Savanna Goodness<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nYou may notice how the cleansers I like aren’t from many conventional brands (except perhaps Elemis and Sukin). It’s just how I roll LOL! But seriously, I struggle to find a good, non-stripping cleanser in most popular skincare brands. I shy away from any foaming or gel cleansers as they are just too drying, and I don’t like the formulation of many cleansers in the market. I do prefer cleansers from natural or organic skincare brands as they usually feel more nourishing on my skin, and cleanse well without stripping away all the oils, leaving my face feeling like a tight mask after I wash it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is the biggest test for me. If my skin feels tight after I wash it, I bin the cleanser. No second chances because it means my skin is too dried out, and and continuing to use it means I’m going to stripping it day after day, and damaging it further. This old skin can’t handle too much abuse anymore LOL \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It isn’t even about using only expensive facial cleansers. Sukin is as affordable as it gets, and it’s very well formulated, and gentle on skin. If a gel cleanser is what you prefer, Sukin makes one too that is also gentle and does not strip the skin. I won’t even recommend a cleanser from a luxury brand, because I don’t think they stand up to scrutiny. Many still subscribe to the notion that a cleanser must foam up, and that clean skin must feel squeaky clean to the touch. It is for this reason that I find that natural brands tend to understand better that you can clean without stripping your skin of all its oils, leaving it taut and dry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you have any favourite cleansers?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n I started out with foaming and gel cleansers like everyone else, and am now most comfortable using a cream cleanser, or a very gentle, well-formulated gel cleanser in my evening second cleanse. Anything less falls far short of my ideals and will end up in the bin \ud83d\ude1b <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/p>\n
