What comes before cleansing? Dermalogica PreCleanse of course!

May 26, 2011 Paris B 30 Comments

I think my love for cleansing oils (and my wide and varied experimentation with brands) is no longer in doubt yes? 😉 Here’s another I’ve been using for a while, and which (to my surprise) I am considering a repurchase! *gasp*

dermalogica precleanse

I have never really used anything from Dermalogica skincare so the PreCleanse is my first. I had no expectations of it at all but let’s cut to the chase. I love this one! 😀

If you are already familiar with cleansing oils, this is a cleansing oil. It is a makeup remover cum facial cleanser and it does the job very well.

Cleansing Oils I have used over the years and some Tips on using Cleansing Oils properly

April 19, 2011 Paris B 81 Comments

When I asked for your opinions on whether one should use cleansing oils even if you don’t use makeup, I had a few readers (Shay, Kay Es etc) ask for my thoughts on the cleansing oils I’ve used. Eeks! Do you know how long I’ve been at it and how many I’ve been through? haha…

But I do like using cleansing oils and I have found some that I like and will merrily tell you to buy (provided you don’t buy them all and leave nothing for me 😛 ) and I have also found some that do not work for me.

cleansing oils I've used before

As for how to use cleansing oil to avoid that oily feel after cleansing, try reading my earlier tip on how to properly use cleansing oils. Proper emulsification will reduce the oily feel, but a lot also depends on the texture of the cleansing oil in question. The oily feeling never goes away for some I’ve tried, even if you emulsify like crazy.

So, from memory, here is a quick run down of the cleansing oils I’ve used. Its long, so make sure you have food and water on hand so you don’t expire 😛

The Aesop Parsley Seed Facial Cleansing Oil has a moral to this fable

March 10, 2011 Paris B 24 Comments

I am such a sucker for cleansing oils. I have a bazillion-million lying around from various brands and I always am tempted by another. Its a sickness I tell you. I hope I’m not alone in this one 😛

Anyway, one day, while I was at an Aesop counter browsing, I was offered a mini-facial to try some of their products. I’m not too familiar with Aesop, so I said yes. This was at the Aesop counter at 1 Utama and if they aren’t too busy, you can try asking to see if they’d do the same for you 🙂 So anyway, one of the items they used on me was the Aesop Parsley Seed Facial Cleansing Oil.

review aesop parsley seed cleansing oil

Cleansing Oil! Ding! Ding! I had to have it 😛 So the next time I saw Aesop having a promo (this was last year at Bangsar Village 2) I picked up a bottle. Its a RM185 bottle of cleansing oil and my wallet cried out in protest at this. Its likely to be the most expensive cleansing oil I’ve purchased to date!

So I took it home, skipping with joy (but carefully because its a heavy glass bottle) and got into the shower to use the cleansing oil as I always do – on dry face with dry hands, as a makeup remover.

Oh boy. Big mistake.

Using Cleansing Oils Effectively

August 8, 2008 Paris B 30 Comments

To remove makeup at the end of a long day, my makeup remover of choice is the cleansing oil. Ever since I was introduced to it, I have never looked back as it leaves my skin feeling clean and soft every time.

I was discussing the use of the cleansing oil with my regular facialist and she gave me some pointers on how to use cleansing oils effectively to remove makeup. These tips coupled with some I discovered through trial and error have helped in making my skin feel cleaner and make more effective use of the cleansing oils as well.Continue Reading
