This is exactly the point I was trying to make about the thread on the 10-12 step Korean skin care. It is possible that people overdo the products ending up with angry red skin. ( and wasting their money doin' harm rather than good) Something very gentle for sensitive skin would probably work for you, but you did the right thing to let it 'rest' and calm down.I hate to admit this, but after trying different facial cleansers and not getting great results, I tried doing absolutely nothing to my face for a week to see how that will go. Turns out... my face doesn't break out, get too greasy, none of that bad stuff! It's just odd how it turned out that way. So my routine for my face is to literally do nothing except SPF in the morning before heading to work, and at night some light coconut oil.
Of course, YMMV since every person is different!
Sounds lovely! Do you use a moisturiser after wards? I used the eve look range, she pioneered the hit cloth method and she used to insist on no moisturiser afterwards to let the skin 'breathe' at night.I recommend the Elemis Pro Collagen Cleansing balm - it is amazing!
Not being one for loving cleansers and seeing them as practical only, after getting this balm, it has changed my life.
Smells wonderful, feels luxurious.
You rub it into the face and take off with a hot cloth. Like a facial every night.

Glossier milky jelly cleanser. Light and hydrating
What is this like? I have been wanting to try their products! I have the rosewater mist, which is okay but nothing special IMO.
Re: favorite cleaners, I love bioderma crealine h20 to take off makeup/sunscreen, then Avene Xeracalm A.D Lipid-Replenishing Cleansing Oil. However, this oil does foam, which I understand is not great for your skin. I have been meaning to try another cleanser, but haven't found anything that is both gentle and removes makeup/sunscreen residue like the avene cleansing oil does.
I have heard good things about Tata Harper and Sunday Riley, but I'm like to try samples before splurging on full size versions.
I LOVE eve lom, but I have a hard time justifying spending so much money on something that just sits on my face for a matter of seconds.
Thanks for sharing - I will have to try it at some point.The Glossier cleanser has a faint smell of rose and is good for everyday cleanse. Though I don't think it's good at removing makeup so you can use it as a 2nd cleanse
Luminance skin care for mature skin. Vegan, organic, hand made in small batches, cruelty free. I've been using about 10 days, and my face is happy!
