Time to remove your make-up? Check our list of oil-infused cleansers for the face
Time and time again, we are led to believe that only oil-free beauty products can keep our skin clear and sebum-free. However, new studies suggest that oils, especially those formulated to cleanse the skin, can provide healing benefits while stripping deep-seated dirt.
How does oil cleanse your skin?
Oil-based cleansers are great for people who want to dissolve oils from the make-up or sunscreen they applied earlier in the day. Unlike their soapy face wash counterparts, cleansers infused with oil will not over-dry the skin since it is naturally hydrating.
In the list below are Tatler’s top-rated oil-infused cleansers:
