Nutritional Therapist Josie Shillabeer Review


I have been looking for a plastic free face wash for many years. The previous face wash/cleansing bars that I have tried have all been very oil stripping leaving me with dry skin and spots. I was a little reluctant to try another one but was drawn to the Balade en Provence Solid Face Cleanser after taking a look at the ingredient list and seeing a long list of lovely nourishing oils.


I have been so suprised and pleased at how amazing this face cleansing bar is that I have decided to take a morning out of my working day to write this review; I just have to tell everyone all about it!


The bar came in simple, fuss free, plastic free packaging. It was a good price and something about it being french just made it feel a little fancy.


I ran some warm water over my face first before rubbing the bar in my hands for a few seconds to transfer some of the soap onto them. I found that it was super quick to get the perfect amount of soap onto my hands, unlike some bars where you have to rub them for a really long time to get enough off.


Once on my face it spread around really easily, felt a little creamy and the smell was not too strong. The strongest scent that you get from the bar is shea butter but even this is not overpowering.


I then used a flannel with warm water to gently remove the cleanser and dirt off my face. It left my face feeling clean but not stripped of moisture. I then spray my face with rose water and put on my favourite rose moisturiser.


After a few days of using this face cleasing bar I noticed reduced redness and irritation, less spots and balanced face oils. I therefore highly recommend this solid face cleansing bar!
