When I remove makeup, it’s usually a multi-tasking event. I step in the shower, shampoo my hair, and then start the suds on my face. Today I did not go my usual route and instead stood at the sink for a trial run of Fresh’s Soy Face Cleanser.
The cleanser itself is a clear filmy gel that had a light cucumber scent which I noticed right away. My face was already wet from warm water and when I started to apply the cleanser with my fingers, it slid from under me and started to run down my face. I worked quickly to stop it from all falling into the sink and then worked on making some suds with it. It took about thirty seconds to get everything to a more normalized situation, and then I made sure to get every inch of my face, including my eyelids, even though I had not been wearing any makeup or lotions or creams prior to washing.
The suds did come off quickly with warm water and I didn’t have a filmy feeling, which I was worried about after initially touching the cleanser for the first time. After drying, my face did feel refreshed and clean and still feels that way an hour later (I still have not put on any lotion or creams for the day).
I did not realize that this cleanser is considered of best use for removing makeup and such until I read reviews by others. I will try it again next week with a full face of makeup. I’m interested in seeing if it easily takes off mascara, one of the biggest challenges out there.

I’ve been working a lot with my almost 2 yr old’s skin this week as he has the chicken pox.
Is caused me to look into how to keep him confortable with busting blisters. Gag me, right ?
The highest recommendation commonly over looked is, not to use products that would seal or not allow the blisters to breath.
We’ve been keeping away from Aloe and oils. The most common use while induring chicken pox is good old fashion Caladryl aka Calamine. Better refered to as “the pink stuff”.
A second runner up in keeping him content is Aveeno Skin Relif Bath Treatment. This product is 100% natural and not regular oatmeal you buy to bake a batch of cookies with. It’s Colloidal oatmeal, and although I do not understand the sceintific process of breaking down the oatmeal to the approperate stage. I do know my toddler is happy to soak in it twice a day.
The body is amazing to heal it’s self of viruses, even buy pushing the toxins out by the skin.
Here’s to hoping his healing continues !
