Oil Of Youth...SK-II Facial Treatment Cleansing Oil

Having finished Shu Uemura's Anti-Oxi Skin Refining Cleansing Oil, and after a long absence from my makeup removal regime, I purchased an old friend, SK-II's Facial Treatment Cleansing Oil. It's been a while since I used this oil-based cleanser, but I remember it being a favorite during Winter.

The SK-II Facial Treatment Cleansing Oil is rich and silky, with a consistency that is not too thin nor thick. The cleanser removes the most, stubbornest, water-proof makeup, and impurities, effortlessly; it also deeply cleanses, and conditions, the skin without leaving any residue. The oil cleanser has a pleasant, Japanese floral (maybe rose) scent that helps to relax me. As with the Shu Uemura cleansing oils, the mechanics of the SK-II cleansing oil works in the same fashion; applying the product on dry skin and emulsifying when coming into contact with water.

This oil cleanser does wonders for my skin during Winter. My skin looks and feels clean, calm, soft, radiant, and absolutely wonderful!

SK-II Facial Treatment Cleansing Oil retails for 7,560 yen (8.4oz/250ml).

What are your thoughts on oil-based cleansers?

Looking gorgeous one lipstick at a time.

For the amount product and quality of the SK-II's Cleansing oil, I believe it's reasonably priced.

I have normal to dry skin, but oil-based cleansers really do wonders for all skin types. I'm glad your enjoying your results Lucy :)

Hello Beauty, I would love to help you with your Asian acquisitions. The THREE Cream Foundations are great. However, to better assist you (and if you don't mind me asking) what's your skin type?

Thank you so much...I truly appreciate your insight! I am looking for medium to full coverage and my skin type is normal and sensitive! I am generally a NARS Santa Fe/MAC NC 25 for reference. XOXO

The THREE Cream Foundation has a medium to full coverage. I would recommend shade 204 maybe 205 if you're going to be getting moe sun in the up coming months. If there's anything I can help you with, just ask :)
