This weekend we'll be in London and that means stocking up on all things British (and English speaking like magazines and books) - visiting haunts like Space NK, Neal's Yard Remedies, and Marks&Spencers for the all-essential Marmite. Yes, I am an American that LOVES Marmite!
One of the things on my "must buy" list is the facial cleanser that I swear by. I grew up watching my mother schmear her face with a buttery cold cream that made her look like something out of a horror movie when she had it on her face, but once she wiped it off - pure, soft and clean skin with not a trace of makeup. If you've ever looked at the ingredients in these cold creams, usually the first ingredient (which means that it consists mostly of this) is Mineral Oil. As you well know, that is a no-no in the eco beauty world, so I thought - there has to be an alternative, right? Yes, Ren No.1 Purity Cleansing Balm. It works the same as a cold cream cleanser (you apply it to dry skin then wipe off with the cloth that's included) but with all natural ingredients. I used to think all cleansers were created equal until I tried this one, as it moisturizes, removes all traces of makeup and dirt, and leaves my skin calm and soft. Even though it's a tad expensive, you use such a little amount each time that one large pot has lasted me months......just about enough time between my trips to London conveniently!
