Boots Botanics Soothing Cleansing Balm.







I've been eyeing this up at work recently, I love the Botanics range and we all know I love hot cloth cleansers, which is pretty much what this is.
I love using natural, organic products. This cleanser contains shea butter which is well known for its conditioning and nourishing properties. It makes it a bit different to the average cleanser as it's a lovely balm instead of a cream or lotion. You'll notice the balm contains crystal formations due to the natural ingredients, but after massaging it into the skin it melts in so easily. Although it's a balm, it's not greasy or oily so I wasn't worried about the risk of breakouts. It really absorbs into the skin, and then the organic cotton cloth can be used to take off the balm along with any makeup and impurities.

My skin felt gorgeous after just one use. Because of the slick nature of the product, it makes it easy to massage into the skin. Giving yourself a facial massage is really recommended, to increase blood circulation and improve overall complexion.
I apply this to my face and then massage in circular motions, like they always say to, and I can really notice a difference in the overall look of my face.
I didn't actually use the cotton cloth which came with the product as I have so many muslin cloths floating around. I imagine it's similar to any other cloth.

I think this is a lovely cleanser, it feels amazing when massaging it into the skin and my skin appeared brighter and in better condition after one or two uses.
Definitely a product that everyone should own!

Have you tried this product before?
