The Japanese Think Of Everything

Leave it to the Japanese to decide it’s a good idea to lather olive oil all over the face to dissolve makeup and impurities.  But the craziest part is the stuff doesn’t clog pores and won’t make you break out!  How the heck did they do that?  Of course the magic people who have the coolest cellphones years in advance of us, were able to accomplish this task.  I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s been receiving the DHC Skincare catalog for years (you know, the weird one that you have no idea why you’re on their list but inside there are always some cool samples?)  Well, I finally gave in to the catalog and ordered their Deep Cleansing Oil.  I was so curious to see how my skin would react to this product that is literally olive oil, rosemary oil and vitamin E.  You squirt some in your hand and spread on dry skin.  Then rinse off.  While it really makes my skin soft, I was skeptical if it was actually removing makeup from my face.  So, I did what any self-respecting beauty junkie would do – I wrote on my hand in lipstick and put the Cleansing Oil to work.  And yes, it actually removes makeup.  Crazy!  While you don’t get the satisfaction of the lather, you will reap the benefits of lack of lather because your skin will actually be softer.  And I’ve been using the stuff for a week now and no breakouts, so can’t seem think it’s clogging my pores.  It’s a very small pump bottle for the price, but a little goes a long way, so it will probably last me a while.  They have some pretty interesting stuff on the website, so check it out.  Even more interesting is all the packaging is in Japanese so they include an English cheat-sheet so you know how to use all the stuff.  Oh, and with every order you get free samples.  I’m such a whore for free samples.
