Facial Cleansing Oil For Combination and Oily Skin
with bergamot and cedarwood
Yes, oil cleansing can be incredibly helpful for oily skin! It works on the idea that “like dissolves like.” Basically, this means that the oils used for skin cleansing will break down the excess sebum and natural oils produced by your skin. They will clean out clogged pores and remove dead skin cells, make-up, and pollutants, without stripping the skin and further stimulating excess oil production, as traditional cleansers can do.
Our facial cleansing oil for combination and oily skin contains a carefully-formulated blend of pure organic plant oils, which do a fantastic job of dissolving all make-up (including eye make-up) and lifting impurities and dirt, whilst respecting your skin’s moisture barrier. Packed with essential fatty acids and antioxidants, this non-clogging oil wipes away easily with a hot damp flannel leaving your skin deeply cleansed, hydrated and glowing.
If you do one thing to transform your skincare routine, creating a cleaner, more balanced, hydrated and healthy complexion, we wholeheartedly recommend switching to our oil cleanser.
Directions for use:
Massage 1 pump of oil thoroughly into your face with your fingertips using small circular movements. Start with your cheeks, nose, mouth and jawline, before moving on to the eye area. Oil works quickly to dissolve make-up and dirt, but, if possible, we recommend taking the time to make this a relaxing ritual. Breathe in the calming, uplifting fragrance of bergamot and cedarwood and enjoy nurturing yourself with a massage. Then, take a clean flannel, soak it in piping hot water, before wringing out some of the excess water and pressing it over your face. Breathe in and allow the steam to penetrate your pores. Then, gently wipe everything away. Repeat if necessary. To finish, splash your face with warm water and pat dry with a clean towel.
