I’ve
been using the Emma Hardie Amazing Face Moringa Foaming Cleansing Wash nearly
every morning for about 3 months (and there is still a tiny bit left!) so I
thought it was time for a review! J. I was using the moringa
cleansing balm before this (I have a review on this too!) and whilst I really
enjoy using it, it is definitely something to use in the evening when you have
that extra time to fully benefit from its amazing formula. At the time it was
25% off at Debenhams and I had a gift voucher too and as loved the cleansing
balm, I thought I would give it a try to use as a quick and simple morning cleanser.
The
cleanser claims to have the following benefits;
‘Essential
oils of Rose, Neroli, Jasmine and Orange help to balance the skin.
A
blend of Moringa extracts and Pumpkin fruit enzymes ensure the skin is left
thoroughly cleansed, refreshed and lightly exfoliated, revealing smoother,
brighter, younger looking skin
A
gentle yet effective daily cleanser which brightens, softens and conditions the
skin whilst essential oils of Neroli, Bergamot, Sweet Orange and Madarin help
to uplift and energise the senses’
The
product comes in a 150ml pump bottle and (as the name suggests) has a foam
consistency when applied to the skin. It has a lovely light floral scent which
is very similar to the moringa cleansing balm and it’s a pleasure to use every
morning. I always apply the cleanser to a dry face, as is my rule with all cleansers…products
don’t fully get to the skin if it is wet. I massage the light foam onto my skin
for about a minute to really absorb the active ingredients. I then simply wash
it with water and I only do this because it rinses away easily leaving behind
no residue at all. I would highly recommend it for a morning cleanse as I don’t
think it would remove makeup effectively enough.
Some
mornings, I add a small amount of the ‘Indeed Labs facial powdered exfoliator’
into the cleanser for more of a ‘physical’ exfoliation and this works very
nicely, I can’t use the powdered exfoliator on it on as it way too harsh for my
skin and I always end up with angry red bumps L! Also, some evenings I mix
my cleansing balm with some of the foaming cleanser (as a consultant at Emma
Hardie kindly told me on my Instagram page) as the pumpkin enzymes add a mild exfoliation
to the balm, which I then remove with a hot flannel.
Now
this foaming wash doesn’t get half as much attention (and lack of reviews too!)
as the cleansing balm and I honestly
think it its underrated. Having used the cleanser daily for a while now, I have
found it does a great job of purifying and also nourishing the skin. I know
lots of people have experienced foaming cleaners to be very drying, however,
this doesn’t not leave my combination skin tight or stripped of its natural oils.
I definitely agree with the claim that it is gentle whilst still being effective
and the addition of the essential oils in the formula really maintain hydration
and plumpness in my skin. It has gone some way to brighten my skin but I wouldn’t
say this is its biggest plus point.. and as for the younger looking skin, I don’t
think that any cleanser can make that much difference! All in all, my skin has
been left smooth, nicely balanced and generally feeling very happy. It’s a product
I can rely on and the days where I am having issues with my skin, it will just do
the job without making anything worse.
To sum
it up, I think it makes for an ideal and quick morning cleanser, suitable for
most skin types and I would recommend it if you have been put off by drying
foaming cleansers in the past. Just one point on the price, I believe it
retails for £34. It may seem on slightly on the expensive side but it has
lasted me ages! It’s definitely worth checking out if it is on offer and it may
well be with Christmas only just around the corner! J
Have
you tried this cleanser? I would love to hear you thoughts, comments and
suggestions!
