dream creamery
Born in South Africa in 2014, Skin Creamery is a real OG of slow skincare. Organic, vegan and always without soaps, alcohols, synthetic fragrances and parabens, the products are as pure as they are elegant.
I first was intrigued by the line because of the oil-milk cleanser, with its gorgeous melted butter texture and my overall love for an oil-based cleanser ... but if this is immediately turning you off because you like a more squeaky-clean cleanse or are oily or acne-prone, consider this dynamic duo:
So if you start with the silky oil formula of the Oil-Milk Facial Cleanser, it will deep cleanse and rebalance your skin (and eye area/lashes, even removing waterproof mascara) with sesame oil, baobab and melon seed. It smells incredibly fresh and clean, like rosemary and rinses to a soft, smooth finish.
But if you want to boost it and exfoliate as well, just add a dash of the beautiful Deep Cleansing Powder, with Calcium Bentonite and Buchu (an indigenous South African anti-bacterial herb), which makes the oil-milk into a softly scrubby paste. You can actually make a larger palmful of paste and use it the same way you would use a clay mask, as the calcium bentonite absorbs oil and deeply detoxes your pores.
These two slow skin dance partners are an amazing pair, especially if you’ve always been dubious about oil cleansers for oily/acne-prone skin.
