BEAUTY RESOLUTIONS: WASH MY FACE
I make this resolution every year - and it all goes out the window by the first Friday of January, when I totter home tipsy and dab (ineffectually) at my face with a wet wipe. But this year, things are GOING TO BE DIFFERENT. My visage will be consistently clean as a shiny new pin - which means double {cleansing}, muslin cloths, {LUNA}-ing consistently and possibly, even {toning} (I know)...
Cleansers are my thing (which is ironic, given I'm so bad at using them)... here is my edited 'edit' of absolute faves.
Because make up removal is often a problem, Bio-Essence's brand new {Jelly Make Up Remover} is THE ONE. As in, if the law changed, and I was suddenly at liberty to wed an inanimate object, I would choose it. Over and above my much-loved collection of Mitfordian literature (which is lucky 'cause I'm pretty sure polygamy would still be frowned upon). Make up (even the waterproof shiz), managed!
I think I might have mentioned this (c. 1,000,000 times - sorry), but Oskia's {Renaissance Cleansing Gel} is da bomb dot com. Refreshing and plumping and magically glow-bestowing, you can read all about why I love it right {here} - should you choose to.
My current morning 'double cleanse' (pats-self-on-back) is all about {Grown Alchemist}. I'm probably getting it all wrong, but my face enjoys a massage with the gorgeous {Hydra-Restore Cream Cleanser}, followed by a quick once-over with their {Gentle Gel Cleanser} and my most favourite face vibrator (ie: my only ever, faithful face vibrator, Foreo's {LUNA}).
If you've never experienced a cleansing balm, then you - dear readers - are in for a treat. Omorovicza's {Thermal Cleansing Balm} is rich, oily and oozy in the most delectable, pore-purifying way. It's the perfect way to take the day off and/or startle your housemates (snicker snicker).
Coffee meets cleanser. Er... YES! Su-Man's {Exfoliating Facial Polish} is the ultimate wake up call - for both skin and senses. A physical scrub (yay!), the grounds work all manner of magic; refining, brightening, stimulating and counteracting puffy (hungover) pillow face, so you look and feel wide awake in a whizz.
