My favorite cleansing products. Let’s talk about my favorite make up removers today. I don’t really have any skin problems and simply use these products to remove my eye makeup. I’ve been using the High Impact mascara from Clinique for years, which was easily removable with hot water. Only if I’d put on makeup, I used my cleansing foam from Avène. As a matter of fact, I really didn’t care that much!

Less is more! I rather put less beauty products onto my skin. But then there came a time when I was speaking to a lot of people about skin care and everybody does a few more cleansing steps more than I do. So I thought I might need to change my cleansing routine a little bit. Here are four different cleansing products that I’ve been using for a while now… (I’ve recently discovered the cleansing milk from Weleda, which I am using every morning and evening. Quite a big change for me now!)

There are a lot of different cleansing products, let alone approaches. But why has it been so difficult to find the right ones in the last few years? I think I was just too lazy to try different products and more or less happy with those I used. I’ve recently read this article from Victorypug about the Korean cleaning steps and I was quite curious (read on if you’re interested). If the result is good why don’t I give it a try? These women don’t do a 30 minutes cleaning every day for nothing, right?

But let’s talk about my favorite products now! As I said, there are various products and I’ve just discovered that I’ve been using quite a lot of them: a cleansing foam / a cleansing balm / micellar water / cream cleanser / bi-phase remover / cleansing milk.

My skin type is normal but I tend to get reddened skin.

Favorite cleansing products -Creamy Remover-

For the no water in the morning people

• CLEANSING BALM by Sensilis (for dry and sensitive skin)
  This is the perfect product for winter! You apply the cleansing balm on your face and gently massage it into your skin. It turns oily and takes off EVERY Makeup! Afterwards, you take it off with a hot towel, which is like a little spa treatment each evening (can be used in the morning too). The  SENSILIS Ritual Care Cleansing Balm contains avocado oil and shea butter, which moisturizes and conditions my skin while bamboo extract promotes cell regeneration. Moreover, there is vitamin E, jojoba, sunflower and mimosa wax in it. One of my favorite products!

• Cream cleanser by Grown Alchemist
  I bought this cream cleanser from Grown Alchemist on the recommendation of a friend. However, I haven’t used the product so much in the last month. Somehow, I didn’t manage to get it into my daily routine. However, I really like its consistence and it smells heavenly of olives. Maybe my skin just needs to get used to all those creamy cleaning products. One big plus is that it’s organic cosmetic!

• Cleansing milk by Weleda (for sensitive skin)
  I’ve been knowing Weleda’s products for years now and have used the one or other product once in a while. Lately, I’ve started to use the almond cleansing milk, which I simply apply on my face and then massage it into my skin. Afterwards, you take it off with a wet wool pad. I cannot start the day without some water on my face, so I use the milk after washing it. To complete the routine I also use either the almond oil or almond moisturizer.

Favorite cleansing products -fresh & fluid remover-

For the first water morning people

• CLEANSING FOAM by Avène (for oily to normal and sensitive skin)
  I have been super happy with this Avène Cleansing Foam for years, which was the perfect cleanser in the evening for removing my makeup – no needs for cotton pads! It contains Avène Thermal spring water. Since I’m not using waterproof mascara, I can’t say if it works for it too. I had a fresh feeling afterwards and it removes lipids meaning oils and fats immediately off the skin which leads to a matte skin.

• Bi-Phase Remover by La Biosthetique (for the eye-makeup)
  If you have been following my beautypost for a long time, you may already know how much I love La Biosthetique‘s products. For me the bi-phase remover was a great extra product for removing stronger eye-makeup (as you can see the bottle is already empty). It also removes waterproof makeup without any problem and its ingredients are suitable for sensitive eyes.

• MICELLAR WATER by Bioderma (or micellar cleansing wipes from Garnier for travelling) (for sensitive skin)
  Since my discovery of the Bioderma Sensibio H2O I’ve been using it every single day. I’m the type of person who likes to have lots of fresh water in the morning and evening. Therefore, it’s the perfect product which also cleanses my face and removes every make up.

  Recommendation: I use wool pads to clean my face which prevents using up too much of it. Other people put it directly on their hands and splash the face. Works too!
