Organic Bloom Gentle Cleansing Milk

My facial skin is quite delicate and I've suffered from many other conditions like eczema and rosacea for years. I've been reluctant to visit any dermatologist as many of the products recommended, often contain steroids that thin the skin after long-term usage. I also prefer to avoid pills unless they contain vitamins or nutrients that would benefit my health. Therefore, I use facial products and rely on nutritional intake to control my skin issues.

As a teenager and in my early twenties, I discovered that harsh ingredients would often irritate my skin and cause it to swell or flake even further! Many drugstore and even high-end facial products like cleansing gels and masks would also lose efficacy after time and often, become useless a few months later. After years of splurging thousands on products that failed to deliver their claims, I found myself broke. This eventually led to my search for skincare items that would be gentle on both my face and wallet.

Having learnt about organic products, I spent quite a few months reading about skincare products and discovered "Organic Bloom Gentle Cleansing Milk" by Skin Blossom for all skin types. When I first purchased it about a month ago, I was a little skeptical of its claims as the brand was rather unknown and I couldn't even obtain any concrete reviews about this item online. However, I decided to try this item, as the pricing was quite comparable to many drugstore products.

On my first use, I found that the milk was very gentle to my skin and great at removing the dirt and oil. It was light and so it didn't irritate my pores. It also didn't cause any breakouts, swelling, redness, itchiness or even flaking on my face. Best of all, I only needed to use a little at a time which minimized wastage. At the moment, I double-cleanse with this milk and slap it into my face and neck as poor massaging techniques can lead to sagging and stretched skin.

While studying the ingredients list, I was surprised to find essential oils like Ylang Ylang(Pelarnoium Graveolens) and Rose Geranium(Canaga Odorata) which are often found in much more expensive organic products. Benefits of Ylang Ylang include enhancing cell production, regulating facial oil and soothing your skin. Benefits of Rose Geranium include improving skin healing, smoothing your skin and even offering protection from wrinkles.
