The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter 20ml Travel Size

Product Information

Why It's Worth It: Contrary to popular belief, those with sensitive skin — especially those who don't tolerate chemical exfoliants as well — can indulge in daily use of skin-care acids. Spiked with gluconolactone, a common type of polyhydroxy acid (or PHA) that exfoliates while not penetrating as deeply as their AHA and BHA cousins, Hanskin's Pore Cleansing Balm PHA is a good fit for all skin types. Even people who experience conditions like eczema or atopic rosacea are good fits since PHAs exfoliate, draw in moisture, and offer comparatively less irritation and photosensitivity. Let's be real, there are many reasons as to why cleansing balms are superior to old-school makeup remover wipes and their micellar water counterparts. For starters, they offer a more effective way to pre-cleanse and remove makeup, excess oil, dirt or built-up grime without leaving your skin parched. “Many balms also contain nourishing ingredients such as vitamin E and essential oils so they don’t strip the skin and leave it feeling tight in the same way that other types of cleansers might,” says Jane Foulston, director of award-winning skincare brand Emma Hardie. After I pat my face dry I then finish off the cleansing routine with my Micellar Water, eye cream and moisturiser.

Alongside breaking down makeup, this cleanser easily gets rid of any dirt or impurities on your face too. The result is clean, nourished and refreshed skin. As this cleanser has so many skin-loving ingredients, my skin feels wonderfully soft and smooth after using it. It never feels harsh on the skin, so I agree that this would be suitable for sensitive skins too. My skin is combination, so I have oily and dry patches but this It Cosmetics cleanser really helps restore balance to my skin. It also acts like a serum, ensuring your skin is left feeling plump and soft after use. It also removes makeup effortlessly. I always find mascara to be the most stubborn makeup to remove but the Camomile Cleansing Butter makes it hassle-free, while still being kind and gentle to your skin. Thanks to their silky-smooth consistency, cleansing balms also feel incredibly delicate on the skin, making them the perfect choice for both dry and sensitive skin types. And unlike cleansing oils, they doesn't feel too liquid-y either (not until you rub them into your skin, that is). They start off as a balm (hence the name) and emulsify into an oil as you massage them in, at which stage you should see all your stubborn makeup melt away before your eyes. It comes in a medium-sized tin, which is made from aluminium so it’s fully recyclable (or reusable if you’re in need of a handy tin).It smelt absolutely amazing, almost botanical, and smoothed onto my face really easily. It almost felt like a bit of a pamper, with the refreshing scent and soft velvety texture. Some cleansers come with a hefty price tag, and it can be so disappointing when you spend all that money on something that doesn’t work. We’ve done some research for you to help the decision making process a bit easier, here’s our verdict: Liz Earle Cleanse & Glow Transforming Gel Cleanser 150ml Although the butter looks quite solid, it has a very buttery texture that easily melts down once applied. This means it’s not difficult to spread it across your face, which is important if you’re wearing makeup. It has a faint camomile scent, which is soothing, calming and refreshing. I love this because it makes using the cleansing butter that bit more luxurious.

Ethylhexyl palmitate: a mixture of a fatty alcohol and palmitic acid that functions as an emollient (softens and soothes the skin) and texture enhancer Everyone has different skin types, so it’s essential to find a cleanser that suits yours the most. We tried four different cleansers from Boots, Superdrug and LookFantastic to find our holy grail product.

Olea europaea fruit oil (olive oil): contains essential fatty acids dry skin needs, including oleic, palmitic, and linoleic acids. Functions as an emollient and has antioxidant benefits The 200ml bottle has a pump dispenser, making it easy to get the right amount of product each time leading to no waste. Within a week of using the cleanser (alongside other La Roche-Posay products), I noticed a huge difference in my skin. I hope La Roche-Posay never discontinues the cleanser or the other Effacular H products, as they’re the best skincare products I’ve ever used.

This purifying cleanser also helps to stop those hidden nasties from clogging up your pores, and used on the reg will keep skin feeling refreshed and nourished.

If your skin is feeling particularly dry use a nourishing cleansing balm as a simple face mask by leaving it on clean skin for 10-15 minutes and then remove with a warm cloth. Or use it as a lip balm, on cuticles, or on any other dry areas.”
