Cleansing Cream

Skincare Hack: Help! I have no makeup remover, what can I use?

July 27, 2016 Paris B 20 Comments

Ever had an emergency when you need to remove your makeup, but don’t have a makeup remover on hand? I’m usually quite well organised when it comes to my skincare, so I don’t usually have this problem. When I’m travelling, I usually have a small bottle of cleansing water / micellar water on hand, and I’m proud of myself for being so organized.

But I recently found myself in this exact predicament. Pride comes before a fall, as they say!

use moisturiser to remove makeup

Lest you think there’s a juicy story behind it, there isn’t LOL! 😀 It was on my most recent flight home, when I had boarded the plane and was about to cleanse my face. I had on some brow pencil and a light layer of BB Cushion and concealer… but I realised that my on-board toiletries pouch had no cleanser! No makeup remover, no cleansing water, no cleanser.

What was a girl to do? Well, improvise of course! 😉

Cleansing and Calming My Skin With Cleansing Cream/Milk – A recent discovery

February 28, 2013 Paris B 64 Comments

I seem to be on a bit of a skincare revamp in recent times. My skin decided to throw a major hissy fit in January where  everything I used to do and use (I didn’t change any part of my regular skincare routine) no longer worked and I was breaking out like I was a teen again, yet experiencing serious dry skin. I knew I had to do something. I told you earlier about my toner + cotton pad rediscovery that helped me. Now, here’s something else I changed. I haven’t been using cleansing oils for over a month.

Not using cleansing oils to remove my makeup and as part of a double cleansing routine is something really big for me. I’m such a cleansing oil evangelist and I’ve used so many. It has been such a part of my skincare routine for so many years that it was almost impossible for me to just abandon it. But I did. Instead, I turned to using cream/milk cleansers.

As luck would have it, I didn’t own any, except 2. The last time I used a cream cleanser, it was the Neutrogena one. Worked a treat but I didn’t replenish because… you guessed it; I went back to my oil cleansers. However, after rooting around, I discovered 2 – Swissline Water Shock Comforting Emulsion Cleanser and Yves Rocher Hydra Vegetal Hydrating Cleansing Milk.

I have been using them both this past month and I have to say that its different. My skin actually stopped feeling so dry and tight and it really seemed to help my skin feel more comfortable. Naturally, its also made me curious about trying other cream or milk cleansers 😀 Do you use any? Interestingly enough, both the cream/milk cleansers I’ve been using come in 2 different price categories 🙂

Review: Skin Care: Kanebo Impress Cleansing Cream

January 21, 2008 Paris B 2 Comments

The Kanebo Impress Cleansing Cream is the first step of cleansing. It operates like a cleansing oil in that its primary purpose is to clean the skin of makeup and impurities. Like a cleansing oil, you use it with dry hands and a dry face.

The texture of the cleansing cream is that of an emollient cream and it spreads very easily. You then massage the skin gently to remove your makeup and sunscreen and you will find the cream turning into an oil consistency in a relatively short time. This is rather unlike the Kanebo Cleansing Gel which has a thicker consistency and takes longer to soften.

I liked the Impress cleansing cream because it is easy to tote around. Anyone who has had to tote cleansing oils around when you travel will know how inconvenient it can get because of the danger of spillage.

Secondly, I loved how my skin felt after using the cleansing cream. It felt soft and smooth and was not drying at all. In fact, my skin even felt slightly moisturised. Once rinsed off, I could immediately feel that my skin was clean and clear and just waiting to receive the benefits of the lotion and emulsion!

It is pricey though at RM188 for 125g of product. However, due to its texture you only use quite little compared to other forms of cleansing oils. You can read about the Kanebo Impress Cleansing Cream on the Kanebo Impress website (English). Kanebo Impress can be purchased at Kanebo International Salons and Kanebo cosmetic counters at Isetan only for now in Malaysia.

Pros: Skin feels clean and clear, Not drying, easy to carry around

Cons: Expensive

[rating:4.5/5]
