Ren’s Rosa Centifolia Hot Cloth Cleanser

I took a fair few (read: a ton) beauty products on tour with me, but only one really stood out as a superhero. Ren’s Rosa Centifolia hot cloth cleanser fulfils the function of makeup remover very capably, gently getting rid of grime and cakey mascara and cloggy skin cells like it’s no big thing.

Where it really shines though, is calming and replenishing travel-weary, dry, irritated skin. I hate having dry skin, but a good layer of this cleanser, left to soak in while I brush my teeth or taking a shower, undoing all the damage of dry hotel rooms, late nights, tour bus air con and a few too many shandies, moisturising and soothing with a lovely rose fragrance. Its hydrating powers are so good that even when I was looking for my moisturiser in my handbag, day bag, overnight bag, oh god it’s in my suitcase in the bay under the bus- my skin would still be all quenched and soft after cleansing, it wasn’t the end of the world if I missed out moisturising. A lot of creamy rich cleansers leave you with the occasional spot but no such drawbacks with this one. I’ve actually just thrown away a few cleansers I had in my beauty stash, because this one works so well. Sayonara suckers, I’ve got a new best friend.
