Formula 10.0.06 Best Face Forward Daily Foaming Cleanser Review

I recently was in the market for a new face wash because the face wash I was using was too gentle to be affective in actually cleaning my face. I mean it took me three washes to get all the makeup off face using the other face wash. That's two washes too many. So I went to Walgreens to look for a new face wash and stumbled across this. I had never heard of it before let alone seen it in my Walgreens. However, I love to try new things so I put this in my basket ($9) and took it home with me. I could not be happier with it. It has a nice fresh scent. It's not over powering or too week. I feel like I'm giving my face a little treat every time I use this. The cleansing power is great as well. I do not have to use this a second or third time to get my make up off. Once is plenty. That was my biggest concern. I wear a fair amount of makeup out to karaoke every wednesday night and because I have a few drinks and the bar gets pretty crowded I tend to sweat a little bit. So when I get home I need a cleanser that will get all my makeup, sweat, and anything else that might have ended up on my face through out the night off. This cleanser does just that. The best part about this cleanser would have to be that face that it doesn't dry out your skin. Nothing is more unpleasant that finding a cleanser that works but dries out your skin. It's a little heart breaking. Skin care is a tricky thing of combining the right products to get the results you're looking for. Just changing one item in your skin care routine can set off your skin and make you breakout or even dry-out. I don't think I will ever have an issue while using this product. I don't recommend people with naturally dry to use this because it is a foaming face wash and foaming face washes tend to strip more oil from the skin.

Quick Tip for People with Oily Skin!

I recently did a post on a book called Pro Makeup and some of the tips it contained. One of the most helpful tips I found was applying powder according to skin type. I had never heard of this before. If you watch people on youtube everyone applies their powder using a powder brush. There is nothing wrong with this but I have learned something better for people with oily skin. Use a powder puff to press the powder into the skin. That's right, a powder puff. See when you have oily skin you need a more concentrated application of the powder to keep your skin looking matte. The powder puff gives you that concentrated application. If you get too much powder on your face just use a powder brush to sweep off the excess. If you have normal to dry skin I wouldn't recommend this method because if you have any dry areas on your face the powder will cling to them and emphasize them. The best part about using powder puff is they are cheap and easy to find. You can find them at drug stores or find them at places like eyeslipsface.com or robertjonesbeautyacademy.com. E.L.F. sells packs of four at a dollar a pack. Robert Jones Beauty Academy sells single large powder puffs for $2.75. The only major difference I can see between them is Robert Jones Beauty Academy has the strap on the back of their puffs while E.L.F. does not. Not a big difference but certainly a matter of preference. I hope this tip helps all you with oily skin!
