The Best Cleanser I’ve Ever Used

Do you ever find a beauty product that you instantly love so much you can’t imagine how you ever lived without it? I recently had that beauty “OMG” moment when I tried Colleen Rothschild‘s Cleansing Balm.

Up until a couple of weeks ago, I have to admit that I wasn’t very familiar with Colleen Rothschild or her [amazing] skincare products. But then I received the loveliest package in the mail containing the Radiant Cleansing Balm and Clarifying Detox Mask.

I have somewhat sensitive combination skin. Lately, I’ve just been using moistened facial wipes to cleanse my face in the evenings because my other cleansers were leaving my skin red and irritated.

I have never used any type of balm on my face…other than lip balm, of course. When I opened the jar, the scent of the product was so amazing that I felt like I had just walked into a swanky spa.

Once I applied the balm to my face, it felt so insanely luxurious that I didn’t even want to wash it off. So I didn’t. Well, for a while. I used warm water to wet the muslin cloth that comes with the balm and placed it over my face for about five minutes. And I still didn’t want to take it off.

But I also wanted to try the Clarifying Detox mask. So I rinsed off the balm, and I have to say, my skin felt amazing. No redness, no dryness, no irritation. Just super clean and that lingering spa smell.

Next, I applied the mask. I do use masks on a regular basis because I have a very oily T-Zone with large pores. I left the mask on for ten minutes while I laid under an umbrella by my pool. (It was full on spa-day now!) When I rinsed it off, my skin felt firm, but not tight. And again, no redness. Just a nice healthy glow.

Sometimes even I, a beauty blogger, am bad about remembering to wash my face and take my makeup off in the evening. I mean, I usually remember that I SHOULD, but sometimes I’m just too tired to do it. But now I am so addicted to this cleansing balm that I actually look forward to washing my face every night. Now every day is spa day.
