I never used to bother washing my face at night to get all the makeup off. Really awful, I know, but just using mineral foundation and minimal mineral shadow, I didn’t think it was that big of a deal…and I was being lazy. However, in the last year I’ve revamped my night time routine to include various facial cleansers (still looking for one I like) and a wash cloth.
One of the products I’ve been using comes courtesy of my very good friend, Saff, sent to me all the way from South Korea: Holika Holika Egg Soap!
Two soaps come in this cute box, made from recycled paper. It looks just like a small egg carton.
Each egg comes individually shrink wrapped. The egg soaps are about the size of a small chicken egg and have a nice, light scent. There are a few types of these eggs and the white ones are supposed to tighten pores and make skin sleek.
I’m not really sure how often I am supposed to use this soap, but when I use this soap as a final cleanser after my make-up removers, it does look like my pores are smaller and my skin looks clearer.
I think each soap will last a while since it takes very little to get a lot of lather to wash your face with. Basically, what I do is just wet my hands and rub the egg for a second and then rub my hands together until I get enough lather to massage on my face. I leave it for a minute and then use a wash cloth to wipe my face clean. You’re supposed to also be able to use it as a mask by leaving it on your face for ten minutes before rinsing off, but I haven’t tried that yet.
Overall, I really like these egg soaps and gladly include them in my cleansing regimen.
