Your skincare routine begins when you cleanse: 8 Cleansers I love that I buy over and over and why a good cleanser is important

In the past, when I first started having some interest in skincare, I came across a quote by someone that said “Spend on what you leave on and save on what you wash off” It was something of that ilk.

Essentially, the idea was that when we were balancing our budget for skincare, we should spend more on products like serums and creams, to get the best possible quality since we were leaving it on our skin; and we could save on a product like cleansers, because we’d just be washing them off.

I thought it made sense, so it was something I practised for a while. I’d buy cleansers from the pharmacy, and I’d not consider spending too much money on them. Something that was foamy and cleaned my skin was sufficient, never mind what special ingredients might be in it, because I was going to wash it off anyway.

Much later, I realised that I was wrong about this.

This Mad Hippie Cream Cleanser is one of the better cream cleansers I’ve ever used

I love using cream cleanser, which are great for most types of skin except for the very oily or blemish-prone. I only wish I’d not been so reluctant to try them earlier.

I generally use a gentle cream cleanser in my morning cleanse, because I don’t need any serious cleansing. While I understand there are people who choose to not use a cleanser in the morning at all, I still do, as I use fairly heavy skincare products in my nighttime routine, and I want to clean it off properly before doing my daytime routine. Besides, skin just feels fresher after a good cleanse right? 😛

Mad Hippie is a brand I’ve used for a while, and the Cream Cleanser is actually my 2nd bottle. I run through cleansers fairly quickly, and I regularly cycle back to my favourites. This is one of them.

Got dry skin? Cleanse without drying your skin with the Natura Chronos Cleansing Cream

Oh hello! It’s *ahem* been a while I know. Not sure if anyone’s noticed the silence around here, but it’s one of those things that happen from time to time.

I toyed with the idea of taking a break till the new year, before starting afresh, but decided that there really is no better time than the present, if you want to do something. Newton’s First Law dictates that a body at rest will remain at rest, and I feared that might be what’ll happen. I might just forget my login altogether! LOL!

Regardless of my reasons and foibles, I decided to pop back in, and restart with something a little easy – a cleanser.

I’ve been working through my skincare cupboard for a while now, and am happy to report that there is progress (albeit slowly) and one little gem I discovered was the Natura Chronos Cleansing Cream. It is targeted at those with normal to dry skin, which suits me to a T! 🙂

Be kind to your wallet and to your skin when you indulge in the Sukin Rosehip Nourishing Cream Cleanser

Ever since I discovered how much better a cream cleanser was for my skin, as opposed to a gel or foaming type cleanser, I’ve always been on the lookout for new (and affordable!) cream cleanser options.

I’d tried the normal Sukin Cream Cleanser in the past, and throughly enjoyed using it. However, when I saw that there was a version with a pink label, I was curious.

I picked up the Sukin Rosehip Nourishing Cream Cleanser a little while ago, finished it recently, then remembered I had to share how much I enjoyed using it! 😀
