I never miss this step in my routine! Morning and night, I use my Nature’s Glow Oil Cleanser. It just feels so good. It’s like taking 2 minutes to give myself a little spa treatment. And my skin feels and looks amazing afterwards. The nourishing ingredients mean that it effectively cleanses the skin while keeping it healthily moisturised. The skin doesn’t feel tight or dry afterwards. It’s plump and glowy.
What’s so special about oil cleansers?
Why cleansing oils are so good for your skin
There are a few things that set oil cleansers apart from your usual lotion cleansers.
Relies on natural ingredients
As these cleansers rely on the power of oils, you can get some amazing ones that only use natural ingredients. This varies by brand so double-check that they haven’t included any synthetic ingredients or chemical preservatives. Esker Fields is all natural. Our oil cleanser only includes jojoba, sweet almond, castor, apricot kernel oils, Vitamin E and grapefruit, cypress, geranium, may chang and benzoin essential oils. That means it’s less likely to irritate and disrupt the skin and it’s better for the environment.
Works for all skin types
Oil cleansers are adaptable. You can use them on dry to oily skin. In particular, the magic lies in the jojoba oil. This replicates the natural sebum our skin produces and it can’t actually tell the difference. If you’ve got dry skin and you apply it, the skin will be prompted to produce more sebum. If you’ve got oily skin and you apply it, the skin will register that there’s too much sebum and stop producing it. Whatever is going on with your skin, oil cleansers with jojoba oil can rebalance it.
Doesn’t strip the skin of natural oils
Oil cleansers remove what you don’t want on your skin and leave what you do. It works on the principle that like dissolves like. So as you apply the oil, it will dissolve excess sebum, makeup and anything else that you don’t want clogging up your pores. It does this without disrupting the skin’s natural balance and oils. It feels refreshing, not stripping. But don’t worry, it can remove a full face of makeup. The natural and gentle way can be just as effective!
Like a spa treatment in a bottle
The sensation of massaging velvety oils into your skin is very luxurious. I would recommend you take your time to massage it into your skin. Taking an extra 60 seconds to slowly make your way over your face and neck is a wonderfully relaxing experience. Especially when the oil cleanser includes essential oils like the Esker Fields one does. The aromas will help your body regulate, finding calm and grounding like an anchor for the end and beginning of your day.
There’s a lot to love about oil cleansers!
How do you use an oil cleanser?
It’s about time I properly introduce you to the Esker Fields oil cleanser. Nature’s Glow Cleansing Oil is a fully natural cleanser, blending nourishing oils for their skincare and wellbeing benefits. Here’s how you use it.
- Take 2 pumps (3 if you have heavier makeup on) of the cleansing oil. Warm it up between your fingers and hold your hands to your face to deeply breathe in the essential oil aromas. That’s the quickest way to experience their relaxing effects.
- Massage it into your skin. Go slowly around your face and down your neck. Be in the moment, focusing on the sensation of the oil on your skin and the soothing aromas.
- Be careful around the eyes because the skin is very delicate. Just go around the eye socket and then at the end gently massage any remaining oil on the eyelids to dissolve makeup.
- Then take a warm face cloth and place it over your face. Let the heat open up your pores for a deep cleanse and intensify the essential oil aromas for deep relaxation. Take a mindful moment here.
- Finally, use the cloth to finish massaging in and removing the cleansing oil. Follow up with our Rejuvenating Facial Serum and Nature’s Glow Moisturising Balm for a bright, glowy and healthy complexion.
