Clean is not subjective!

I have used one face cleanser for the last 9 years. That's longer than any relationship I've ever had. I have cheated on my cleanser from time to time, lured by seductive promises, fun packaging or reader awards in certain 'beauty' magazines. Lies! All lies! My heart belongs to Philosophy's Purity Made Simple. I buy it only in the giant 32oz bottle, as any other size is a waste of my time and money. Here's the what:
The creamy texture, the soothing aroma, the fact that it works! It removes every bit of my makeup including my mascara because I can rub in my lashes and it doesn't upset my finiky-sensitive eyes. I recommend you rub it into your skin, not just over, you will like the result. It acts as a toner, it is moisturizing, which is delightful, and it is  mildly exfoliating.
Fun facts! I use it once a week to clean my underarms to really clean those pores that get the fuzzy end of the lollipop with deodorant AND sweat. I use it once a week when I shave my face! YES! I shave my face. Why not? (a post to come later!) I also use it on my special lady area when it needs a little extra cleaning.... I know you know what I mean by that.
I will never assume that what works for me will work for every one just as well. That couldn't be true or there would only be like 4 products on the market. I'm just saying that I have this product figured out for myself & many of my friends have followed. Barring a zombie apocalypse or God-forbid a formula change, I will never need another face cleanser.
