How many times have you washed your face, only to realise that you still have makeup on? If this happens to you often, then it’s time for you to invest in a cleansing oil. These oil-based formulas provide a deep cleanse, without stripping the skin’s natural moisture as many traditional cleansers do. Here are 5 amazing ones that you can try out.
1. Bobbi Brown Soothing Cleansing Oil
Infused with a blend of botanical oils, this gentle cleanser removes all kinds of residue from your face, including eye makeup! The presence of goji berry extract, kukui nut and white water lily ensure that your face feels soft, calm and plump at the end of every wash.
2. Boscia MakeUp-BreakUp Cool Cleansing Oil
If you prefer full coverage makeup and waterproof mascaras, this product is the one to get your hands on. The mix of green tea, rosehip, avocado and olive fruit oil work together to dissolve the grime and build-up on your face so that your skin feels fresh.
3. Avène XeraCalm A.D Lipid-Replenishing Cleansing Oil
Free of fragrances and soap, this nourishing oil is perfect for those with sensitive, dry or eczema-prone skin. The formula is chockfull of lipids and thermal spring water, which help soothe inflammation and reduce the urge to itch, whilst moisturising any dry patches. It’s even safe to use on infants and children.
4. Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Botanical Cleansing Oil
With fantastic ingredients such as squalane and evening primrose oil, this decadent formula is a true winner. Apart from purifying the skin, it works to improve the skin’s elasticity and fortifies its moisture barrier. Plus, the scent of lavender essential oil will help relax your mind and prep you for a good night’s sleep!
5. Shu Uemura POREfinist² Sakura Refreshing Cleansing Oil
Although it sounds insane, this cleanser is actually great for those with acne-prone or oily skin. The lightweight formula contains cinnamon bark and cherry extracts, which help regulate sebum production and keep the skin balanced.
Whether you use these cleansing oils by themselves or incorporate them into a double cleansing routine, you can be sure that your skin will feel and look better than before. Do let me know if you happen to try any of these out – I would love to hear your thoughts!
