FAQ: Goodnight Lavender Facial Cleansing Oil
Is this safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women?
Yes, the vegan formula is gentle and soothing; however, we recommend consulting your attending physician before use.
Can this remove eye make up and waterproof cosmetics?
Yes, though for some waterproof formulas, we suggest massaging the oil around the eyes a little longer than normal to really get the products dissolved before rinsing off. Using a Reusable Bamboo Make Up Removal Pad with the oil can also help pull away any stubborn residue and exfoliate more effectively.
Is this safe for lash extensions?
We don't recommend using this cleansing oil directly onto the lash extensions as the formula works by dissolving away pigments and dirt, which can weaken the lash glue. Cleansing Oils are not recommended for lash extensions.
Can I use this if I have oily, acne-prone skin?
Yes. This Skin Barrier-supporting oil formula is fantastic for people with weakened skin barriers, or those easily irritated from synthetic fragrances (often found in cheaper, drugstore cleansing oil brands). It also has a more sophisticated formula than just pure oils, so its cleansing power is more potent and can melt off most make up wear.
We think of the Goodnight Lavender Facial Cleansing Oil as the first step in a bedtime ritual, so we want people to begin relaxing when washing off the day. For acne-prone skin, we recommend double-cleansing with the Cooling Foam Cleanser afterwards to ensure a deep clean before skincare.
What's the difference between the Cooling Foam Cleanser and the Goodnight Lavender Facial Cleansing Oil? Do I have to use both, or is one enough?
Cleansing often causes water loss, and after showering and facial cleansing, the skin is stripped momentarily of its oils and moisture. This is why cleansing with oil is particularly good for those more sensitive to water loss (i.e. Dry, mature skin types or people who love long, hot showers).
Double-cleansing with oil is a great way to retain hydration for those who like to wash their face a lot, take long showers or have chronic dryness/Rosacea. That said, it's up to individual preference to use one or both; as professionals, we love the double cleanse!
