As much as
I love skincare, I’m not the most adventurous when it comes to moisturizers and
serums, but I do love testing out new masks and cleansers because I’m less
scared they will mess with my face. This has led to some hoarding of various
cleansers and in an effort to declutter my home this January I have reviews for
two gems I have discovered in my stash. So let me introduce you to my favorite
cream cleansers, the Innisfree Green Barley Cleansing Cream and the Clarins
Gentle Foaming Cleanser with Shea Butter.
The Green
Barley Cleansing Cream is a great multipurpose cleanser, you can use it in the
morning or as a second cleanse in the evening for supple skin that doesn’t feel
stripped. It is also great at removing makeup in a gentle but really efficient way
(though I don’t use it on my eyes). The main reason for this is that while it
comes out as a light cream/thick lotion it actually melts instantly onto your
skin and turns into a light oil-milk that you can really massage into the skin
and it simply dissolves makeup. I really love how this affordable cleanser can
double up as a makeup remover and it leaves my face feeling soft.
Now let me
start by saying that the Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser with Shea Butter is
NOT a foaming cleanser (I have no idea why the named it that), it is actually a
really lush cream cleanser. It comes out quite a thick cream from the tube, but
you can massage it in and it turns into a watery milk once you add water to
emulsify it. There’s no oiliness at all with this one but the Shea butter adds
moisture back into the skin making it a perfect cleanser for cold winter
mornings. On a side note, this smells amazing!! It’s a light, creamy and
slightly sweet scent that I find quite addictive, I wish they had a body lotion
with the same scent. As usual Clarins really knows how to make great cleansers.
