How To Use It
The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser is really easy to use but it’s pretty important that you take the time to melt the product between your palms before you take it to your face.
You simply dispense the product into hands and then rub together to warm the balm allowing it to melt into an oil. It takes a while, maybe 20 to 30 seconds, but you suddenly feel it turn into an oil-like texture and then it’s ready to go on the face.
My Review
This is a really good simple cleanser that’s great for melting makeup and thoroughly cleansing your skin.
You do really need to melt it in your hands before you begin to use it. If you take it to the face before you have allowed the texture to transform, you will have to rub too much on your skin and no one wants to be doing that!
Once it has switched from balm to oil-like texture, you massage it really well into skin whilst it is dry to melt makeup and impurities. I think the longer you massage it into the face the better, then emulsify with a little water and rinse it away.
It emulsifies really easily and turns to a milk which rinses and doesn’t require a muslin or face cloth. This is key because some of us are exfoliating too much with cloths, when all we really need is a cleanse.
It leaves my skin super clean, smooth, soft, hydrated and glowy. It ticks all the boxes. You only need a small amount as it expands once it has transformed.
