Have you ever washed your face, dried it on the towel only to find residual foundation or mascara on it? Your cleanser might not be doing the best job at removing stubborn waterproof makeup or even sunscreen on your skin, which is unhygienic and also stifling for your skin.
The best way to cleanse off any impurities and makeup from your skin is to use an oil cleanser. They help to dissolve any waterproof makeup. Start with a dry face and about two to three pumps of oil cleanser. Gently massage all over skin and watch as makeup lifts off from skin. Wet your hands and go over your skin again to emulsify the oil, and then wash off and follow with your regular cleanser.

This tri-phase cleansing oil contains three different layers – serum, cleansing oil and water. The oil later helps wick away hard-to-remove sunscreen and waterproof makeup while the water purifies without clogging pores. Lastly, the serum soothes irritation and contains antioxidants to help fight against free radical damage.
Like all Huxley products, this cleansing oil also features the star ingredient prickly pear cactus seed oil. It boasts an exceptional ability to retain hydration due to its harsh native environment, and also contains plenty of antioxidants to help your skin defend against free radical damage.

The essential oil blend contains laurel leaf oil, frankincense oil, lavender oil, orange peel oil and wintergreen oil to invigorate your senses while you cleanse.

The Tatcha Pure One Step Camellia Cleansing oil uses Japanses Camellia Oil as its base. It’s rich in antioxidants, as well as Vitamins A, B, D and E and nourishing Omegas 3, 6, and 9; all without feeling heavy on skin. Tatcha’s proprietary complex, the Hadasei-3 Complex, is also infused into the cleansing oil to boost its anti-ageing properties and help promote healthier skin.
