 Scent and Texture:
This has a gorgeous delicate, fresh scent - it smells of freshly cut fruit and vegetables in the summertime! Texture is a clear viscous gel.
 
Application:
Massage onto damp face and neck to release a very slight foam. I find this facial wash is ideal to use with my Foreo Luna sonic cleanser as it gives just enough foamy slip to enable the Foreo to buzz away over my face without dragging and pulling on my skin.

 
Hopefully you can make out from this photograph the very gentle and light foam after applying the tiniest amount of water. The gel turns slightly milky too.

 
Thoughts:
 My preferred second cleanser would always be a gel cleanser which gives a very light foam (too much foam and I start to worry about it being too drying on my skin). And the Daily Detox Facial Wash is my ideal for a second cleanser as it ticks all the boxes for everything I look for in a cleanser.
 
It feels very light and fresh but still has the power behind it to remove any traces of an oil or balm first cleanser and the last remnants of eye makeup that remain (without irritating my eyes at all).
 
I can have sensitivity issues with products where Aloe is high on the ingredients list, but despite Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice being the second ingredient, I'm happy to report that I had absolutely no sensitivity issues using this cleanser. On the contrary, I found this to be one of the gentlest and most soothing second cleansers that I've used.
 
I'm loving that Evolve Beauty often use Moringa Peptides in their products. Moringa Peptides are like natural filters for the skin - preventing micro-particles of pollution from sticking to the skin. They're also great for re-balancing the natural oil in your skin, making this a great product for oily and combination skins. Evolve Beauty also use Moringa Peptides in their True Balance Lotion.

 I don't generally use a facial wash for my morning cleanse (preferring instead to use floral water) but if you do, I'd highly recommend this as both a morning cleanser and second cleanser in your evening routine. This is one of those products which is pretty impressive in it's duality - light and fresh enough for a morning cleanser, but with enough oomph to be a very competent second cleanser also.

Morning Skincare Routine - May

Image
  For the past few weeks I haven't been washing my face in the morning! I'm a great fan of the double-cleanse method, but then I read somewhere about not needing to double-cleanse in the morning if you double-cleanse at night. It was advised that you start your morning routine with the toner step, skipping out oil cleansers and foaming washes (or whatever double-cleansing products you use) altogether. Now it's not like I'd jump off a cliff if the internet told me to, but this made a bit of sense to me - why add more potentially drying/stripping/exfoliating products when there was no make-up to remove?   And this has worked out brilliantly well for me personally. I'd go so far as to say that I could currently change my skin status from combination/oily to NORMAL! I've noticed that by just toning in the morning, the oiliness on my face has calmed right down. And better still, I haven't had to blot in the day and very rarely use any type of powd

Flower Beauty ~ Light Illusion Foundation ~ First Impressions

Image
  Flower Beauty ~ Light Illusion Foundation £12.99 at Superdrug BUY HERE   I'd never heard of Flower Beauty before, let alone that it was a cruelty-free makeup range by Drew Barrymore. And I'll be honest, I bought it because I liked the look and sound of it! It took a while to get my hands on some too. Superdrug announced that they would be stocking the brand, although it must be available only in the bigger stores as it's not yet reached Norwich and I had to buy this online - completely without testing it first or even being sure about a colour match.   The shade I opted for, 'Nude', was unavailable for ages online but as soon as I got the notification email that it was back in stock, I ordered right away.   I'm not generally keen on buying foundations online without having first at least gotten a colour match - usually, this spells disaster and a product that I end up discarding quite quickly. But I struck gold with choosing the 'Nude&

TonyMoly ~ The Fresh Phytoncide Pore Gel Cream Review

Image
TonyMoly  ~The Fresh Phytoncide Pore Gel Cream   I'm coming to the end of this pot of pore gel cream which I have been using everyday, both morning and evening since I opened it nearly two months ago. But typically, there seems to be very little information about this online and it doesn't seem to be readily stocked and easy to buy!   I picked this up from T.K Maxx, which could explain why it doesn't seem like a popular product online (and I mean popular in readily available) as it was possibly an end of line product, hence the reason why it ended up in T.K Maxx.   The product   The Fresh Phytoncide pore cream gel is a lightweight gel cream in the same vein as the water/aqua gels. It contains 100% pure Hinoki Cypress Water instead of distilled water. The cream is suited for oily/combination skin and acne troubled skin and enlarged pores.   Ingredients The writing on the pot is all in Korean but I found a list of ingredients on the CosDNA site.
