Fresh, clean skin with Garnier

The most important step in my skincare routine is cleansing. I require a lot from my cleansers even though I do not find the need to spend a fortune on a product that essentially will be going down the drain.

To my delight Garnier have two brilliant cleansers that I got to try. Best part is that I will be buying them with a smile on my face, as they go for ZAR60 a pop. Bargain I tell you.

First up is the Garnier Start Afresh Fresh Cleansing Lotion for normal to combination skin. I have been using this cleanser in the mornings. It is a lovely thick milk cleanser that gently cleanses my skin. My skin type is combination to oily and I wake up with my T-zone a bit oily during the hotter months. And yes, I sweat at night. This cleanser leaves my skin feeling clean and soft. It also has a lovely delicate scent that is not overpowering. I can’t really find fault with this cleanser. As a morning cleanser, I will continue to use this product. Please note that I can’t comment on its efficacy removing make-up. I never go to bed without washing my face. I just can’t.

I have been using the Garnier Shine Be Gone Fresh Clarifying Wash for normal to oily skins to do my second cleanse at the end of the day. This foaming cleanser is just as gentle as the cleansing lotion, whilst still very effective at removing oil, dirt and the last traces of make-up that the first cleanse did not remove. It does a very good job at removing eye make-up. My skin feels squeaky clean after use but it doesn’t feel stripped or tight. The only issue I have with this product is the packaging – the cleanser does not have a very thick consistency and seems to ‘run’ out of the tube; I have to be very careful when dispensing it into my hand and I have ended up using too much on quite a few occasions.

Both cleansers are free from parabens and suited for sensitive skins.

I highly recommend these Garnier cleansers as they are excellent quality at a very reasonable price.

Garnier cleansers are available at Pick ‘n Pay and Clicks stores.
