My Cleanser Collection

So first up is the Oskia Renaissance Cleasning Gel, I'll try to keep this one short and sweet because we all know I love this. It's a light gel that, when applies to a dry face, feels almost oil-like in texture and can be used on even the most sensitive of skins. Plus the smell, need I say more?

The Athony Glycolic Facial Cleanser has been reviewed on this blog before (Here) and is a good second or morning cleanse. I personally use it in the morning when I want a quick skincare routine as it negates the need for an acid tone step.

Emma Hardie's Amazing Face Moringa Cleansing Balm is one that everyone must have heard of my now, the citrus-smelling balm was my gateway into "proper" skincare. Before I found this I was washing with a foaming cleanser and then slapping on a BB Cream and hoping for the best. This is a lovely cleanser that's thick and not moisture-zapping at all, can be used as a second cleanse or to remove make-up but I find it a little heavy for morning-use.

The Omorazicza Cleasning Foam may be a controversial one in my collection with it being a foaming cleanser, but I generally save this for when I'm staying out overnight. As much as I love my oil and balm cleansers, wash cloths get complicated for overnight stays and so I just throw this in my overnight bag and it does the trick. It has a lovely light scent and isn't too stripping on my skin.

I like the Garnier Micellar Water for rushed mornings. It's my "I need to cleanse but I don't really have time to' cleanser. A quick sweep of this and then a good moisturiser or face oil does the trick in a pinch. It's also nice as a first cleanse in the evening to remove make-up, although I've found something I like better for make-up removal recently in the:

Superfacialist by Una Brennan Cleansing Oil, This is my go to make-up removal step most nights and is good for all types of cleansing, first cleanse, second cleanse, morning cleanse? No problem. It's light and refreshing but has the power to really shift all the gunk and grime from the day, and it's so affordable that I can't see myself being without it.

Another foaming cleanser that I haven't given up on is the First Aid Beauty Foaming Cleanser. Like the Omoravicza it's light and not stripping like most foaming cleansers and is good for a morning cleanse or for travel. I think sometimes I just need a foaming cleanser, old habits die hard, right?

The Clarins Face Cleanser is one of my favourites. Although yo can get the same results with much cheaper cleansing milks this one just tops them all. I think it's the smell that sells it to me but the texture is so light and fluid that while the results may be the same as the more affordable alternatives, the experience of using this cleanser is just lovely.

I have a small sample size of the Omoravicza Thermal Cleansing Balm in my collection. This is one that I thought I'd love but I just can't stand the smell. The full size of this would be the most expensive cleanser in my collection and I much prefer using others and so I won't go back to it once I've finished the mini.

Soap & Glory Peaches and Clean is another affordable cleansing option. This is a light glycolic milk cleanser. It's kind of like the Clarins and the Anthony had a baby. Personally I find this to be a very strong glycolic cleanser and while I always leave glycolic cleansers to sit for a few minutes, I find myself rinsing this off after maybe 30 seconds as the tingle really kicks in quickly with this.

I recieved the Cailyn Dizzolv'It Make Up Melt Cleansing Balm in a LoveMeBeauty Box and have enjoyed experimenting with it. It's a greasy balm that I think works best (as suggested) for makeup removal and I wouldn't use it for anything else because of this. The full size is around the £30 mark and for the money I think the Una Brennan is more versatile, but it's still a nice pick.
