The Best Makeup Removers

Described as 'probably the best cleanser in the world' by Vogue, this multi-purpose, multi-award-winning balm by Eve Lom has been expertly balanced to suit all skin types. Combining the brand's signature blend of four aromatic plant oils (Clove, Eucalyptus, Hops and Egyptian Chamomile) the cleanser promotes glowing, radiant, smoother-looking skin. Massage the cleanser into the skin then wipe off with your Eve Lom Muslin Cloth, working it across the face in small, circular movements to encourage circulation and exfoliate dead skin. Rinse the cloth in cool water and then hold over your face and neck to close pores.
