Product watch: Facial cleansers

1. Thou Shalt Trust in Cleansing Oil

If oil is not your instinctive choice for cleansing then Origin Clean Energy, €24, will make it so. This one-step cleanser and make-up remover cleans thoroughly without depleting the skin’s natural lipid barrier. It takes the day off but also boosts circulation in the morning, as it requires massage application. The rinse-off formula means there’s no greasy residue. I especially like the scent: a blend of sunflower and organic olive oils slough off debris while macadamia nut and grapeseed oils help to retain moisture.
