Charlotte Tilbury's New Double Cleanse Ritual Is Your Skin's New BFF

Think of Charlotte Tilbury MBE and her iconic Pillow Talk range and Filmstar Bronze and Glow highlight duo probably spring to mind.

But her legendary Magic Cream and dry sheet masks already proved her skincare prowess and now the Queen of beauty is extending her skincare offering with a double cleanse ritual launching this month that's a game changer for good skin. Introducing: Charlotte Tilbury's Goddess Cleansing Ritual.

The two-product ritual is hitting shelves just in time to save and restore post-party season skin and leave you looking like a "spa-cleansed Goddess".

So what is it? The first step is a citrus-infused, oil-based cleanser that removes makeup by gently melting it away to reveal fresher, glowing skin beneath.

Enriched with vitamin C for an instant skin-brightening, collagen boosting and antioxidant hit, Bacuri butter to soften and nourish and rose, bergamot and lemon essential oils: in short it smells like heaven.

Charlotte recommends removing the oil and any makeup residue with the muslin cloth provided. Steep in warm water beforehand to cleanse deep down and open up pores to receive step two...

The purifying bamboo charcoal ritual cleans deeper down to draw out impurities from clogged pores and leave your skin feeling super clean and fresh, without feeling stripped by harsh chemicals.

Bamboo charcoal is known for its detoxifying properties and is great for removing the invisible grease and grime that accumulates on your face daily that Charlotte calls 'everyday pollution.'

Activated Himalayan charcoal draws out dirt, oil and toxins, cleansing the pores for a brighter, clearer complexion. Nordic Peat extract is a sebum-absorber that helps to balance the oils on the skin.

Apply the creamy black formula onto wet skin, massage until it turns white and foamy and remove with a few splashes of warm water.

Speaking about her new releases, Tilbury commented: "In our fast-now, get-it-now generation, I have always found that people tend to use drying cleansers that dehydrate and strip the skin. Everyone deserves to cleanse like a Goddess, look like a Goddess, and feel like a Goddess!"

""I have bottled the future technology of the world's best facialists, and the rituals of the past, to give you the freshest, healthiest, most nourished complexion, but also the calm, olfactory feeling of a day in the spa. The perfect skin day starts with cleansing like a goddess."

She continued: "I am lucky enough to have benefitted from Hollywood facials my whole life, and for me this was about bringing those backstage secrets to everyone in an educational, easy cleansing ritual with innovative, hard-working super-natural ingredients."

The Charlotte Tilbury Goddess Cleansing Ritual, £32.50, includes two 75ml cleansers and a muslin cloth. It's available on UK Charlotte Tilbury counters and on her website from Wednesday, 26th December 2018 and globally from Thursday, 3rd January 2019.
