It’s 65 in Lisbon today but we were by the coast a few days ago and it felt considerably colder and before I left New York Fall was already turning into Winter and washing my face is turning into a horror show. I really have to be careful what I use to cleanse this time of the year because I end up with dry, flaky patches if I’m not careful. And no matter how many oils, creams, lotions, and potions I use getting rid of those dry patches can be difficult.
Elemis, Elemis is my savior. I forgot how much I love Elemis Cleansing Balm and last year, on a whim, I somehow discovered they had a Fragrance-Free Naked Cleansing Balm! How did I not know about this? I LOVE the Elemis Pro-Collagen Green Fig Cleansing Balm but the Naked can be awesome on days I’m feeling a little sensitive.
Elemis is definitely one of the richest balms I’ve tried. It’s a super emollient cleansing balm that has an oil-like consistency as you massage it into your skin! It’s very, very hydrating and doesn’t leave skin tight or dry after use. You use it as you would any cleansing balm! Simply massage it onto your dry skin, add a little water to emulsify it, massage a bit more, and rinse. Done! It removes all your makeup in one go!
The Holidays are always a good time to haul Elemis as they do great Holiday Gift Sets. Currently you can score the Elemis The Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm Collection Kit which is $63 and includes three Cleansing Balm. The set includes the original balm, the rose one, and the naked one. These are 1.7 oz each giving the set a value of $120 as each 1.7 oz balm is normally $40 each. The set is normally $90 and available at Macy’s for $73 due to their current discount but it’s even better at dermstore.com as it’s on sale for $63!
So, if your skin is feeling a little too tight and dry after a cleanse you might want to check this set out! Are you a lover of the Elemis Cleansing Balm formula? Do share! P.S. If your eyes are dry try the Pro-Collagen Eye Revive Mask! It’s soaks in like a dream!
