I normally use coconut oil as a facial cleanser, but I was interested in trying MG Skincare Soothing Facial Cleanser to compare both products. In this blog post, you will find out what’s in MG Facial Cleanser and how it compares to coconut oil.

Review
This cleanser is great at removing both make-up and daily grime. It’s presented in simple packaging and is easy to use. In addition, it makes your face feel less greasy than coconut oil. It can be used day or night (oil-based products can’t be used in the morning, as they may cause your skin to burn in the sun).
This product has a similar subtle scent to a cleanser I previously used. You don’t need loads, just put a small amount on a cotton pad each time and rub into each area of your face in a circular motion.
There isn’t an awful lot you can say about a facial cleanser, but I have few complaints about this one. One small criticism is the expense, as it’s over £15 and you go through the bottle quite quickly.
Overall, you can’t go wrong with this product. It’s pleasantly scented, suitable for red, itchy, dry, or sensitive skin and has non-irritating ingredients (apart from Phenoxyethanol which some people react to). It makes a wonderful addition to your morning and evening beauty regime.
