My favourite cleansers!

Skin care is a big part of my daily routine, to me it's as important as brushing your teeth! I feel clean and refreshed after washing my face every morning and evening. That is why it may seem like I have too many cleansers, but I promise I use them all! Each one of my cleansers have their own role in my skin care.

The Exfoliator
Yes To Carrots: Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser
This exfoliator is an all rounder for me. It has natural ingredients (for the most part), lasts forever and keeps my skin hydrated! Everything I want out of an exfoliator. The smell is also an added bonus, it's delicious!
Applying this exfoliator is an easy and simple process, you know the usual scrub and rinse. But what really attracts me to it is the feeling of my skin after using this product. After I've dried my face, my skin feels as smooth as a baby's bottom! Even though I have slightly oily to normal skin, I pick up the Normal to Dry skin exfoliator as I believe our skin (no matter how oily) alsways needs a bit of hydration.

The Morning Cleanser
Clean & Clear: Morning Energy Skin Energising Daily Facial Wash
This is my simple morning cleanser. I bought this after being persuaded by the packaging which claims that the bursting beads brighten your complexion. This is definitely something I could use in the mornings when my skin is at its worst.
I believe that this cleanser does exactly what it says on the bottle! (Quite rare, I know)
After using this cleanser my face feels refreshed and awake. This is something that I feel is important for my mornings as I really do need whatever I can get to help me wake up.
Overall I think that this is a worthwhile product and its quite inexpensive as it can be picked up at most drugstores like Boots.




The 'Everyday' Cleanser
No.7: Beautiful Skin Foaming Cleanser
This little beauty is my basic, everyday cleanser. It is kind to my skin and just helps salvage it from a hard day. I have it in Normal/Oily as I've said, I do have slightly oily skin. 
This cleanser, by far, is the BEST smelling one ever! It may not be attractive to other people as it is quite like a perfumed-alcohol scent. But as it says on the bottle is it hypo-allergenic so it shouldn't irritate the skin.
I find this foaming cleanser easy to use as it has a simple pump that immediately dispenses a good amount of foam cleanser. I like how easy it is to smooth it over the skin and rinse it off as it is not a gel formula. 
I've also been using this for a few months and am only a quarter of the way through the bottle! So, this product is definitely long-lasting.



The Shower Cleanser

Soap & Glory: Face Soap and Clarity 3 in 1 Daily-Detox Vitamin C Facial Wash
It may sound strange that I have a face cleanser especially for my shower but it beats having to remember to bring one everytime I go in to the show. I also chose a cleanser that would cleanse my skin a little more deeply than my No.7 face wash. 
I generally use this face wash every second shower and it isn't really anythign special. It's just an inexpensive one I bought at Boots for the shower. It is one of the less luxurious ones on the marker but I refuse to fork out €30-40 for something I'm washing down the drain!
