Soap & Glory - The Ultimelt

So, here it is; the first review in my hot cloth cleanser 'face-off!' And that is exactly what I want from a cleanser; I want it to effectively remove all of my make-up and enrich my skin with goodness so that it feels utterly clean and revitalised after a long day at school! 
  I tried to only review products that were under £10. This is priced right on my limit but I did buy it when it was on offer and I have noticed that Soap & Glory are often on offer in Boots (that was my justification!!!). You get 100ml of product which is not a great amount for the price. It comes in a tube like toothpaste which is not ideal. I would much prefer a pump as it would stop me from using too much! It recommends that you use a 'grape-sized splodge' and I would say that if you followed these directions, it would not last very long (assuming you use it morning and evening).However, I definitely don't think that you need to use that much.
 

I would say that a blueberry sized amount would be plenty as it glides on smoothly and spreads well all over the face. It comes with a muslin cloth which gently but effectively exfoliates. It is a really rich, thick consistency which feels amazing on the skin. It smells very natural and relaxing with hints of essential oils. This, accompanied with the silky smooth texture, makes it a pleasure to use.
 
It did not sting my eyes however I would say that my face did feel a bit hot and sensitive after I had used it. It does say on the box that the essential oils in the ingredients 'may cause irritation on extremely sensitive skin'. It may be that I was too rough with the muslin cloth but it did not irritate my skin and does not put me off using it. It is paraben free which gets a big thumbs up from me! It claims to give you a 'soft, smooth, radiantly fresh clean face' which I would say is definitely true. It also says that it's 'deep purifying'. I think that I do see a difference in my skin but I am unconvinced on how effective it is for drawing out impurities. I think that it does improve the appearance of my skin and I would recommend that you leave it on for 2 minutes, as directed, to make the most of it and give it the best chance!!!
I hope this helped and look out for post number two in the hot cloth cleanser 'face-off!'
