Hey there guys!
So, I know that I have been absent from this blog for a very long time but I have had lots of problems, both technical and personal. I'm now back and have planned and scheduled blog posts for the next couple of months! I am going to be blogging three times a week (fingers crossed!) from now on.. because I love to do it but I really have not had the time or been in the right frame of mind lately, so hopefully now being back will help sort everything out!
Anyway, on with the review!
As you can see from the picture, I have almost used every last squeeze of this product so you know that my opinions are entirely true because I have been using it continuously for a month or so. Of course, I am not going to review something that I have only used once or twice because I cannot really base an opinion on that and reading the reviews would be a waste of you're time and we don't want that do we?! Also, please excuse the state of the make-up stained cloth, it has been through the washing machine several times but I just can't seem to get it completely clean!
To start off this review, I just want to say how I love the packaging. I love the packaging of all Soap & Glory products, and I always have done even with the newer packaging coming through on some items. I love how simple the design is and that it tells you everything you need to know in a simple way, because who wants to be reading through billions of lines of minute writing!
When I first started using this I was a little apprehensive as I had never tried a Hot Cloth Cleanser before and I didn't really know what to expect from it, but now I can say that I would like to try many different types too see what I think of those too and I am pleased that I started my Hot Cloth Cleanser experiences with this one. At first, I had no idea how much of the cleanser I would need to apply to my face and on the first few tries I seemed to be using such a large amount that I couldn't see the tube lasting me a week let alone the month and a half that it has. After a week or so of using the cleanser every morning, I had managed to gage how much I needed to use to ensure that the whole surface of my face was thoroughly cleansed. This amount was nowhere near the amount that I thought at first, which is why it last me as long as it did, because a little amount of this stuff can go a long way!
If you haven't used this type of cleanser before, you basically get a little bit of the cleanser on the tips of your fingers and massage it onto your dry face for 2-3 minutes. You can use it straight ontop of your make-up to remove and cleanse at the same time or remove your make-up first and then cleanse in a separate step. Either way, the outcome is not affected and it still does just as good a job when removing your make-up too. Once you have massaged it into your face, you put your muslin cloth into some warm water, rinse it out and use the cloth to massage back over your face and remove the cleanser. Then you can carry on and do the rest of your skincare routine.
Since using this, I can honestly say that the overall appearance and condition of my skin has improved immensely! Having combination skin (oily down my t-zone and dry patches) and very sensitive skin, I find it difficult to find skincare products that I can stick with and that will no make me go all red and blotchy, which is not a pretty sight at all. However, this cleanser seems to have balanced all of those aspects out, my t-zone doesn't seem as oily and my cheeks and forehead are nowhere near as dry, in fact I hardly get dry patches now at all! I would definitely repurchase this cleanser and once I have used some of my other cleansers that I want to test out, that is what I am going to do. I have never been able to stick with a cleanser for too long until I tried this one and I am very pleased that I decided to go for it and try something new because I now love it!
I hope some of you out there have found this helpful!
