This year, one of my resolutions is to maintain a strict and non-lazy skincare routine. By non-lazy I mean, stop using cheap face wipes and micellar water Zoe. They're only for late night and drunken cleansing. I should be giving my face a full wash off cleanse at least once every day!
But whyyyyyyy? Face wipes and micellar water (particularly Bioderma) are awesome! They take about two minutes and I don't even have to leave my room! Unfortunately, my skin didn't agree with this one bit and decided to dry out and erupt in protest.
So with a lazy sigh, I stepped up my skincare routine, and stepped up to the sink...
What is this!? This is the cleanser I was using over November and December (with the exclusion of late nights and hungover mornings) - it's the Botanics Hot Cloth Cleansing Balm.
A balm? For the face? Even for oily skin? Apparently for all skin types according the label.
The way that the Botanics Hot Cloth balm works is that it melts into the skin like a face oil. You rub it all over the face to dissolve makeup and then you wash it off. The oil in the balm binds to the oil in your pores so that the grime is washed off with the balm.
Beauty pros and other bloggers have been raving about balms and cleansing oils for a while, so I thought I'd jump on the wagon and give it a go..
So what did I think?

Spring Clean Your Skin: Botanics Hot Cloth Cleansing Balm
2013- another year already. Judging by the growing wear on my SNOOZE button, I certainly am not adjusting to work life easily.... LOL, I'm actually writing this using the voice search on a tablet and when I need a full stop I have to say period (damn american corporations) so I just had to say period period period.. Oh lord, am I still drunk?
Moving on!
New years resolutions. Have you thought of yours yet? Forget the boring ones about exercising more, eating more fruit and flossing - I have decide to come up with a couple Face Value style resolutions. They may not be vital health/life decisions but I will probably abandon them mid-March as I would do all the serious resolutions..
Thou shalt resolve to..
1. Wash your makeup brushes daily , as often as possible.
Yes, yes we all know cleaning your brushes is important. Its helps you stop spreading bacteria and debris across your face and it also helps your colours and textures stay true to how they were intended. Ideally, one should wash brushes daily especially brushes which use cream and liquid cosmetics as these harbour bacteria more easily than powder. In reality, daily?? Sure, I'll do it straight after I finish my home baked cookies and done my Finnish practice... We all know daily aint gonna happen so lets aim for every fortnight at least and sooner for priority brushes.
FACE VALUE TIP: there are specialist cleaners out there which you squeeze into water and swill your brushes in, but- for beauties on a budget, any sort of gentle shampoo like baby shampoo is a good substitute.
