My friend introduced her favorite porefinist anti-shine fresh cleansing oil from Shu Uemura. I used three pumps to clean off my full coverage makeup and while I was gently massaging my face with the cleansing oil, I felt the little bumps on my face that I get from my regular oil build up in my pores come out!!! Not all of them came out, but it did remove a few effortlessly. I was quite impressed. I usually use facial exfoliators that have massage beads to remove as much build up as possible, but I was totally shocked when I felt the cleansing oil from Shu Uemura work its magic. I was told to use this porefinist cleansing oil only once a week.
The steps to using this cleansing oil:
- take 3 to 4 pumps of cleansing oil, spread on your hands
- gently spread cleansing oil over cheeks, nose, forehead, lips with circular motions, blend well with eye makeup by outward circular motions of your finger tips
- wet your hands, wet your face until cleansing oil turns milky
- rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, rinse off completely along the hair line, dry your face with a clean towel
There are six cleansing oils for all skin needs, the one I tested was for pore refining. The porefinist anti-shine fresh cleansing oil is ideal for normal to oily skin types and acne-prone skin. When I finished washing my face, I still felt a little oil on my face, but when I looked into the mirror, there was no visible oil shine. It just felt super smooth, I've never experienced the perfect face cleanser, but I'm assuming it feels something like this. I was so use to the routine of buying cleansers that overly stripped the oil from my face, I literally felt it squeaky clean afterwards, and most of the time I'd see dry patches immediately after a face wash. But shortly after my face would feel super stiff and sticky with oil again. I was told that because I stripped all my natural oils away from my face, my sebaceous glands had to go on overdrive to correct the lack of oil. With Shu Uemura's cleansing oil, it felt smooth, like there was a thin layer of protection, I did feel refreshed. I was skeptical at first, even after the surprising pore refining experience, because of the lack of "squeaky clean" feel after the face wash. But I'm totally sold now, because hours later my face still felt smooth, and there was no additional oil build up. I guess my face was happy!
