Back to Basics - Cetaphil

Not all beauty products need to be high end. Your body moisturiser needn't be Estee Lauder to do wonders. As we upgrade our beauty regimes and lifestyles, we often forget about the products we started out with. For all of £5 or under, they worked just as fabulously as any high end brand and hence, why the need to go back to basics...

I was first introduced to Cetaphil via. the youtube beauty community. Unfortunately, it is not available here in the UK. There are a few websites that import them from the States. However, you'll be paying twice the monies for it. I think I paid about £10 for a bottle from one such website. Interestingly, it is available in India at pharmacies and it's even cheaper than in the States. So, on my last trip to Mumbai, I ended up buying 6 bottles, each costing about Rs. 120.

Affordable, gentle, does the job, doesn't dry skin out, and keeps acne at bay - that's Cetaphil for you. It doesn't lather like regular face wash products. It's almost like a gentle cream cleanser. And smells a lil bit medicated but not in a way that it will put you off.

I normally follow up Cetaphil after my face wash (i.e. Clinique Gentle Cleanser or Boots Botanics Deep Pore Cleansing Mousse) although, you can use it by itself, I personally like to use a foam cleanser to make sure I get rid of the impurities.

It does make a difference to your skin. Unlike, other acne treatment face washes, this one will not dry your skin out. And anyone, absolutely anybody, in any age group can use it. Definitely, a back to basics facial cleanser. If you've got any worth mentioning, leave me a comment.
