First times a charm

Seeing as this is my first post, I thought I would stick to reviewing one of my favourite and also the most used beauty products that live of my bathroom shelf.........

Introducing Eve Lom Cleanser

I work in a shop full of cleansers, so many different ones that I could probably wash my face for a month and not have to use the same one twice. But the one that interested me most when I first started work was the Eve Lom, mainly because I had used a balm cleanser before and liked how it felt on my skin. When I took a tester home to try it, I was amazed. The texture is slightly grainy as it doubles as a light daily exfoliate, the smell is what I consider to be pure cleanliness! The clove oil is just enough to smell it as it the coco butter. 

You apply 50p sized amount of cleanser over a dry face and massage the eve lom evenly, then reach for your muslin cloth (each cleanser has a free one inside) and rinse it with warm water then lay over your face for a few seconds. Then take it off, the muslin cloth helps to deep clean your skin and rid yourself of old dead dirty skin! It helps to open your pores and clear blackheads to give a smoother feeling to the skin :-) Then rinse the milky balm off your face gently, apply over eyes as well to take off the darkest of eye make up. Then splash your face with cold water. Boom. Done. 

What I found from the first application was my skin felt smooth, silky and nourished, Which I assume is from the Egyptian chamomile oil. Some cleansers can make dry skin, like mine feel tight after using it but Eve Lom has Coco Butter in which has always been great for my skin. 

I have seen some people have break outs after using Eve Lom at first, but I have always put that down to it being such a deep cleanse and its bringing out old dirt trapped in the skin, which sadly does happen when you start using a really good cleanser! but all the people who have continued use of it have seen it settle down after a couple of weeks. Thankfully it does contain Clove Oil which works as an antiseptic so it will stop massive breaks outs :-) 

Extra Muslin cloths con be bought at £14 for a three pack, its good to have a three cloth rotation so you always have a clean one handy otherwise bacteria can be spread, which causes breakouts. NEVER use fabric softener to wash them as they need to be slightly roughish to get that deep cleanse and to get the dead skin off your face. 

You can buy Eve Lom at your local Space Nk Apothecary, its £40 for 50mls which lasts me 3 months, £55 for 100ml and £85 for 200ml. the 200ml will last you a year! 

All in all, Eve Lom Cleanser is not a product I will be replacing anytime soon from my nightly routine. 

To be honest my skin feel like poo when I don't use it and as the only 5 in one product that exfoliates, tones, moisturises, decongests and CLEANS the skin its something I would recommend to anyone reading this to try out. Pop into Space NK for facial with Eve Lom to test run it, you will see and feel the results straight away and be hooked!
