Desert Essence Face Wash
Advantages The right bit of moisturizing, and astringient qualities alike
Disadvantages expensive -around$6- for 4fl.oz, but it lasts....
I've been using this product now for about one year, and it's my steadfast face 'soap'. It's full name is: Thoroughly Clean FACE WASH with Tea Tree Oil and Awapuhi. The company name is actually Desert Essence. Anyway, I discovered it after finding my other, different product wasn't doing the trick anymore. For those of us who have combination skin, but, maybe a little oily at times, and have drier patches too - this is great. Do you ever have the immunity problem? Like when you wash your face with the same product, and, after a while it just doesn't work anymore? Like your skin has built up an immunity? This product will not do that. It refreshes every time. It's excellent in winter, because Tea Tree Oil is, in fact, an 'oil' - but it's also very refreshing in summer months when you need a truly refreshing, cleansed feeling,- tea tree oil is used widely as an anteseptic, so it has those properties as well. The ingredients are: Castile soap,Olive oil,Coconut oil,tea tree oil,extracts of matricaria, Goldenseal, Awapuhi(Hawaiian White Ginger), Bladderwrack, Essential Oil of Palmarosa, Petitgrain, Lavandine Super & Peppermint Oil.
SO, it seems like alot of 'oils', don't let this fool you, the tea tree oil in this works almost like a rubbing alcohol, but doesn't dry, or irritate the skin the way that harsh stuff would/could/does.
I give it a thumbs up, especially if you are at the point to try something new. (oh- and no animal ingredients. bonus in my book)
