The Glam Green Girl: A review by Lipgloss Kisses

Esse Review by Chicara from Lipgloss Kisses

Recently I asked the wonderful Chicara from Lipgloss Kisses to write a review for me on a Glam and Green product for The Glam Green Girl. I'm a dedicated fan of her blog and am so excited to feature her on mine - here's her review of the Esse Gel Cleanser:

There are so many things to love about the organic brand Esse. They support Fair Trade in Africa and they're animal cruelty free. But, not only that, all Esse products are100% preservative free, biodegradable and free of parabens, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrance and synthetic colourants. All their goodies are heavily-scented and just feel incredibly natural on your skin. One of my favourite products from Esse is their Gel Cleanser. I love the idea of using organic products - natural, eco-friendly ingredients are better for your skin and the environment.

The best thing about this cleanser is that it has a pump dispenser. This way you get just enough product and you don't waste anything. It's also so much easier to handle if you're in the shower or your hands are wet. So, the next best thing about this cleanser is the scent. Some might find it overpowering, but to me it smells so fresh and natural - a strong mixture of peppermint and spearmint. Your face is left feeling tingly and refreshed and smelling delicious after using it. This cleanser is suitable for all skin types and can be used on sensitive, acne-prone skins as well. So besides the minty ingredients, this cleanser also contains some fabulous goodies that are really good for your skin. Rooibos Extract, Marula Seed Oil, Honeybush Leaf Extract, Caraway Leaf Oil, and Rosemary Leaf Oil.

The first thing I look for in a cleanser is how good it is at removing makeup. I've tried so many expensive cleansers that are all useless - no foaming and no cleansing. But what I love about this cleanser is that it foams up nicely and feels extremely gentle on my skin while still being highly effective. The first time I used this I didn't think it would do much as it felt so light and gentle on my skin. I was amazed at what a great job it did. My face feels incredibly clean, refreshed and hydrated after using this product. This cleansers main aim is to help to improve micro-circulation which aids in the elimination of toxins. I absolutely love how my skin feels after using this - so soft and clean.
