FAVOURITES: Pre-Cleansers

Pre-cleansing is something that I've only recently started doing, which now seems quite bad. A pre-cleanse is basically exactly what it sounds like. You are removing your make up before cleansing your skin fully. Since doing this, I've found that my skin has become a lot clearer and brighter. And although it does take an extra few minutes in the morning and at night, the end benefits are definitely worth it.
No7 Beautiful Skin Cleansing Water - £9.00 I bought this with my No7 voucher and I wasn't expecting much from it. That's probably because it does look just like water. But I've fallen in love with this product. It smells fresh and clean and it removes make up nicely. Especially around the eye area. It doesn't irritate the skin at all and I also love using this as a toner as I find it very refreshing. It's definitely one of those things that I love having around for quick fixes etc. It's a great multi-tasking product. 
Rhodes to Heaven Juniperberry Cleanser & Tonic - £17.00* I've had this quite a while now and this was one of the first products I used to pre-cleanse my skin. This product has quite a strong smell but it's nothing that annoys me personally, even though it might do you. It removes make up very well and I love using this when I've wore heavy base make up as you can see how much make up it removes.
Super Facialist by Una Brennan Neroli Firming Lift & Hydrate Facial Oil - £14.99* I really have saved the best till last. If you'd have told me a few months ago that I'd soon be using an oil on my skin I'd have laughed. My skin is combination so the thought of using an oil to cleanse my skin was alien to me. But I love using this. It's very simple to use; you pump the oil out, warm it up between your palms and then massage it into the skin before washing it off. It removes my make up exceptionally well and I've found that since using this, I haven't been using as much of my Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish which is fabulous as that's so expensive. I also love how soft and glowing this makes my skin look. The overall appearance of my skin has improved dramatically since using this and I can see myself repurchasing this for the rest of my life!
What products do you pre-cleanse with? Do you pre-cleanse at all?
