A long time ago, I got a few Burt's Bees products from the States at a much cheaper price as compared to locally, but it seems that they are now not allowed to ship Burt's Bees overseas. I wanted to try the Lemon Poppy Seed Facial Cleanser for the longest time and finally decided to just get it from Sephora @ $18. Smelling tart like freshly-squeezed lemononade,I use this as a cold cream to remove makeup, soften or hydrate the skin rather than as a scrub. The poppy seeds offer little/no abrasive factor whatsoever, especially to one who is used to scrubs made with crushed walnut/almond. A great perk-me-up, and did you know lemons helps in brightening the skin?
I love the Orange Essence Facial Cleanser that I got a couple of years back as well. In fact, I prefer the scent of oranges to that of lemons, as it feels 'warmer', if you get what I mean. This, as opposed to the Lemon Poppy Cleanser, is more of a gel than a cream. It smells just as good. I use this as a massage gel and the body heat eventually melts the gel into oil. Contrary to the instructions on the packaging, I have to wash both cleansers off with soap as they as very heavy and would otherwise leave my face extremely greasy. However, these are two products that I would repurchase any day.
