Love it: CosMedix Purity Solution Cleansing Oil

Anyone that checks in here regularly will know that I’m a huge fan of oils - body oils, hair oils and facials oils - and love the fact that nine times out of ten, they are brilliant multitaskers and are great travel companions too.

Cleansing your face with one is a given with me, but for many oil may seem counterintuitive, especially for those who associate it with breakouts and the like. Well it just ain’t true, and there are more and more great oil-based cleansers arriving on the market all the time that are making their way into bathroom cabinets across the globe.

Cleansing your skin is one of the most important parts of the skincare regimen, and it’s always a good idea to track down a richer, heavier cleanser when the temperature plummets. It can definitely help address the dryness that comes with the cooler air and when used correctly can make a real difference to your skin’s health and wellbeing. Cleansing removes makeup, dirt and debris from the skin. It also helps to cleanse pores (hair follicles actually) of dead skin cells and sebum to help prevent acne.

For aging skin, a cleansing oil can be a great way to help remove makeup, dirt and debris and also to help fight off free radicals that actually cause skin to age quicker.  CosMedix, a skincare line harnessing the power of chiral correction (a purification process that delivers professional grade results without any downtime and reduced irritation), is devoted to helping many different types of skin conditions, all without the use of any harmful ingredients. They have a rather special formula called Purity Solution Nourishing Deep Cleansing Oil that is great for any skin type, and on the principle that oil can cut through oil.

Using a nourishing blend of natural oils and extracts, including Argan Oil, Moringa Oil and anti-oxidant rich Melia Azadirachta Extract, the deep cleansing oil fights off free radicals and also dissolves makeup, excess oil, dirt and debris. It also leaves skin looking absolutely glowing and radiant as it helps get rid of dead skin cells and debris that clogs pores. 

The best way to use it I’ve found is to pop three or so pumps on dry hands and apply onto dry skin. Massage it in a circular motion onto areas that are most congested and/or covered in makeup for 20-30 seconds, then wet hands and massage the formula into a milky emulsion. Rinse it off the face with tepid water until no traces remain. I usually give my skin a gentle once over with a warm muslin cloth to really get the last of anything off, then continue with the rest of my routine.

Sound like a bit of you? I reckon it sounds like a bit of everyone! It also has a relatively low RRP of $57.00 for a product of its quality, and for a stockist near you give this number a bell: 0800 238 754
