I have tried ALL of the top leading cleansers including Sisley, Chanel, Lancome, etc. and Mary Kay, Noxema, Oil of Olay, etc., and the BEST BY FAR is: EVE LOM. She is based in London and her products are not easily available here in the US. I order them now through Amazon.Com. BUT . . . it is worth it! It is a green colored waxing substance in a jar with the faint scent of lavender, eucylyptus, rosemary, etc. and you emulsify it in your hands and spread it over your face with a bit of water. Then with a little muslin cloth provided with each jar you wipe it off your face. It removes all makeup, deep cleans and leaves you feeling very refreshed. In fact, the cleanser does not need a moisturizer afterwards, you skin feels so good and natural!! Each jar is approximately $90 but lasts for 3 months or longer. It really is the miracle in a jar everyone has always looked for.
If you are on a tight budget, I recommend either the Oil of Olay or Aveeno line of cleansers and moisturizers.

I first heard of this word when I took part in the Winter Feast For the Soul. I have been a follower of the meditation teacher Davidji from the Chopra Center for two years now and he taught a lesson on this during the Feast. I play that downloaded me
for $90 – I would be tempted to get the ingredients (available easily) and experiment in the kitchen. The Eve Lom cleaners is beautifully packaged but I could never use it because it has so much paraben in them. Same with the oil of olay or aveeno products – chock full of parabens and chemicals – well back to the kitchen. Thanks for the idea though
I agree with you. There are so many natural and organic products available that spending $90 is outragious. A clarisonic Mia is $149.00 and then add a cleanser from any natural or organic line and you will have top notch, beautiful skin.
I agree as well, http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/ is a great data base to ensure your cosmetics are paraben and chemical free. I make my own body wash and skin cream.

I use just plain old soap and water. Gets me clean and costs much, much less. Apply a good moisturizer afterwards and you’re good to go. I’m seventy-three and have done this all my life and don’t have a wrinkle. Do use a good soap, however – not the one you bathe with. I like the ones with goar’s milk, but if you can’t find it, Dove works quite nicely.
you are very luck to have such great skin. I don’t like the dry feeling soap leaves me with. I have tried several special face soaps and have never found one that worked. Olay Purifying mudd is about $6.00 for a tube and it last’s me about 2 months with washing my fas twice a day.
I have been using Olay Purifying Mud Latering Cleanser for several months now and getting great results. It leaves my face with a very clean feeling but not dry. I still have an issue with an oily T-zone and this really seems to help keep that under control. I have used a lot of high priced cleansers but have found this one works the best for me.
