Skin care brands like Curology and Riversol were founded by dermatologists, while Kylie Skin and Fenty Skin are the namesake brands of celebrities. Burt’s Bees doesn’t fall into either of these categories. Rather, this brand’s unique story began with the union of an artist and a beekeeper. According to Dr. Julie Russak, if you are relying on just a cleanser to remove all the gunk from the day, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. “Oils are much gentler and better at removing makeupthan soaps,” says Dr. Russak. “If you are just using a soap, you are drying the skin out, changing the skin’s pHand microbiome, which can cause a domino effect of problems.” Burt’s Bees Cleansing Oil is the most wondrous cleansing oil I have ever tried. It comes in a wonderful pump bottle and is so easy to use, just pump twice, then rub the oil between your hands and then apply to your face, Makeup dissolves instantly and all forms of makeup, from foundation to eyeliner and mascara, Infact I am amazed at how easily and effortlessly my mascara comes off, it simply wipes away from my lashes. The second oil cleansing method (popular in K-beauty routines) involves doing the first method and following it up with a second cleanse — also known as double-cleansing. This ensures all of the oil from the first cleanse has been removed. Use a gentle and mild non-oil cleanser for your second cleanse. Gently pat your skin dry and continue with the rest of your skincare routine. Adding good oils to your skin also helps counter your skin’s sebum (oil). When your skin is stripped of its natural oils, it produces more to compensate for the loss. How to Choose the Best Oil-Based Cleanser

Normal or Sensitive: If your skin is sensitive or normal, calming and soothing oils like camellia seed, almond, and rosemary are recommended to prevent irritation. In general, you should also avoid any sensitizing fragrances if you have sensitive skin.This Burt’s Bees face wash is said to gently remove dirt, oil, and makeup without causing redness or irritation. One of the key ingredients in this cleanser is Quillaja Saponaria (soap bark) extract, which functions as an alternative to synthetic surfactants. On mixing with water the oil becomes slightly milky in texture which again is easy to run over the skin. The only problem is that almost every Burt’s Bees review for this product mentions how the can is nearly impossible to open. One reviewer shares, “Used once tried several times to reopen and it’s just not possible!” and a similar review says, “Ridiculously hard to open. Can’t even use the product anymore.” I love that this cleansing oil removes the need to use makeup wipes or another harsh makeup remover. Using this oil, I combine removing makeup and cleansing in one easy step. It saves time and energy, and leaves my skin feeling soft and refreshed.

With cleansed hands, apply the oil to dry skin and massage it in circular motions all over your face for a minute or two. Next, use a clean, warm, and wet washcloth to remove the oil, makeup, and other impurities gently. Gently pat your skin dry and continue with the rest of your skincare routine.

The flavonoid chrysin relieves inflammation and also has antimicrobial and regenerative effects. While some people may enjoy double cleansing morning and night, Dr. Russak and Dr. Mariwalla agree it’s ideal before bed to remove all the pollution that has been piling up. “I think this is a good thing to do in the summer if you are using mineral sunscreen since those are often difficult to remove and completely cleanse off the skin,” says Dr. Mariwalla.

Plus, the lemon oil in this cream not only provides a refreshingly clean scent, it also has cleansing and astringent properties that help to cut through oil and dirt. Burt's Bees Cleansing Oil is a 100% natural blend of coconut oil and argan oil that is said to keep skin soft and nourished, while gently dissolving dirt and makeup without leaving any oily residue behind. Since oil absorbs oil, these ingredients can effectively remove excess oil, dirt, and other impurities from the skin and leave it clean. Furthermore, both oils are rich in beneficial fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants that restore, nourish, and protect the skin.\n\nCoconut oil is composed of many different types of fatty acids, primarily lauric acid, myristic acid, caprylic acid, and capric acid. Once applied to the skin, these fatty acids help to replenish the skin’s natural barrier function. A strong, intact barrier helps to prevent water loss, therefore keeping the skin hydrated and soft. The lauric acid in coconut oil exerts antimicrobial properties, which can help clear and prevent acne. Coconut oil is also rich in vitamin E, a lipid soluble antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals. Argan oil also contains several beneficial fatty acids that promote skin health, including oleic acid, linoleic acid, palmitic acid, and stearic acid. Oleic acid is an omega-9 monounsaturated fatty acid that functions as a penetration enhancer by disturbing the skin barrier. However, the rest of the fatty acids found in argan oil work to restore the skin’s barrier function. Overall, Burt's Bees Cleansing Oil contains two hydrating and replenishing ingredients that may actually be more effective and less irritating than a traditional cleanser.Burt's Bees Cleansing Oil is a 100% natural blend of coconut oil and argan oil that is said to keep skin soft and nourished, while gently dissolving dirt and makeup without leaving any oily residue behind.

Burt Shavitz and Roxanne Quimby created Burt’s Bees in the wild of Maine, USA in the early 1980s after leaving their hectic city lives to be at one with nature. Together, they got friendly with some bees and started to jar up their beeswax. Before you knew it, their beeswax was sold worldwide – in lip balms, hand creams and more. Burt & Roxanne’s mission was clear: to make accessible skin care products, using only the best, natural ingredients that are good for your skin. It may sound counterintuitive—using oil to clean your skin—but starting your cleansing routine with oil is one of the best ways to remove makeup, sunscreen, and sweat. “Using a cleansing oil will break down and remove your makeup and excess dirt and oil from the day, allowing your everyday cleanser to better do its job—which should target specific skin concerns like acne or dryness,” says Dr. Mariwalla. Do you hate when hand creams promise to moisturize your skin, but instead they don’t absorb and just leave your hands feeling greasy? We do, too. Fortunately, this isn’t the case for Burt’s Bees Hand Salve.
