Cleansing with Oskia.

I'm sure by now that if you are into skincare you will have heard of, if not used, Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel. I recently finished a bottle of this and I have to say that it was very lovely indeed - it is a product that lives up to the hype and I can see why it gets the rave reviews it does.

Oskia have a couple of other cleansing options and as I have used all three I thought I would take a look at them all together...

Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel

This gel cleanser melts to an oil on application, turns milky with the addition of water and rinses off leaving your skin not only clean but softened. It smells of chamomile and roses and it's pink but it's not just a girly face wash. It is very gentle and soothing yet it is rich in vitamins and enzymes. It doesn't strip your skin but leaves it looking healthy and, yes, glowing! I found it did a great job of dissolving make up (FYI I always use a separate eye make up remover) and it rinsed off easily. You can use it as both a first and second cleanse although I tended to use it mostly in the morning.  

Suitable for all skin types.

Oskia Perfect Cleanser

This thick oil based balm was formulated for drier, more mature skin but it can be used by anyone. It contains vitamins and Omegas 3 and 6 to soothe skin and boost collagen production. It feels very nourishing and does a fabulous job of removing make up. I like to rub this over my face - the consistency softens as it warms up - and massage it to dissolve my make up before removing it with a face cloth and warm water. (It goes milky with the addition of water and rinses off fairly easily - not the easiest though). I use this as first cleanse. It's great for facial massage and especially nice in the winter when your skin needs a little extra pampering.

Osaka Micro Exfoliating Balm

I received this in a Caroline Hirons Cult Beauty Box and it is the best facial exfoliator that I have ever used! 

It has a creamy, balm like base that contains minute grains of silica and Oskia's wonder ingredient MSM, which is a type of sulphur, to gently buff your skin. There's also glycerin to hydrate, zinc and chamomile to soothe, peptides, minerals, Omegas - honestly, this has all the good stuff! It smells like sweet confectionery and is extremely gentle, not at all harsh or aggressive as exfoliators sometimes can be and the grains dissolve fully with the addition of water so that it rinses clean off.  

It feels like a luxury product, is a real treat to use and leaves your skin feeling clean, softened and moisturised.

So far, I think it's safe to say that I've never met an Oskia product I didn't like and I highly recommend them if you're in the market for a new cleanser!
