I’m a sensitive person, and anyone who has ever met me could tell you that I have very big emotions that come out in almost everything I do. I used to be so ashamed of myself and my big emotions because whenever I would ask advice from someone their first response was usually to stop overreacting. It took me years to finally realize that instead of trying to hold in my emotions and take one size fits all advice from others I should instead follow where those deep emotions stem from. My sensitivity is not a weakness, but rather a strength. It may have taken me a couple years to figure out, but when I finally did my life became ten times easier! One thing that helps me keep a good head on my shoulders is self care, specifically skin care and makeup.
Ironically my skin is just like my personality: sensitive as HELL! Finding products that work for me is so beyond difficult, especially when it comes to taking off my makeup. My sensitive skin makes it hard to find a product that takes off my makeup without making my skin feel like it’s bursting into flames.
Thankfully, Elemis has me covered. Their new Pro Collagen Naked Cleansing Balm has been a life saver for me. Not only does it have no fragrance, it also feels absolutely amazing to put on. I have always preferred cleansing balms to makeup wipes, but this balm not only puts makeup wipes to shame, but also many cleansing balms I’ve tried to shame. If there was ever a product I needed to recommend with a guarantee that it’ll be liked, it would be this one!
Another thing I love about this cleansing balm is how easy it is to apply, so I don’t need to use too much to take off my makeup. To take off my makeup, all I need is to apply about a pea sized amount on each side of my face then rub my makeup off. Instead of having to use 2+ makeup wipes, I can save more product, and by extension, more money! Not to mention cleansing balms are significantly better for the environment than disposable wipes!
Don’t be ashamed of being sensitive! If you love self care and have extremely sensitive skin I definitely think this product is for you. Take care of yourself and your skin with Elemis’ Pro Pro Collagen Naked Cleansing Balm!
