, eucalyptus oil, clove oil and hops oil - but the Morning Time Cleanser is a bit more gentle. If the cleaning balm was too active for you, this might do the trick. I love that it's just as creamy and effective as the balm, but it's much more hygienic since it's in a tube rather than a jar. I typically apply this to my dry skin and let it sit for a few minutes while I brush my teeth. Then I massage it into my skin then rinse off with warm water. This is a very good cleanser, and it does not dry my skin at all. I strongly recommend this one and think it would be perfect for all skin types.
