All Year
Removing dirt and excess/oxidized sebum with a well formulated cleansing oil is key for glowing, healthy skin. Cleansing with harsh surfactant – based cleansers full of preservatives harms the skin barrier, and probably causes the majority of “dry”, “sensitive” skin issues that people come with to me for advice.
Formulating this cleanser has been a game changer for my skin, and for others. Purifying, refining, decongesting & inflammation relieving plants were carefully chosen, as were the carrier oils themselves, for their ability to relieve the skin of toxic loads & dirt.
Leaf Love makes a great massage oil, especially for lymphatic work. Note: this product now comes in a dropper bottle, not shown in image.
It’s simple to use: a few drops in your palm and massage into your face and neck. Apply a very warm, steamy cloth, press, lift, rinse and repeat. You’ll see dirt & makeup melt and your skin will look radiant. At night, no need to apply lipid serums or balms. Instead, try Evening Blossom Mist for humectant, lasting hydration!

This cleansing oil is incredibly gentle & soothing both to the skin and to the olfactory/ spirit. To me it feels like stepping over cool, damp stones to reach a secret waterfall on a summers day (One of my favorite adventures) I am sitting quietly with eyes closed and my hands naturally just want to massage my face and release the tension of the day..the weeks, months and years. Someone has peeled back a bit of warm mossy carpet and rolled me up in it. I am equally cleansed as I am nourished by this root rich, green essence infused oil. This is more than a simple cleansing oil. This is a grounding retreat

This magical potion delivers exactly what it promises: love through leaves to the skin. Soothing scent, velvety feel and long-lasting care. I’d like to bathe in it!

The scent from this cleansing oil is therapeutic, I can not stop smelling it. It really sends me somewhere else and makes washing my face in the shower a special experience. It removes all my makeup, and I love to follow it up with a gentle foam cleanse! Thank you Donna, once again.
Donna La Pré –
You are so welcome, De’Ja!
It is a very relaxing ritual.

Such a lovely oil cleanser! Everything about it is soothing to me.. from the feel of it, to the scent, to the way it leaves my skin supple and hydrated. Great with taking off makeup, a perfect nightly cleanser, a facial in a bottle.
Donna La Pré –
“A facial in a bottle!” Thank you for this!

Leaf Love introduced me to the idea of taking time to wash my face. The scent alone invites slowing down to take in its’ soft, earthy elements. A way of bringing me to my senses 🙂 My skin care is very basic, and up until now I only used warm water to wash. Since trying Leaf Love I have less facial redness, and more consistent texture. I hope Donna will be able to offer it again.
Donna La Pré –
Isn’t it a game changer, including ritualizing face washing? So glad you have found it beneficial, Sheila, and it certainly will be in the update!

This lazy actives addict is reformed! No emulsifier? I have to use a washcloth? This cleanser changed my skin and my approach. Less is more. The scent transports me to VT summers. My skin is clean, happy, and is relieved. I count the months by how many leaf loves I have left! Always keep one on hand.

Happy chuckles, reading your review, Nicole!
It’s true, this product is the foundation of happy skin.
