Alba Coconut Milk Facial Wash

Okay, we'll admit it. We get a little excited when we run out of face wash. Being a firm believer in getting our money's worth and using every product up until the last drop, we only get the chance to make a face wash purchase a couple of times a year. So even if we loved our last, just-used-up product, we almost always try something new the next time around. We have no better excuse for this behavior than sometimes a girl just needs to indulge her product junkie self.

Last week we got our first chance in the new year to give a new facial wash a try. On a whim, we decided to stretch our face cleanser budget a tiny bit and opted for Alba's Coconut Milk Facial Wash. It's that time of year in New England when our face has had it with harsh winds, dry temps, and abrasive cleansers. For a few months, as we move through the rest of winter and into spring, we need a facial wash that will do the dirty work without drying. Basically, we want clear skin without the product "rough-housing" on our skin. Cleanser commitment fears aside, we took a leap of faith. It didn't hurt that Alba's Wash promised to be "soothing, gentle, and richly hydrating." Oh? And the delicious smell didn't bother us either.

Thankfully, our leap of faith worked and we've been pleased with this product from the very first go-round. Come to think of it, we might want to keep this one in the rotation for quite some time. Which means we're just going to have to indulge our product-loving side somewhere else.

Good thing we're almost out of shampoo.
