Cleansing oils, I try many and report back dutifully. As current oil were stocks running low, the
hunt began for new options. Clinique’s
versions caught my eye but The Body Shop’s Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil and
Sumptuous Cleansing Butter called out instead with their reasonable price
point.
The Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil ($16) promises to melt off
impurities and even waterproof makeup. It’s suitable for sensitive skin and
emulsifies upon contact with water. It says to shake before use but I haven’t
been doing that.
Musings of a Muse made me worry, however, this worked quite well for me. The oil has good runniness,
spreads easily and removals my makeup. It doesn’t leave a film on the skin
and after the double cleanse I don’t feel any trace of it but it does have a harder time with waterproof liners. I tested it against the Fancl and Fancl removes waterproof liners with a little more ease.
The Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter ($16) promises melt
away impurities and all types of makeup. Massage onto the skin and rinse off
with warm water or remove with wet muslin cloth.
After testing out a small sample of the Clinique removal
balm, I hesitated to try another balm since it didn’t emulsify and you had to
wipe it off your face. The Body Shop version does emulsify under water and the
milky solution is cleanly and easily rinsed off. My skin was smooth afterwards
and no make up was left. Again, it does need a little more work over really waterproof
liquid liner.
I was also given the Muslin Cleansing Cloth ($4) to use with
the Butter. Though I would have
preferred a more finished looking product (sewn edges), the fabric helps me
wipe away the Butter but isn’t entirely necessary.
Though I still love my Fancl,
these have a fighting chance if not for the waterproof eye product issues. The butter is more finicky
to use with the twist-off cap and the worries of being in a hot shower, so I
prefer the oil. They both have a comfortable scent that’s a lighter version of
chamomile tea and te price point is great considering the frequency of sales at
The Body Shop. They both performed really well without breaking me out.
Do you go for oils or balms?
