The greyish colour of the bottle of our face cleanser is owing to the fact that it's made from recycled plastic Once upon a time, not so long ago, ‘oil’ was a dirty word in the skincare universe. After all, isn’t the goal to get rid of the grease on your skin, not add more? But as we started to wise up, and the skincare market took a cue from other countries (hello, Korea), oils became the new hot thing, particularly when it came to cleansing—and for good reason. It depends on the formulation. If you have oily skin or are prone to congestion, Dr Phillips advises against using cleansing oils composed of a single oil blend without surfactants or emulsifiers as they’re more likely to clog pores. Instead, try ones that contain ingredients, such as peppermint or tea tree oil for a more clarifying cleanse.

Get all the ahh of the spa without leaving the comfort of home with a cleansing oil mini massage. Rather than rinsing the oil away as soon as you’ve cleansed, spend a bit more time massaging it into skin in small, circular motions to dislodge grime and give your skin a feel-good glow. Like attracts like, as they say. "Oils are lipophilic, which means they are naturally attracted to other oils, such as the sebum our skin produces and the oil within skincare and make-up products," says Dr Phillips. "The oil in the cleanser helps dissolve natural and external oils, while softening the skin and providing a gentle but deep cleanse."

The evidence that RP is still an effective anti-aging ingredient is not very strong, in fact, it's weak.

Oil cleansers are gentle and less likely to cause dryness and irritation when compared to water-based cleansers, such as foams, gels and creams," says Dr Phillips. "They respect the hydrolipidic barrier of the skin, which is vital for retention of moisture." Nourishing oils are recommended for dry skin," says Dr Phillips. "Shea, argan or camellia oils work to help keep the skin hydrated throughout the day by delivering a healthy dose of moisture across the skin’s surface. Using tea tree oil is not recommended as this can exacerbate dryness." Contrary to your usual face washing ritual, cleansing oil goes straight from dry hands to a dry face. Go easy!

So, while oil-based cleansers tend to be more gentle, if you want a more thorough clean, you can use oil and water-based cleansers together, creating the ultimate ‘clean team’ when it comes to sloughing off signs of the day. "Double cleansing, a practice popularised in Korea, involves using an oil cleanser to break down make-up and oil-based products, before using a water-based cleanser to remove sweat and residual dirt," says Dr Phillips. As an extra treat, give your cleansing oil a helping hand by removing it with a warm, damp, super-soft face cloth. It’ll help whisk away any last traces of oil, will make sure you don’t miss any pesky make-up remains, plus it feels lovely when you have a few extra minutes to spend on your cleanse. Cleansing oils are also great for sensitive and drier skin types, as they don't strip your skin barrier of any moisture or natural oils.

There's no tugging or scrubbing needed and they also make for the best slippery surface for you to indulge in an evening facial massage.
