Philosophy Purity Made Simple

Hello Splendicity readers! I’m Star and I’m the current blogger for the Handbags and Gifts section for this here amazing portal. What am I doing here, you ask? Well as of now, I’m co-blogging with Rachel for the Skin Care category too! I’m quite excited and I promise to do my best to bring you the creme de la creme in skincare products and information.

As my first official post for Splendicity’s Skin Care category, I wanted to begin by showing you the skincare product I absolutely love and highly recommend to all.

I’ve tried quite a few different facial cleansers and make-up removers over the years and Philosophy’s Purity Made Simple cleanser is far and away the best product I’ve ever used. My time is precious and this one-step cleanser cuts my nightly routine to 5 minutes, tops!

Here is what it says on the bottle:

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.

I use Philosophy’s Purity Made Simple every night to take off all the make-up, grime and oil. It leaves my skin feeling clean, fresh. You know how some cleansers still leave traces of make-up on your skin? You won’t have that problem with this cleanser! When I first started using this I would ‘test’ out the cleanliness factor by swiping my face with a cotton pad with toner expecting to find make-up residue in the wake. I was pleased to find no traces of make-up or dirt. I was truly convinced and thus have since not purchased any more toner.

What I love most about this product is, my face doesn’t feel dry or ‘tight’ after use. Most drugstore and other pricey cleansers I’ve tried are either too drying or harsh on my sensitive skin.  Purity Made Simple is extremely gentle and effective! It’s available in different sizes; 3oz (great for travel!), 8oz, 16oz and 24oz. Personally, I buy the biggest bottle I can find because I don’t want to risk running out. Although it’s pricey, $10 – $40, it lasts a long time as you don’t need but a quarter-sized drop!

The easiest thing you can do to improve your skin is to wash your face every night. I don’t care if it’s 2am and I’m dead tired, I make an effort to wash my face before I go to bed. Doing this has greatly improved my overall complexion and it’s saved my pillowcases!
