The Vitamin C Cleansing Oil and the Daily Micro Polish Wash
from Úna Brennan’s Superfacialist range are definitely
among my favourite skincare finds of the year. These two cleansing products
have a really luxurious feel for the reasonable price tags of £10.99 for the
oil and £9.99 for the daily scrub.
Until now, I have always avoided using any kind of oil on my
combination/ oily skin, however this cleansing oil leaves my skin feeling clean
without leaving behind any greasy residue. I massage the oil into my dry skin using fingers, and add some warm water to lather it into the skin. I then remove it thoroughly- I find muslin cloths to be great for
gently exfoliating without being too harsh. The golden oil has a lovely zesty
scent and just a few drops are enough to cleanse the whole face. The only
little nitpick I have is the packaging- the lack of pump is a bit of a pain,
but it definitely won’t stop me repurchasing.
Moving on to the scrub. Gone are the days when I would scrub
my face to death with chemical filled, stripping exfoliators (I’m looking at
you, Clearasil). Although I have moved on from this teen habbit, I do like to
use an exfoliator of some kind as my combination skin can get very dry on the
surface. I find the Úna Brennan Mirco Polish to be
gentle, whilst also being able to slough away dead skin as the particles are so so tiny (as
the name would suggest). The smell is similarly citrusy to the oil, and when I use these products together, my skin feels truly clean, soft and nourished.
What have been your favourite cleansing products of 2015?
My favourite exfoliator is the St Ives Apricot Scrub, it's all natural and isn't too harsh on the skin either. Definitely one of my favourite beauty products of the whole year x

Ohh yes, I used to be a big fan of the St Ives apricot scrub- it's a lovely texture isn't it! xx
DeleteI have heard great things about the whole line, but it isn't available in Germany, so I never tried it myself.

Ahh that's a shame! If you ever visit England you'll have to take a look in Boots :)
DeleteI've heard so much about the Cleansing Oil, I've been wanting to try it for ages! Thanks for sharing x

I really want to try the Superfacialist Range, the oil sounds so lovely! I've been using L'oreals Miracle Cleansing Oil which leaves my skin feeling really clean and smooth!

DeleteI'm glad to hear you're happy with the results of using more oil/oil-based products on your skin, as I'm about to start trying a facial oil by Clarins and have high hopes! :)

Sounds great, Clarins skincare is lovely- I'll have to look into their facial oils! Thanks for reading Gabrielle xx
DeleteCleansing oil tends to leave that greasy residue, but I've found some products that don't leave such feeling. I'm glad you've found yours too :)

Oh Dear Bumblebees
Yes, I have always associated cleansing oils with greasiness but this one has definitely proved me wrong! x
DeleteOh, I love Vitamin C products! We don't get this brand here in the States, though.
ReplyDeleteI'm old school -- my favorite cleanser is still Bioderma (the one with the pink cap), lol.

DeleteThese look like such cool products.

I haven't tried either of these products before but they sounds lovely :) I'm currently using Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish which I got for Xmas and so far it's living up to my high expectations x
ReplyDeleteLiz Earle Cleanse and Polish was the only cleanser I used before trying this! It's so lovely isn't it :) x
DeleteI really enjoy using products with vitamin c in them so these both sound great, especially the super facialist polish :)

I am yet to try skincare products from this range, my favourite cleanser has to be the La Roche Posay Effaclar purifying gel, it's so light and gentle but really does have that deep clean effect.
