Couple of months ago I realised that I needed to change my face washing routine as my skin was just getting worse and worse. At that time I was washing my face with harsh makeup remove products and face scrubs and I was wondering why it didn't help. I made a change - I stopped washing my face entirely and my skin got so much better! I started cleaning my makeup with a new product I had discovered in Boots Pharmacy - Boots Botanics Ultra Calm Cleansing Solution with Marshmallow.

This sensitive skin makeup remover is developed with Kew Royal Botanic Gardens and it has Marshmallow which is a herb and has soothing properties in it. I have to say that 'Kew Gardens'-name in the bottle was one reason for me to buy the product as I adore Kew Gardens. If you are visiting London you should definitely put that one on your sightseeing list as the Gardens are amazing.

Nature's Ingredient Marshmallow: The marshmallow root has been in use since around 200 BC under the Greek name ‘Althea’, which actually means ‘to heal’. The famous Greek physician, Hippocrates, claimed that the marshmallow root was of great use to effectively treat wounds. For many centuries, marshmallow root has been used to effectively heal bruises and burns. It was also applied to areas where there were muscle aches and sprains and inflammations. (info from here)

Kew Gardens: Kew Gardens (formal title Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, brand name Kew) is the world's largest collection of living plants. Founded in 1840 from the exotic garden at Kew Park in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, UK.
