Emma Hardie Amazing Face Moringa Cleansing Balm

This was a product that I'd umm'd and aaah'd over for literally months in Space NK.  I kind of knew it was going to be good but I already had a skincare routine that was working for me and didn't want to disrupt it.  When I was fortunate enough to be sent the Emma Hardie Amazing Face Natural Lift and Sculpt Moringa Cleansing Balm* to try curiosity just sort of took over.

It contains sweet almond, moringa seed and grapeseed oils which are great for getting rid of makeup and improving radiance.  It also has sea fennel in it which is known as a bit of a miracle worker on open pores (music to my ears!)  It smells incredible, really herby and spa-like.  I rub a small amount of this all over my face, including my eyes, then warm up a hot flannel and remove. 

I've honestly never found anything as effective as this for removing my makeup.  It's also seriuously gentle and doesn't strip my skin or leave a film behind.  My skin is combination/dehydrated which meant that this was sort of a dream product as it really targeted all my areas of concern; hydration, texture and open pores.

The balm is coupled with a rough textured flannel which you are meant to use in a series of special moves designed at sculpting the face.  I've never quite got the hang of this, and to be honest I'm a little to lazy in the evening to bother. I'm more of a slap it on and scrub away type of gal!

It took me roughly a month to get through a mini tub of this.  So did I repurchase... No, I didn't.  It wasn't that I didn't want to, but at £34 I just didn't have the cash to part with!  I ended up repurchasing a trusty tube of Liz Earle with a promise to myself that next pay day I will definitely be heading into Space NK to get my Emma Hardie fix.  I'm so hooked that I've even held on to the empty tub just so I can have a sniff every now and then!
