Review of Barefoot Botanical Rosa Fina Nourishing Cleansing MilkBy Beverly S.
Packaging: The pump dispenser on Barefoot Botanicals Rosa Fina Nourishing Cleansing Milk has a clean design with Barefoot's distinctive pink petals on the white box with a 125ml size quality pump. Cap to keep nozzle protected & one of the best pumps which doesn't clog with any surplus product. Super clean dispense of each pump required.
Application: Advice on pump to use warm hands before applying the light textured cream. I found warming my hands in hot water was the most effective way to give a lovely massage to my face, neck and décolletage. I used two pumps especially in the evenings as I found one pump disappeared too quickly on my dry skin. The aroma was uplifting with the combination of Persian Rose, Mandarin & Juniper. The cream is scented but it isn't overpowering & unlike highly scented cleansers I found this one didn't irritate my skin, the scent was refreshing in the morning & super relaxing in the evening.
Normal caution to avoid contact with eyes although this doesn't mean it can't be used to remove eye makeup as it removes all makeup including eye make up gently & thoroughly. I loved the fact my skin didn't feel stripped or tight after cleansing.
Ingredients: Ingredients are listed on the pump although I was curious about some of the ingredients listed therefore a visit to Barefoot Botanicals products website provided me with a clear list with explanations about each ingredient used. If only all skincare brands would provide a list like this.
The cleanser uses an advanced formula combining highly effective herbs with the Rosa mosquito oil. This combination cleanses the skin with the extra benefits of cooling, conditioning and strengthening. Most importantly it will not remove vital oils & it protects the skin's acid mantle.
Comments: I love using products with rose oil so testing the Barefoot Botanicals Rosa Fina Nourishing Cleansing Milk was a joy for me. I used the cleanser morning and evening to test in all situations with and without makeup. I don't wear heavy make up but I didn't have any doubt if grime and make up were removed. My muslin cloth showed the cleanser worked on mineral or cream foundation including light eye make up.
I was reassured to note the cleanser was suitable for a variety of skin types & sensitive skin was included. At no time did I feel Barefoot Botanicals Rosa Fina Nourishing Cleansing Milk was too rich in fact the gentle but effective cleansing proved calming to my sensitive skin.
Pros
Therapeutic skin cleansing
Doesn't strip vital oils
Gentle but effective (very important)
Excellent pump dispenser
125ml a little more than most 100ml cleansers
Cons
Dry skin types may find one pump isn't sufficient to massage into the skin although a little water helps with the movement of the cream
