theREVIEW Bobbi Brown

It’s now more than ever that we need to use truly hydrating products in our beauty regimes – this cold snap is enough to send anyone’s skin into flakey territory! What most of us don’t realize is that when it comes to happy, nourished skin it’s not just about applying a thick moisturizer – our cleanser is also incredibly important. For those without an oily skin, use a rich, cream cleanser – save the lighter gel formulations for more humid seasons.

I’ve been using Bobbi Brown Hydrating Rich Cream Cleanser, $70, lately and have loved the results – a cleansed skin with no irritation, my skin feels soft (not squeaky clean) and all traces of makeup (except eye) has gone. There’s no chance of getting sore eyes either. It owes its rich hydration to Avocado Butter, and as the name suggests, it is thick and creamy with just a whisper of a fresh citrus scent. Massage over a wet face, and then remove with warm water. Some nights I don’t even apply a night cream. For me, with so many products at my finger tips, the fact that this is nearly used up and I’m desperately squeezing more out, is testament to how much I’ve loved using it.
