In 2014 I attended the launch of Sorbet’s skincare line and the Sorbet Pore Your Heart Out Facial Cleanser caught my eye. I love gadgets and I finally treated myself to one 3 weeks ago. And I’m so glad I did.

Sorbet Pore Your Heart Out Facial Cleanser Review

I love facial cleansers. The Foreo Luna is spectacular, but I also like a brush with bristles. The other one I had (it has seen better days) had a rotating silicone brush head that I loved.

The Sorbet Pore Your Heart Out Facial Cleanser sports quite a few features that convinced me to buy it (it didn’t take much though) …

Sorbet Pore Your Heart Out Facial Cleanser Brushes

Now for the most important bit… the brush heads.

The cleanser comes with 3 brush heads (from left to right):

The Exfoliating Brush, the Sensitive Silicone Brush and the Daily Cleansing Brush.

I’m not sure who was in charge of deciding on the purpose of each brush, but I don’t agree with them at all.

I prefer to use the Sensitive Silicone Brush for every day cleansing. Daily cleansing with a brush can irritate your skin, so this one is most definitely the one for every day.

The Daily Cleansing Brush is way too harsh for use every day. I also find it to harsh for exfoliation. If you use the cleansing brush every day anyway, there is not much need for additional exfoliation. I threw mine in the bin.

The Exfoliating Brush is lovely and I use it once or twice a week to deep clean my pores. The bristles is cut to different lengths and even though they are very soft, they give a really good deep cleanse. You can also use this brush every day as it’s a lot gentler on your skin than the Daily Brush.

The best part about these brushes… replacements cost only R50!!

Another issue I have is the storage function of the stand. You can store two brush heads in the stand and that’s great, but one of them needs to be the silicone head. That doesn’t help me much as I use the silicone brush head most often.

The brush is very well priced at R330 and I don’t think you’ll get quality like this at a better price. I bought mine at Clicks just before their most recent beauty fair and I lost out on a 20% discount. Keep an eye out for their awesome sales!

This brush was one of my best buys in a long time!

Let me know if you tried the Sorbet Pore Your Heart Out Facial Cleanser. I’d love to know what you think!

Set imaginations free with Barbie Dreamtopia

Imaginative play is crucial to the cognitive, emotional, social and physical growth and development of young children. In other words, children make sense of the world around them through imaginative play. When they pretend to be a doctor, they process their anxiety about going to the doctor. When they play ‘teacher teacher’, they give themselves permission to stand up and be heard. When they make believe that they are an adult, they experiment with authority. When they imagine they are an astronaut, they allow themselves to dream big. And when they enter the magical world of Barbie Dreamtopia, and fantasize about being a fairy, or a mermaid, or a princess, they escape the boundaries of everyday life, and set their imagination free.

This is a world in which anything is possible: breathing underwater, flying through the air, talking to animals and snacking on clouds.
