The skin around my eyes has always been super sensitive and prone to eczema. So, I have to be incredibly fussy about what I apply around that location and how I eliminate it. That stated, although I like the appearance of mascara, getting it off can be a discomfort– both literally and physically.
Typically, I’ll use a cleaning balm, then follow up with a gel cleanser. However recently, I was tired in every sense of the word and just had enough energy to wash my face once (stopped talking, do not judge me).
Anyhow, I decided to give e.l.f.’s Holy Hydration! Daily Cleanser a try, because it guaranteed to not only get rid of oil and impurities, however also makeup in one go. And since it’s instilled with both hyaluronic acid and ceramides, I figured it was worth offering a try given that possibilities were it wouldn’t set my skin off.
Lucky for me, I was right.
” For eczema-prone skin, the skin barrier is typically not as efficient at sealing in moisture and thus at greater risk of water loss through skin, leading to dry, flaky, dehydrated, and irritated skin,” explains Dr. Jenny Liu, board-certified skin specialist and ambassador for e.l.f. “A gentle cleanser like Holy Hydration! usages more gentle surfactants to cleanse, which minimizes the cruelty of cleansing. Active ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and peptides can help to relieve and buffer against inflammation from face cleaning.”
After my preliminary trial run of utilizing Holy Hydration! as a makeup eliminator, I’ve relied on it ever since to remove any mascara I have on. And I have yet to handle an eczema breakout.
Plus, with a formula devoid of phthalates, parabens, nonylphenol ethoxylates, triclosan, triclocarban, and hydroquinone, that is likewise vegan and cruelty-free, even the most significant skincare skeptic can feel comfortable providing this one a try.
Oh, and at only $6 a pop, can you blame me for being consumed? Definitely not in this economy.
