Poppy Anyone? Burt Bee's Lemon Poppy Seed Cleanser

I finished my bottle of MD Facial Skincare Cleanser and started my mission to find a low cost one that will deliver some of the same benefits.  I wanted something for dry and combination skin that was nourishing and provided added moisture in these upcoming cold months and that cleaned the dirt off my face, and of course I wanted something with some sort of acid. 

So I hit the Target aisles and decided on Burt Bee's Lemon Poppy Seed Cleanser. What attracted me to it: it's natural, it has exfoliating seeds as well, and it SMELLED simply delicious! It smells like lemon cookies I have seriously considered tasting it (its natural right?). 

I noticed when I opened the jar that is seemed to be very thick, and I used too much the first time, I slathered it on like a mask. A little goes a long way. I would actually recommend NOT wetting your face before using this, as it has a "buttery" feeling and to me works better on a dry face. You may notice a bit of residue which at first made me feel like my face wasn't clean, but it was very clean actually, and in the AM my face felt smooth and moisturized. I can honestly say this cleanser really doesn't strip your face of its natural oils. It may seem greasy but trust me it goes on nicely and afterwards I like the glow it gave my skin. I was surprised for $8.00 I had a really good cleanser. It worked really well after a peel and microdermabrasion, no burning and great moisturizing agent for those NEW skin cells.

Key Ingredient: Lemon Oil: Obtained from the fresh peel of the fruit of the Citrus Lemon tree, this oil is known for its astringent and anti-irritant qualities. Lemon oil imparts shine to the hair when added to hair products, and is also valued for its characteristic sweet, fruity refreshingly clean, lemony fragrance. It balances overactive sebaceous glands that lead to oily, blemished skin, clears and enlivens the complexion and is effective in treating brittle fingernails and in general hand care.

LOVES IT!!!!
