LUMITY 4-in-1 Cleansing Balm

Cleansing is my favourite part of skincare and the one thing I look forward to doing most as part of my routine.  There is nothing quite like taking the whole day off your face, sitting down and relaxing for an evening.  The latest cleanser to my stash comes from Lumity with this 4-in1 Cleansing Balm (£55 for 100ml).

I love that this is an everything you need all in one pot cleanser, designed to give you everything you need without having to use multiple products. With that in mind, this cleanser is a gentle cleanser, make-up remover, exfoliator and it can be as a masque treatment too. 

I absolutely love the texture of this cleanser and it has quite a unique formula which works to dissolve impurities, pollutants and make-up. 100% natural, this cleanser features no harsh chemicals which could disrupt the skin's balance. It contains activated bamboo charcoal, biodegradable jojoba beads, green tea extract, camellia seed oil and an aromatherapy blend of essential oils which includes Wild Mint, Juniper Berry, Grapefruit and Lemongrass.

To use, the advice is to massage a grape sized scoop of the Lumity 4-in-1 Cleanse on to dry skin. As it is applied, you might feel a gentle warming effect as the active ingredients get to work to draw out impurities, it is similar to the feeling you get from Sanctuary Spa 5 minute Charcoal Thermal Mask with regards to the warming sensation, which is not uncomfortable. One applied, there is the option to rinse off with warm water or it can be left on for up to 30 minutes for a deeply hydrating, exfoliating and clarifiying masque treatment. 

Key Benefits

• 100% natural – no harsh chemicals to disrupt the skin's balance and natural protective barrier
• Boosts moisture for supple, smoother skin
• Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Promotes elasticity, radiance and firmness
• Reinforces the skin's natural barrier to maintain perfect hydration and protection against environmental aggressors 
• Optimum cleansing properties to leave skin feeling clear, smooth and firm, without the tightness or drying effects of other cleansers
• Gently exfoliates to stimulate and renew the skin
• Supports the healthiest, most balanced and youthful condition of the skin

I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another pot of this cleanser when this one finally runs out, I love how it feels on my skin, I like the slight warming feeling, I like that it has a 4-in-1 use and it can be used twice daily as part of a morning and night skincare routine.

The Lumity with this 4-in1 Cleansing Balm is priced at £55 for 100ml from Cult Beauty.

Murad Prebiotic 4-in-1 MultiCleanser

I am a huge fan of Dr Murad and his skincare products and it is fair to say that, whilst I am incredibly lucky to receive some amazing products, I do also buy my own. This Murad Prebiotic 4-in-1 Cleanser (£38) is a product I purchased, having first received it as part of a PR package because I just adore it.

This Prebiotic 4-In-1 Multi Cleanser is described as being a must-try gel-to-oil, make up-melting cleanser and being a bit of a multi-tasking product, not only does it remove excess oil, makeup, dirt, grime and anything else in its path, it also nourishes skin with a blend of prebiotics to balance the skin’s microbiome for healthier-looking skin.

This 4-in-1, non-drying formula features an ultra-cleansing peptide to melt makeup, dirt and excess oil, while moisturising emollients deeply hydrate. The three ingredients that are worthy of a mention are:

• Hemisqualane - Plant-based (from sugar cane) emollient that effectively dissolves eye, lip and face makeup (including waterproof) as it nourishes the skin.
• Cyclic Peptide - Said to be 300 times more efficient than traditional surfactants, delivering high-efficiency cleansing with low irritation. Traps oil and debris to be more easily rinsed from the skin without stripping natural facial oils.
• Prebiotic Powder - Work to nourish good bacteria to promote a healthy balance.

Suitable for all skin types, what I love is just how gentle yet effective this cleanser is. I make no secret that the favourite part of my skincare routine is cleansing, there is something quite relaxing and calming about completing this stage.

This cleanser can be used as part of your morning or evening routine and you only need 1-2 pumps at any one time. Designed to be used on wet or dry skin, for me it is an evening cleanser and part of my double cleansing routine. Non-drying or stripping of the skin, it doesn't irritate or cause breakouts, what it does is thoroughly cleanse your skin to leave it feeling super clean, feeling fresh and best of all, it is just a delight to use.

Priced around £38 it is available from Cult Beauty*, John Lewis*, Lookfantastic* and of course Murad* themselves.
