It’s always nice to try out some new skincare, and when I ran our of my The Body Shop Tea Tree Blackhead Exfoliator last week, I opted to try something new bought this Simple Oil Balancing Exfoliating Wash.
It claims to deep cleans and refreshes your skin as well as control shine. The ingredients include witch hazel which I’ve always been a fan of as well as natural zinc pca – the product which absorbs the excess oil and vital vitamins too. See what I thought of the product:

My thoughts on Simple Oil Balancing Exfoliating Wash
The wash is a clear gel with very small grains which aren’t too harsh on your skin, I’ve found in the past exfoliators can really grate on my skin so it’s nice to have something a bit more gentle. It also means this can be used daily rather than every other day or even less frequent.
The product definitely worked for me. It helps reducing spots although doesn’t quite tackle with the issue of blackheads like I’d want it too. I struggle with blackheads on my nose and haven’t yet worked out how to get rid of them.
it wasn’t irritable at all and leaves my skin feeling very smooth. Although I’ve heard it can leave your skin dry, so if you already struggle with dry skin it’s probably not for you.
At £3.99 it’s a great price which definitely won’t break the bank, and the product is fine, but I still think for now I won’t repurchase and instead I’ll try to find a product that does everything I want it to do – keep breakouts at bay AND rid me of those horrible blackheads!
