Alternative to oil cleansing

[Juno213]

I love oil cleansing. It suits my very very sensitive combination skin perfectly. However with 2 small children I find it very hard to fit in to my routine as I only have tepid water in the taps so have To boil the kettle to get water hot enough. I know it's a poor excuse but it means I often go days just using water to wash my face in the shower. Is there an easier alternative that will suit such sensitive skin. Preferably natural and cheapish that I can wash off in the shower?

I wash mine in the evening whilst the kids are playing in the bath. Could you bring a just-boiled kettle up with you at bathtime and do it then? You'd still be on hand to supervise and it only takes a few minute.

I have sensitive skin too, and the accepted wisdom is to only cleanse your face with tepid water. Water that is too hot dilates the capillaries too much, at least for me. The solution might be to double cleanse, as I do, following my oil cleanser with micellar water on a cotton pad. The garnier one is brilliant: very cheap and you get 400ml I think in the bottle. It takes off any residue from the oil that's left after rinsing and leaves your face very clean.

Have you tried mircellar water. Try Garnier or Boiderm. It won't replace deep cleansing, but will do the job in the morning.

Misread WagonWheel's already good advice!

Thank you. I will look in to it. I always just used hot water because it removed the oil well. Didn't realise that I wasn't spider to.

So I apply oil as normal, then wash with a flannel and tepid water. Then use micellar? Do you find this is drying? And do you need to moisturise? If so,what do you use? I feel like I should have this sorted in my 30s but I'm still paying for the years of retin a and acne drugs as a teenager.
