5 Cleansing Oils That Take Off Every Bit Of Makeup

Jyotika Udeshi

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.

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.

Free of fragrances and soap, this nourishing oil is perfect for those with sensitive, dry or eczema-prone skin.

It’s even safe to use on infants and children.

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!

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.
