Review: New Elemis Nourishing Omega Rich Cleansing Oil

So January sees the launch of a new cleanser and it comes at a great time, with the new year comes time to re-evaluate and kick start your skincare routine and cleansing is a great place to start...

Elemis Nourishing Omega Rich Cleansing Oil 200ml £29.50

Here's what Elemis say:

"Blended with over 90% natural oils, our new clinically proven* Cleansing Oil has been formulated to ensure it maintains the skin’s delicate acid mantle at its optimum pH 4.5 - 5.5.

Maintaining this optimum level ensures that the beneficial microflora on the skin are kept in balance to keep skin healthy.

The Winter Rose oil, rich in Omega-9, with skin-conditioning Chia seed it effectively removes make-up whilst maintaining the skin's natural barrier. Vitamin-rich Pomegranate ensures that skin is left looking healthy and radiant.

*Independent Clinical Trials 2015"

So at first I found it a bit odd to put an oil on remove my make up but as soon as I started to massage it in, I could literally see the make up melt away, I then added a small amount of water to further break down the make up and once I took it off using a cleansing cloth, I loved it. My skin felt super clean but super soft and hydrated too AND it smells great!!!

Last year I started double cleansing but using a micellar water as my first cleanse, so this new product has replaced that and for winter time is great to get a bit more hydration in my routine. 

I also really like using this cleansing oil in my morning routine but washing it off rather than using a cleansing cloth and only doing one cleanse (I don't feel its necessary to double cleanse in the morning)

Overall I think this is a great addition to a cleansing routine and would suit all skin types, especially good if you wear make up and want to ensure squeaky clean skin without stripping the skin.
