If like me, you are always on the look out for the perfect cleanser to battle the effects of winter then look no further. Nars Purifying Foam Cleanser is now my go to product to wash away the day. The cleanser activates by rubbing between the fingers creating the foam. Lightweight and beautiful smelling, the cleanser gently exfoliates away any dead skin whilst cleansing impurities. The Wild Rose and Peony extracts are gentle on the skin. Even though the product is fragranced, the natural extracts make it gentle on the skin, unlike chemical fragrances. Because I have sensitive skin I was a bit cautious of using the cleanser as it is fragranced however no irritation occurred. Although my skin did become quite dry around the nose area after a few days of using the cleanser daily, which is quite surprising as the 'Non-Comedogenic' quality should not strip the skin of its natural oils. Therefore I just use the cleanser over my t-zone to reduce the area of shine. The result of cleansing the face is a squeaky clean finish, quite literally! I am so impressed with this product, how well it cleanses and the finish it gives to the skin, especially in these harsh winter months. The cleanser sells at £21.00, which is definitely more than what I would normally spend on a cleanser. This was to be expected though as Nars is a high end brand. Surprisingly though, you only need a small amount of product on the end of your fingers as a little bit goes a long way. Therefore I think that the purifying cleanser is definitely worth the money and should last a long time, or at least until these winter months are over!
