Despite being a committed beauty adventurer, there is one experience I had resisted till now - slathering my face in runny, greasy oil instead of soap, to get it clean.Then last weekend I ran out of the very last drop of facial cleanser and had no option but to reach for a long-forgotten bottle of Shu Uemura Cleansing Beauty Oil and a few seconds later I could literally feel my skin exhale with the joy of having every single pore getting squeaky clean!! I am now a convert.
Actually, it makes sense - after all, what's better than oil to break down and melt away just about any kind of makeup or grime sitting on your face with as little scrubbing or friction as possible? Its especially great for waterproof makeup, which is extremely resistant to water-based cleansers.
Plus, contrary to belief, washing off a facial oil is the easiest thing in the world as it immediately emulsifies (lathers) on contact with water, and rinses away in micro-seconds without a trace of grease anywhere on your face.
The key to using cleansing oil is to make sure your face and hands are absolutely dry before you get anywhere near the bottle. Then smear some onto your face, and gently massage in a circular motion, finally rinsing off with tepid water. And ta da....magically soft and squeakily clean skin!! Rushing out to buy some? Try:
