Emma Hardie Face Cleansing Balm



I have seen this product being raved about so much I had to take the plunge and see what all the fuss was about. As I love the Liz Earle cleanse and polish & been using it for ages, I considered myself to be brave and step out of my routine to give this a try, costing £34.00 at feel unique.com. This cleanser isn't cheap.

The cleansing balm itself contains moringa seed extract, wild sea fennel and vitamin E to minimize the appearance of pores. Orange, Neroli and Mandarin extracts to rejuvenate and revitalise and Jasmine, Cedarwood and Rose to help re-hydrate and re-condition dry or dull skin. (that was a mouthful) It also claims to be very calming on sensitive skin too. I really like the smell of the cleanser, it smells really fresh and natural. I wasn't sure that I would get to grips with smoothing an oily balm over my face as opposed to a cream but it's pleasantly nice. The balm breaks down all traces of makeup and is safe to use on eyes too.


When I first looked at the size of the tub, I was a bit apprehensive about how long it would last me, but a little goes a really long way. The size of a £2 coin should cover your whole face and then a little extra swipe afterwards if my makeup is a bit on the heavy side. I also really love the cloth that is provided with this. I thought I'd forever be a muslin cloth girl, but the soft, gentle flannel is so much nicer to use on my skin. You can also use the balm as a face treatment when left on for 10 minutes and wiped away.

Since using the Emma Hardie cleanser, I have noticed a massive difference in the appearance of my skin.  I also feel as though my skin is a lot more hydrated and looks a lot more healthy. I also just really enjoy using this on my skin, it's a real treat when it's the end of the day and I can use this to remove my makeup. As this cleanser is so gentle and natural, I would say that it is suitable for all skin types. If you haven't ever tried a balm then take the plunge and go for it you'll be surprised like me.
