My face is constantly in a state of emergency. Oiliness, breakouts, redness. I've got it all. I was using Josie Maran products (which I will review on another post). But I am lazy and was looking for something a little simple.
I have used various face cleansers from Lush before. I was in love with Ultrabland before I got my Clarisonic (it wasn't a perfect match). Grease Lightning, Fresh Farmacy, Angels on Bare Skin and Aqua Marina have all been amazing products too.
But lately my skin has been super oily. So I decided to try out Coalface. It's a bar cleanser. You just get it wet and rub it over your face and then lather it up. It's as simple and lazy as I could ask for!
Coalface is for oily skin. It is made with powdered charcoal to absorb the excess sebum and it exfoliates at the same time. There is rosewood and sandalwood oils in it as well to clear up your skin and get rid of redness.
I've been using it for a week or two now and I'm in love with it. It made me break out for a few days. Now I am seeing a huge difference in my skin. I have a few breakouts (they all seem to be the deep rooted ones) and a handful of red spots. But it is so much better! I think after another week or so, it should be more or less clear! (Fingers crossed!)
And it has drastically cut down on the amount of oil. I have been using it twice a day (in the morning and before bed). The only thing that I don't love is that it has left my skin dry. But that is to be expected. I've just had to make sure I moisturize (another thing I slack on).
