Taking a bath and cleansing my face at the end of a long day is my favorite (yes, I’m a wild party animal, I know). There’s something deeply therapeutic about rinsing off the stress and dust of the world and getting ready to rest up for a new day. Cleansing oils are designed to be used as the first step of this wonderful process, dissolving dirt and makeup that a foaming cleanser alone can’t handle.
The 2NDESIGN First Cleansing Oil Pure & Fresh contains only EWG (Environmental Working Group) green/safe ingredients and avoids using anything that could cause an allergic reaction. It’s available on* Jolse.
Key ingredients:
Jojoba oil - dissolves oil and blackheads
Macadamia oil - has anti-aging and moisturizing effects
Rosehip oil - promotes an even, healthy skin tone thanks to vitamins B, C, and E
Bergamot oil - supports the skin’s natural protective functions
The natural oils emulsify on contact with water and rinse clean without a residue. The product is effective yet gentle and is suitable for all skin types.
How to use:
Apply to dry skin with clean, dry hands
Massage for about 30 seconds
Add water to your palm and massage again (the oil will emulsify and turn white)
Rinse off and follow with a foaming cleanser (reviews for those are here)
My impressions:
This is a great cleansing oil. It comes in two versions - black and white - but looks like the only difference is in the pump color. Mine is black. The consistency is liquid but not watery, not too thick or too thin - just perfect. There’s a slight natural scent of bergamot which I adore.
The oil removes all of my makeup and sunscreen, including eye shadow and mascara. Massaging it on the face is a pleasant and luxurious experience. When water is added and the oil is rinsed, there is no residue, but the skin feels clean and moisturized (no dryness). I usually need two small pumps for the entire face and neck - the bottle will last me for months. You can read my other cleansing oil reviews here.
