A few weeks ago I received the Facial Cleanser from the Abysk brand for testing. I was very curious about this because it is an oil-based cleanser that you have to apply on dry skin. My favorite way to clean my skin.
Abysk is a Dutch clean beauty brand that goes back to the basis of skin care and takes care of the skin, the protective layer of your body, in a natural way. That is why Abysk starts from what is closest to your skin: oil. The main ingredient of Abysk is Abyssinian oil which is naturally rich in vitamins, minerals and omega fatty acids. Abysk adds 5 to 7 natural and active ingredients. You don’t need more to make your skin glow. Abysk does not use perfume, essential oils, preservatives, alcohol and water, is vegan, cruelty free and Allergy Certified.

Abyssinian Oil
Abyssinian oil is cold pressed from the seeds of the Crambe Abessinica, an original Ethiopian plant that can be recognized by its white-yellow flowers. The fruits of these plants grow in clusters. An odorless, powerful oil is extracted from small seeds via cold pressing. This vegetable oil forms the care base for Abysk. This oil stands out in particular because of the high content of erucic acid (50-65%), which forms a protective lipid barrier and retains the moisture, leaving your skin hydrated for 24 hours. In addition, Abyssinian oil is rich in omega fatty acids, vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, C, E, proteins, minerals. Abyssinian oil provides an intensely hydrated skin, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, regenerates and gives the skin a more youthful appearance and a beautiful glow. The Abyssinian oil in Abysk spreads easily on your skin and absorbs quickly without leaving any traces.
Founder Erica van den Broek
Abysk was developed by beautician and nutrition advisor Erica van den Broek. With years of experience in her own beauty salon, she has worked with numerous top brands of skin care products. Many of these products are full of unnecessary or even harmful ingredients. When Erica discovered Abyssinian oil, she decided to develop a line of products herself using only natural, 100% vegetable and active, uncritical ingredients. All Abysk products are certified with the Allergy Certified label, which guarantees that there are no known allergens (perfume, essential oils), endocrine disruptors and potential carcinogens in the products.

Conclusion
These types of cleansers are my favorite because you have to apply them on dry skin. The oil is very gentle on your skin and mascara and other make-up residues disappear like snow in the sun. It is soft, fast acting and effective. After time, your skin feels very nice and cares for. Where some cleansers give your skin a tight feeling, you will notice that this cleanser immediately takes care of your skin during cleansing. For a mini facial in your bathroom, you can also remove this cleanser from your face with a warm compress cloth. It does not leave a greasy film, but a soft and well-groomed skin. I am especially curious about the anti-aging Abysk Facial Oil, which seems to work very well in combination with the Facial Cleanser.
