Why use Breathe Gentle Cleansing Oil?

Soaps and traditional cleansers clean the skin using surfactants – much like dishwashing liquid cleans dishes. Unfortunately, they do not distinguish between the oils you don’t want and the oils you do want on your skin; hence, they usually strip your skin of natural oils, making your skin feel squeaky clean and tight, but also leaving it unbalanced. This causes your skin to produce even more oil to rebalance it. Excess production equals more problematic skin, as people with oily and acne-prone skin can tell you! Using Breathe Gentle  Cleansing Oil to cleanse will maintain the skin’s natural pH balance, and prevent it from having a production overload. It is specially formulated to cleanse all skin types, to remove makeup and sunscreen, surface debris and excess oil, leaving your skin feeling fresh, hydrated, supple and smooth.

Breathe Gentle Cleansing Oil contains apricot oil and castor oil, which hydrate and moisturise , as well as essential oils of Chamomile, Grapefruit, Rosemary & Lavender. which are naturally antibacterial. Breathe Gentle Cleansing Oil is gentle enough to use around the eyes.

Use day and night. Massage a small amount into the face and neck, concentrating on areas with more makeup. Remove gently with a steamy face towel for fresh, glowing, hydrated skin. For maximum benefit, follow with Breathe Hydrating Mist and either Double Double Corrective Facial Serum  or Breathe Anti-ageing Facial Serum, and Feisty Ferdy Face Cream or Balm. Always use sun protection for your face and neck.
