The Body Shop: Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter Review

1:10:00 PM

Hello Chicsters!

So you remember my last The Body Shop post featuring Virgin Mojito Body Butter where I had promised you that there will be some more reviews coming your way soon so here I am. Today I will be reviewing for you one of the best cleansing balms I have tested so far. I had heard a lot about this product and couldn't wait to try it when The Body Shop finally launched this product in India. Also, I was glad that I would have to spend way less than if I would have gone for the Clinique cleansing balm or the Emma Hardie one. Even though I did not need a makeup cleanser I went ahead and got it as a backup. It wasn't until recently that I started using it and boy am I super happy with this product. Keep reading on to know what is it about this product that has got me all head over heels for it...

Results:

The product is housed in a lightweight tin tub with a screw top lid making the packaging of the product travel friendly.
The word camomile makes me think of a good cup of camomile tea and an interesting book to go along with it. This product has a refreshingly calming camomile scent to it. For people who are sensitive to scents you need not worry as the scent of this product is too light and wasn't even noticeable to me the first time I used it.
The product has the texture of solid butter cream. I like to take a pea size of the product and lightly rub it in between my palms to warm the solid balm before massaging it onto my face. The product starts to melt almost immediately and turns into thick cleansing oil.
I know this may not be the ideal way of using this product but I prefer massaging it on to my skin and then when it starts to get oily I remove it off with a cotton pad and then rinse my face with a mild face wash.
On application, within a couple of seconds you can see the product melts the makeup and all the impurities. It gently gets rid of every last trace of stubborn waterproof makeup leaving the skin clean and well moisturised. The product is mild and will probably suit sensitive skin too as it did not irritate my skin or even sting my eyes.
Being a cleansing butter this product is much more moisturising than any cleansing oil or cleansing water. I have a combination skin and the product works perfectly well for my skin however, I am not so sure if it would suit the beauties who have an oily skin type.

Overall Verdict: I absolutely loved this product and will prefer it any day compared any cleansing lotions or cleansing water. If you have not tried any cleansing butters yet then I would recommend you to get one today.
