Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Cleansing Oil : Best Cleansing Oil ?

by Sone

I am a total skincare junkie that is no secret ;)As a child, I saw too many women look at themselves in the mirror with a slight frown on their forehead; reminiscing days when their skin was radiant and beautiful.Then itself I had decided to really, and I mean Really take care of my skin. To avoid that frown later on?  :)Being a beauty blogger (ugh, labels –what to do); I have used a million skin care products and more.It’s very rare that a product manages to impress me now.A month ago, I started using this Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Cleansing Oil…and I have a lot to say apparently about this is the Best Cleansing Oil!

My Experience with Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Botanical Cleansing Oil

PACKAGING- This cleansing oil comes in a pump bottle. It’s very efficient and easy to use. The dark color of the bottle ensures that antioxidant goodness is not lost.

Texture– It is a  lightweight dry oil that immediately gets absorbed in the upper layer of skin

HOW I USE IT:

I use this daily at night time. For regular use, two pumps suffice for me. On days when I have applied makeup, I use two pumps for the face and one pump each for eye and lip area.

My way of using this is a little different.

I apply this and massage it in. I let it sit for 30 seconds.

I then emulsify this with a bit of water and massage further.

As a final step, I take a face cloth/ face towel. Soak it in warm water and squeeze out the excess. I place that towel on my face for 30 seconds and then gently scrub the excess away. Remember, very gently  :)

This does two things,

It cleans the upper layer of my skin thoroughly and removes any impurities/makeup.

It makes my skin surface smooth and more receptive to my nighttime treatments.

*Tip *

When using any cleansing oil/balm be very careful of removing it from the outer margins of the face. Pay special attention to hairline and jawline. We often neglect these places and slowly oil builds up there.

 

HOW WELL DID IT WORK FOR ME?

You know the skeptic that turned a fan?

Well, that’s me!

I absolutely love what this has done for my skin.

I already have good skin, but this one has taken it to another level.

Not a single biphasic makeup remover, face wash or balm has been able to achieve which this beauty has done.

It is just the right consistency. Soothing aroma and some magical voodoo that makes your skin ready for nourishment!
