What I Say:
With combination skin prone to breakouts I have not always
thought that cleansing oils were ideal for my skin. How very wrong I was. And
during winter, my skin does tend to become a little drier, so even I need to
step up the moisture levels. The new cleansing oil from L’Occitane contains 5%
shea oil that helps keep your skin soft and hydrated while removing all makeup.
The cleansing oil does naturally feel oily on the skin at first, but once
rinsed off it doesn’t leave behind any oily residue at all, nor does it dry out
the skin and leave it feeling tight.
To use, I pump a couple of pumps of the oil into my hand and
massage it onto my face to loosen up makeup, dirt and grime, before adding a
little water to emulsify and make it turn milky, massaging for a further minute
or so before finally rinsing my face. And my skin is left incredibly soft and
smooth, and every last bit of makeup removed, even my otherwise longwearing
waterproof mascara, and that without any rubbing or pulling at the sensitive
eye area. And all with just one cleanse – although I always like to double
cleanse, following with a ‘treatment’ cleanser.
The cleansing oil has a nice consistency that is neither too
thick or too runny, and it has a lovely and powdery shea butter fragrance, that
is so soft and delicate that you can only love it.
The L’Occitane Shea Butter Cleansing Oil comes in a tall
see-through pump bottle that is easy to use. As well as the shea butter, it
also contains sunflower seed oil, baobab seed oil and vitamin E, to help care
for the skin.
Overall this is a really lovely cleansing oil, and I love
how quick it is to use and how easily it removes all my makeup, so if you like
cleansing oils, I highly recommend that you check out this new Shea Butter one
from L’Occitane, even if you’ve got dry skin, you won’t be disappointed. * Some products may have been kindly provided for consideration, and have reviewed in accordance with my Disclosure Policy.
