Firstly I just wanted to say thank you to all that left comments on my post about Matt’s accident, he is doing better and was very grateful to everyone that wished him well.
If you have skin allergies, issues or acne you may well be looking for a pure, organic, fragrance free makeup remover and cleanser that is similar to a Liz Earle or Eve Lom type of thing. It’s taken a long while to find such a product but I finally have and it comes in the shape of the Green People No Scent Cleanser which is sold at around £15 depending on the shop, for a large 200ml pump bottle.
The Green People No Scent Cleanser is an ultra-gentle, fragrance free two in one cleanser and make-up remover. It is safe and gentle for your skin whether it is young or old. It is so gentle it can even be used to remove your eye make-up.
I’ve used it to remove my makeup every night for a week now and the way I get the best results is to apply in circular motions directly onto my made up face, and massage in using my ring finger to massage the cleanser into my eyelashes gently to remove the mascara. Sometimes I use the Eve Taylor rubber facial brush which is the blue bobbly thing pictured above if I really have a lot of makeup to shift. I then use hot water and a nice clean flannel to wipe off my makeup, I prefer white so I can see when all of the makeup is removed. I prefer flannels to muslin cloths as they are cheaper, easier to get hold of and I find them softer on my face which is very sensitive. I just buy the packs of 2 for 75p from Sainsburys or Asda, much more cost conscious than muslin cloths and better for the environment than cotton wool although you can use cotton wool to remove the cleanser, but I just wouldn’t recommend doing it like that.
I use two pumps of cleanser and due to the large size I would say you wouldn’t need to buy a bottle more than once a month, probably once every six weeks.
The Green People Organic Base formulations are free from sodium lauryl/laureth sulphate, irritating emulsifiers, ethyl alcohol, parabens, synthetic colours and fragrances and all other unnecessary synthetic ingredients. The Organic Base “No Scent” range is also formulated without essential oils. *Preservatives used are phenoxyethanol, benzoic acid and dehydroacetic acid
Overall I like the consistency and the makeup removing properties of this cleanser, it doesn’t irritate my skin or my eczema, it has no scent and handy, clean pump bottle packaging and it’s organic. It removes my current mascara which is YSL shocking, easily and with no black panda eyes the next day. The price is reasonable in my opinion and this could be used by the whole family men and women due to it having no scent.
I give this product a 9/10 and would definitely repurchase. I think this is a great alternative to Liz Earle cleanse and polish hot cloth cleanser for those whose skin can’t tolerate that.
You can buy their products on many online natural health shops or natural skincare shops or here http://www.greenpeople.co.uk/?gclid=CP7sj5je_awCFUhrfAod_iuQTA
On another note I did my mums nails the other day in the shade Sweet Peacock by Orly, I even did mine to match! The colour is so pretty, I just wish my nails were as long and pretty as my mums!
Do you like muslin cloths or flannels?
