Why You Need a Cleansing Oil in Your Skincare Routine
If you’re yet to add a cleansing oil to your skincare routine, you’re missing out! Cleansing oils quickly dissolve impurities and the build-up of daily pollutants, whilst removing make-up with ease. Better yet, they do all this without stripping the skin of moisture.
Cleansing oils need to be applied to dry skin, particularly if you’re using one to remove makeup. Once applied, add a little water to emulsify and work the cleansing oil into the skin, and watch as it breaks down any makeup and debris. I love using either a damp Makeup Eraser or Face Halo to remove cleansing oil once I’ve applied it (they work wonders to remove even a full face of makeup in no time) but you can use any face cloth to remove it with. Follow with your favourite cleanser as your second step of a double cleanse for your cleanest, softest skin yet.
Ideal for all skin types, check out some of the best cleansing oils below.
