Review: Soap & Glory Peaches & Clean 4 in 1 Cleansing Milk



YouTube, Twitter & Instagram username: tinaHL82

Product mentioned:

Soap & Glory Peaches & Clean 4 in 1 Cleansing Milk:
http://www.boots.com/en/Soap-Glory%C2%99-Peaches-And-Clean%C2%99-Deep-Cleansing-Milk-200ml_1214926/

Product information: Our special clogged T-zone formula Includes peach extract (with skin smoothing fruit acids), quillaja bark (a gentle natural ‘soap’), jojoba oil (an emollient skin softener), Detoxyboost™ technology (to help purify and deep clean) and Poreshrink R2™ (for a clearer, fresher, brighter complexion). In our opinion it’s the best cleansing milk on the market!

Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Isohexadecane, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Cyclohexasiloxane, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Sodium Polyacrylate, Propylene Glycol, Caprylyl Glycol, Sodium Benzoate, Dipropylene Glycol, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Quillaja Saponaria Bark Extract, Ethylhexylglycerin, Parfum (Fragrance), Tetrasodium EDTA, Prunus Persica (Peach) Fruit Extract, Gynostemma Pentaphyllum Leaf Extract, Sorbitol, Glucosamine HCl, Urea, Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract, Algae Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Salvia Hispanica Seed Oil, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil, Citric Acid, Linalool, Thymus Vulgaris (Thyme) Oil, Sodium Hydroxide

Review: This is a really good gentle cleanser and I was amazed at how well it worked.  Though I wouldn't use it alone to remove all makeup, it helped remove surface makeup before I deep cleansed with another cleanser (I always recommend double cleansing in the evenings!).  Even so, after using this cleansing milk for a while, I noticed my skin looked brighter & clearer with fewer blackheads.  This cleanser also left my skin feeling moisturised & not dry or taut after use and definitely recommend this to those with sensitive skin.  It's also good to know that a little goes a long way so the bottle will last ages.  There is an 'artificial' peach smell, but it's not overbearing & I actually quite like it, though it's not for everyone.  

Overall, it's a cleanser I can see myself repurchasing.  I love how it left my skin clean & clear without stripping it of moisture, and is a great cleanser for keeping blackheads away!

Review: Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser Oily/Combo skin



YouTube, Twitter & Instagram Username: tinaHL82

Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser For Oily to Combination Skin:

Where to buy:
http://www.clarins.co.uk/Gentle-Foaming-Cleanser-with-Tamarind-%22Combination/Oily-Skin%22/C010104012,en_GB,pd.html?start=13

"A refreshing, skin de-stressing cleansing foam. Gentle Tamarind Fruit Acids free pores of trapped make-up, excess oil, pollutants and dull-making dead cells for a refined, matte complexion. Silky lather rinses easily with cool water. Protects skin from the drying effects of hard water."

I personally like this cleanser.  It's definately a great cleanser for oily skin and good cleanser for those with combination skin (which I have).  It does leave your skin feeling a bit dry after using so always moisturise as soon as possible after using, but it left my skin looking so clean and clear after that I am willing to ignore the dryness!  It hasn't broken me out at all and dispite the feeling of dryness after using, it hasn't stripped my skin of its moisture or left me with any dry areas - BUT, I do moisturise well after use.

The 125ml tube lasted over 2 months, you literally need the smallest amount to lather up your whole face, so for the price of £18.00, it is relatively inexpensive.  The small micro-beads were not harsh on the skin, the beads themselves were soft and not hard like some exfoliating cleanser, which means it makes a good everyday cleanser.  I personally only used it in the evening as I don't think it's necessary to use such a cleanser in the mornings.  It is a cleanser that I will probably re-purchase, and will definitely make a good cleanser for those with oily skin, especially in the summer.

Ingredients: 
Gypsophila extract: helps create a fine, lightweight cleansing foam.
Cottonseed : softens. 
Tamarind : refines, keeps pores clean.
Purifying Micro-Pearls : purify.
Bio-Ecolia, extracted from natural sugars, helps to preserve the skin's natural moisture balance.

Sensitive Skin 3: Balance Me Pure Skin Face Wash



Twitter & Instagram: tinaHL82
YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/tinaHL82

Description:


Cleanse your face of make-up and daily grime with our gentle yet effective, sulphate and petroleum free face wash to achieve a balanced, clean complexion without stripping away your skin’s natural moisture levels. We’ve blended soothing, balancing, deliciously fragrant grapefruit, petitgrain and frankincense essential oils with spruce knot extract to help improve and smooth the appearance of congested or problem complexions. Anti-oxidant rich moringa and rice bran oils help to brighten and polish the skin to leave it smooth and gently cleansed.
Smooth over face and neck, gently massaging wash in circular movements to dissolve make-up and grime. Close eyes and wipe carefully over lids and eye lashes, avoiding direct contact with eyes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry with a clean towel. Apply our balancing face moisturiser or radiance face oil after to give a soft, clean and glowing complexion.

My View on this Face Wash:  So really to summarise what I've said in this video, this is a really gentle cleanser that doesn't strip the skin or leave it dry after use.  This is one of the few cleansers I've used that leaves my skin quite moisturised!  I generally used this as a gentle morning cleanser as I've found that it's not very effective at removing makeup and such.  I've found it great in the mornings as it doesn't leave my skin looking red or required me to extra moisturise to get a good base before makeup.  The use of natural ingredients and essential oils also reassured me that I wasn't applying any un-necessary parabens or sulphates on my skin.  However, like I've mentioned in the video, this has a very strong scent.  I personally am not adverse to scents and perfumes in my skincare (though prefer not to have any), but even I found the scent of this cleanser overwhelming.    I understand that the scents are from the essential oils, but eventually resorting to holding my breath every morning to cleanse my face became very tiresome and not how I wanted to start my mornings!  I did persevere until I finished all of this cleanser, however, unless I have a major breakout that required me to take care of my skin for several months, I am reluctant to repurchase this.

Ingredients:
Aqua, Decyl glucoside, Lauryl glucoside, Oryza sativa (rice) bran oil, Glycerin, Xanthan gum, Modified potato starch, Moringa oliefera (moringa) oil, Citric acid, Abies picea (spruce knot) extract, Aloe barbadensis (aloe vera) leaf extract***, Citrus paradisi (grapefruit)*, Boswellia carteri (frankincense)*, Citrus aurantium amara (petitgrain)*, Cymbopogon martini (palma rosa)*, Cananga odorata (ylang ylang)*, Anthemis nobilis (Roman chamomile)*, Benzyl alcohol, potassium sorbate, Dehydroacetic acid, Limonene**, Linalool**, Geraniol** *natural pure essential oil **naturally occurring in essential oils ***certified organic ingredient

I really recommend this for people with all skin type but especially for those with sensitive skin, as it leaves the skin feeling moisturised after use with no feeling of dryness and tightness.  This gently cleanses the face of makeup and dirt well, however, as stated in the video, you will definately need to remove any heavy makeup and waterproof makeup before hand.  I cannot praise this cleanser enough, this small bottle lasted about 3 weeks and I have invested in the largest bottle there is!
