Face Cleansers

I use Clinique face wash as I do like stuff you can rinse off.

The M and S Formula products are fabulous. I do prefer wash off cleanser but they do balms and other types. I have combination skin prone to redness. We don't have a local M and S so I stop up when near to one or look online.

Simple at moment but I use bamboo cloth to wipe clean my face.

Boots everyday cleansing wipes. Blue packet. Cheap and cheerful they do the job. They do say for sensitive skin but there are other ones in the range. Then a good rub with just a flannel and cold water in the morning. I save my money for No 7 moisturiser cream.

I know from similar OPs that Ponds Cold Cream is still a firm favourite cleanser for many GNs. I like Nivea micellar water for daily use, but once a week, do a double cleanse with Elemis ProCollagen Cleansing Balm, but that’s a wash off product.

I use NUXE. It's in a pink bottle.
Anything else I find too astringent and shrinks my skin, whereas NUXE is soft and gentle. It does the job well for me.

I tried Cien cleansing milk from Lidl and it was very good, though I used it with a hot cloth to rinse off. But my go-to favourite is always Clean+Clear for sensitive skin used with good sized cotton face pads to clean my skin as I wipe. No rinsing needed. I have greasy skin, so it suits me, but others may find it too harsh. If you don’t like actually washing your face with water, you could try a piece of muslin (such as they sell for babies nowadays) soaked in warm water and wrung dry to wipe off a creamy cleanser, such as the Cien one I mentioned.

Soap and water

Oh me too Bluebell, I really like the pretty floral wrapped ones, thought I was the only one!

Hi Bellah. I can recommend Nivea 2-1 milk and toner. It's really soothing and removes all make-up efficiently. I belive Joan Collins uses it too

Thanks ladies very helpful suggestions. I remember Ponds from years ago I take it is still readily available I haven't really been looking but can't recall seeing it on the shelves in Boots or Super drug type places.

I used to love Anne French cleansing milk. So refreshing, too.

Witch Hazel for me

Baby lotion - cheap and mild - and rinse off with water...

I use Ponds Cold Cream - as did my mother who was an actress and a dancer and she used it a lot - and its certainly kept my skin nice.

Dove soap, warm water and a big soft facecloth does the job for me.

Bellah, supermarkets sell large pots of Astral and Nivea cold cream, as Ponds substitutes.

I used Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish for over 20-years but a couple of years ago a price hike priced me out of their market.

Since then I have purchased L'Oreal Age Perfect Cleansing milk from Amazon. £2:28. Great. Removes make-up perfectly. Bottle lasts 3-4 weeks.

Saving loads of £s and skin just as good.

Recommended.

Rosewater or a wipe.

I use Simple moisturising facial wash. Does the job. Have used Liz Earle and M & S facial wash with cloths, Simple just as good without all the fuss.

Just a face flannel in warm water. Never soap. Then Nivea Soft for moisturiser.
Last year, I was using Estee Lauder La Mer, having won a pot in a competition. But I don't think it made any difference to my aged face.

Look fabulous forever makeup remover is good (and a little goes a long way) for even stubborn mascara. , use on cotton wool pad then wash face with a warm flannel.

I use Beauty Pie cleanser - I just love it! But you need to subscribe to Beauty Pie each year, but its well worth it as you get fabulous products at a very reasonable price (much more expensive if you don't subscribe!). It is a mild cleanser, which does need washing off, but v. easy to use and gentle on the skin.

I use Tropic but it’s a rinse off. There’s not much agrees with my skin but I find Tropic does.
