The Internet has no shortage of raving reviews for the Emma Hardie Amazing Face lift and Sculpt Moringa Cleansing Balm. It has taken the beauty world by storm soo I felt that I definitely needed to see what all the hype was about and boy am I glad I did!
I had never used a solid based
cleansing balm before and was a little sceptical about the 'magical' effects
especially as this product comes in at
around £34 which in my opinion is a little steep for a daily cleanser. But I
was determined to find a good deal, so I scowered the internet for the cheapest
price and found that most sites marketed the product for around £33 with the
option to buy the exfoliating face towels separately for around £10. I wasn't prepared
to buy the cloth separately as any face towel would do the same job, luckily I
came across the QVC website (which I will link below) they were selling the
cleansing balm for £34 including Emma Hardie Amazing Face Dual Action professional
Cleansing Cloths. Score! I was so pleased to find a retailer that included the
cloth! having said this, if you can't find an inclusive deal I wouldn't pay the
extra amount for the cloth as Primark do a very good dupe for a £1 so your
better off picking up one or two of those.

The balm
itself is a pleasure to use it smells wonderful (almost like molton brown original body lotion) and feels so luxurious on the skin. The
instructions suggest that you need to take a small amount into the palm of your
hand and mix in some water to make a paste like consistency I don't know if its
the luxurious effect of the balm or just me being greedy but I tend to have to use
a little more than is recommended to really achieve great results. I also like
to keep the balm on for a couple of minutes. What I tend to do is, apply the
paste all over my face and neck then I'll set about brushing my teeth and
changing into my pyjamas then after a few minutes I'll go back and wash the
cleanser off. I find this gives time to really soften the skin and allow the
balm to penetrate clogged pores. Then I'll use the face towel to remove the
balm which eliminates pretty much all traces of makeup and face oils that have
accumulated throughout the course of the day along with it. Literally my makeup
will simply slide off, including WATERPROOF yes waterproof eye makeup it really
is such a treat!
If you
have oily skin I don't think you need moisturiser after using the balm,
personally I have combination skin so I usually follow it up with a little
moisturiser especially around my eyes and the tops of my cheeks as these tend
to be my most driest areas. The Emma Hardie team recommend the use of the
cleansing balm twice a day but personally I felt this is too much, because in
the morning I don't have much time to cleanse so I'm more of a face wash kinda
gal but before bed this is super perfect. I actually look forward to removing
my makeup with this and love the way my skin glows afterwards. I've been using
this product for about a month now and I haven't noticed any breakouts other
then the usual hormonal ones which I don't think any product could hinder! I
don't get many breakouts but I do have pretty sensitive skin and touch wood
this product has been very kind to me so if like me you have sensitive skin I
would definitely recommend this cleansing balm as a regular luxurious treat!
Peak -
The clean and glowy look and feel of
your skin after using the product.
Pit - The
price and the fact that you have to use a fair bit to get the ultimate polished
look.

ReplyDeleteI especially love the face cloth. It remains its quality even though I have washed them multiple times at different temperatures (30, 40 and 60 degree). Check my takes on the EH clothes here
