Whenever I come across a skin care product that I love, I want to share it with you guys!
Now some of you may be aware of the year long search for a cleanser I had been on. The reason I was on such a hunt for a cleanser was because it seemed as though absolutely every cleanser was making me break out. One of the reasons may have been that I was on an all "natural" kick and apparently natural makes me break out, especially essential oils.
The criteria for my cleansers go like this:
- NO Fragrance (fragrance is really bad for your skin)
- NO Parabens
- Not too many strange chemical ingredients
Well I would like to introduce you to TWO fabulous, and very different, cleansers that I have found.
The first cleanser I found is Aquanil.
This has become my primary cleanser and I am now working on my 2nd bottle.
According to the bottle, Aquanil "provides gentle, complete cleansing of sensitive skin"
Aquanil is specially formulated to be free of oils and irritating soaps. It has the same consistency as Cetephil or CeraVe but without the long ingredients list and it is fragrance and paraben free! Aquanil was created for people with sensitive skin and I have not had a bad reaction to this cleanser, it is very gentle and does not break me out. The one negative is you will need a separate eye makeup remover to remove heavier eye makeup. I bought an 8 ounce bottle at Dermstore.com for about $10.
The next cleanser I found is
FIX Malibu Wish Wash Exfoliating Powder Wash
I had received a very generous sample of this in one of my Birchbox deliveries.
Now this is an interesting little find as it is a powder that you activate with water. I had read that this was created by founder Rebecca Giles, who was tired of her favorite travel necessities being barred from planes, so she created this TSA friendly powder to make her life easier!
A little goes a long way with this so you want to place a small amount of powder in the palm of your hand and add a few drops of water to activate, massage into your skin and voila'! Clean skin! Wish Wash contains salicylic acid to gently exfoliate your skin and I know it says to avoid the eye area but I found this took off all of my eye makeup without any irritation! This is probably best used in the summer when you are a little more oily-I feel this has the potential to be drying due to the salicylic acid. This cleanser is a bit more pricey at $40 for a little over 1 ounce but if you're feeling flush, it's worth a try!
So those are my reviews for today, I hope I helped anyone looking for a cleanser for their sensitive skin. I will include the links below so if you want to try them out for yourself you can.
I will be announcing a very exciting, celebrating my birthday, giveaway in a few days so stay tuned!
