YOUR SAY: Do you use a different cleanser in morning and night? Do you have to?

May 18, 2020 Paris B 4 Comments

One of the more interesting questions I get about skincare routines is whether you need to use different products for day and night.

It most certainly does look that way, when you read most people’s skincare routines. Day and night time routines often differ, and their choice of products too.

I discussed this a little while ago, if you’d like to read it 😉

But what about cleansers? Couldn’t we just use the same one both in the morning and night? After all, they serve the same function don’t they? Or perhaps, we should use different ones that have different textures?

What do you do? Do you have just one cleanser for day and night or do you use different ones? 😀

The Elemis Pro-Collagen Rose Cleansing Balm is well deserving of a permanent place in my cleansing balm Hall of Fame

I’m going to spoil this review for everyone and say this : I don’t know if I can use another cleansing balm after this Elemis Pro-Collagen Rose Cleansing Balm, simply because I love it so much!

I have enjoyed using it so much, I’m toying with the idea of repurchasing. This, despite knowing that I have other cleansing balms or creams in my stash waiting to be used up. I don’t even want to consider using another, and just want to savour every last bit of this balm.

It is that good, and that addictive! 😀

What’s so bad about makeup cleansing wipes? Why shouldn’t I use them if they’re so convenient?

“I use cleansing wipes to remove my makeup”

Tell this to most skincare enthusiasts, and what you’d be greeted with is an exaggerated gasp of breath, and wide-eyed horror.

“No, you don’t!” They’d exclaim in disbelief.

What started out as a convenient skincare product is now one of the most villified beauty products in the market. Every beauty and skincare guru worth their salt is condemning it, left, right and center. Every YouTube personality who is caught using one, is shunned and talked about in hushed tones of disgust.

But why and how did this happen? Why are makeup cleansing wipes so bad for our skin, and are they? Should we not use them at all?

Exfoliate and reveal your skin radiance with the luxurious Chanel Sublimage Les Grains de Vanille scrub

I had my heart set on not trying the Chanel Sublimage Les Grains de Vanille when it was released about 2 months ago. I am not a big fan of using physical scrubs or exfoliators as I find them a little too harsh for my skin.

But I confess that curiousity got the better of me.

I had to know if I was going to be slathering caviar on my skin, or if I was taking sandpaper to it. Would I love how my skin feels, or am I going to shake my head in despair at a poorly made choice?

I had to know how a jar of lovely black jammy goodness would fare on my skin.

I just had to know! 😛
