philosophy - purity made simple - one-step facial cleanser
philosophy: purity is natural. we come into this world with all the right instincts. we are innocent, and therefore perceive things as they should be, rather than how they are. our conscience is clear, our hands clean, and the world at large is truly beautiful. it is at this time we feel most blessed. to begin feeling young again, we must begin with the most basic step of all, the daily ritual of cleansing.
purity made simple is a liquid crystal cleansing emulsion that removes makeup, dirt, oil and debris in one step. purity made simple was created because it was our feeling that most cleansers were not getting the skin clean enough. furthermore, we do not believe you need a makeup remover and a toner to complete the cleansing process. purity made simple was formulated to emulsify and dissolve dirt, imbedded debris, and makeup rather than creating a lot of foam without a lot of clean.
The only thing I would ammend about this product is that I wish it was paraben-free since there's all this buzz about parabens [perservatives] being "sooooo" bad for you. But until they come out with a version that doesn't contain these perservatives, there are bigger things in life to work about. I still give this product two big thumbs up. No one product works for everyone, but this works well for me - someone with combination skin, no acne, and chronic, unpredictable skin issues [eczema, dermatitis, etc.].
Another good product to try is Boscia cleansing gel, which IS paraben-free and works awesome, but it's almost twice the price, ounce for ounce.
it's like face cream, cleanser and make-up remover packed in a silky lotion. it cleans everything in one step without being harsh, and leaves even dry/sensitive skin feeling soft, but not greasy.
get the largest size you can afford -- once you try it (a) you won't ever want to run out and (b) i bet you'll want to share a good thing, too.
