Honorable mention: Burt's Bees deep cleansing cream

Ok...so I left out this cleanser because it was in the shower and I forgot I even had it for a quick second.  This is my only favorite creamy thick cleanser. It feels so refreshing, and removes all makeup - but is especially great at removing eye makeup as far as cleansers go. Even though it is a creamy cleanser it does not clog pores and is great for all skin types, esp. combination skin.

The skin you live in...favorite facial cleansers

Lucky for you, and maybe not for me, I have combination skin. This means my cleansers range to accommodate oily to dry skin. These are my favorite 6 cleansers, yes 6 :) but they work all year round and depending on my skin or the weather, I have all my bases covered. 

1. Boscia 
Out of the brands mentioned, I am newly getting acquainted with Boscia, thanks to a Sephora sample of Detoxifying Black Cleanser that I adored. It warms to your skin, is non-irritating yet left my skin feeling clean and refreshed. I went ahead and purchased another cleanser, their Purifying Cleansing Gel, and am equally if not more impressed. The purifyng gel works great with my Clarasonic brush. Both cleansers work for all skin types but are especially great for combination skin. 




2. Burt's Bees Acne Solutions Gel Cleanser
I have tried a few Burt's Bees cleansers, but this one is my favorite. It's a super light, foaming cleanser that is great for oily skin because it contains salicylic acid. This also works great with the Clarasonic brush.





3. Jurlique Soothing Foaming Cleanser
This is an amazing creamy foaming cleanser for sensitive skin. I have the hardest time finding a sensitive skin cleanser because most of them tend to be very thick and leave a filmy residue. Jurlique made an amazing formula for this sensitive cleanser that rinses clean, my favorite among favorites. 




4. Neutrogena
Neutrogena is an old time favorite brand of mine, I don't think any girl hasn't tried their classic orange foaming cleanser and I was super excited when they introduced a natural skin line. My favorite of the line is definitely the Purifying Pore Scrub. It is super gentle and has a sudsing quality so it's a great dual purpose cleanser/exfoliating scrub. I use this 2-3 times per week on its own. I also really like the Cleansing + Makeup Remover, it's great to have to remove makeup and (hint hint) works super well if used w/Clarasonic brush.
