Earlier this summer I was running low on face wash. I wanted to try something new and change it up for fall and winter. I had been hearing so many people rave about cleansing balms and was curious to give them a try. I started doing some research on which cleansing balm to try out. It seems as though they are more common in England than in the U.S. I don't know if I have a case of the grass being greener on the other side, but it seems like the U.K. has so many amazing skincare products! After reading several other bloggers recommend the Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel, including Caroline Hirons, Amelia Liana, and Vivianna I investigated how to get it stateside. I found it on Beauty Bay on sale for $40 (originally $48) and with free shipping to the U.S. I took these things as a sign and promptly ordered it. The free international shipping said it would take 7-10 after it shipped, which I thought to be reasonable. Sadly it took 3 weeks to arrive, and the last of my former cleanser was long gone before then. There I was refusing to but another cleanser because I had just purchased a fairly expensive one and it was on its way, I was forced to turn to using my boyfriend's face wash. The breakout that followed was not pretty and I was quite anxious for this face wash to come so I could get my skin back on track. I am happy to report it was all worth the wait!
