On Oil Cleansing
Oil cleansing is an efficient and gentle method of removing makeup, sunscreen, and impurities from the face. It’s an alternative to makeup wipes, micellar waters, and cleansing balms that may not be suitable for everyone. My favorite oil cleanser is the KOSÉ Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil for its ease of use. It is the first product used in my evening skincare routine since it effectively removes the sunscreen and makeup product from my face.

I apply one pump to clean, dry hands and massage it into my skin. The oil makes it easy for your fingers to glide across your face without any tugging or pulling. I slowly rinse and massage the oil off with cool water. As the oil emulsifies, it evolves into a milky texture that is easily washed away. My skin is left feeling smooth afterwards, without any trace of irritation. As someone with sensitive skin, this is a major plus.
KOSÉ Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil is easily found online and in Asian-specialized beauty shops. Its affordable price and refillable bottle make it an economical staple in my beauty routine.
For those struggling with removing sunscreen and makeup gently and easily, oil cleansing is probably right for you.
