CLEANSING OILS - Body Shop vs Clarins

By now you are probably aware of my love for cleansing oils to take off makeup. It has been a revolution is my nightly skincare routine as it is just so flippin good! I was first introduced to the world of cleansing oils with my purchase of the Body Shop's Silky Cleansing Oil. I was super sceptical to use an oil on my skin as I already have oil skin, and the thought of more oil... No thanks!

But to my surprise, it was the opposite! Do you remember in high school when we were doing those stupid equations like -1 + -1 = -2 or something (I wasn't really listening), this cleansing oil works kinda the same. It equalises your oil balance so that your skin does not over produce more oils. Very scientific.

The point is I fell in love with the Body Shop's cleansing oil! It is delightfully rich, nourishing and effectively removes every speck of makeup, including eye makeup.  But sadly it ran out...
So I popped out to Myer to try something knew (As a good beauty blogger does) and found that Clarins had released a cleansing oil aswell. The price was a little stepper, but I expected perhaps the skincare benefits might be greater. However over the past few weeks of trying the Clarins oil I have found that it is not quite up to the same standard as the Body Shop oil. Don't get the wrong, it still nourishes the skin and clears my makeup, just not as well. Overall Body Shop Cleansing Oil take the cake, Big clap for Body Shop Hurrahhhh!!!
