While in Paris earlier this month, we talked at length with other beauty bloggers about our most favorite products and Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil was on nearly everyone’s list.

This morning we learned that there’s a new cleansing oil in town: High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil, and this one significantly improves the removability of waterproof makeup.

For a limited time, this is also available in exclusive Limited Edition bottles adorned with Mr. Uemura’s calligraphy.

If you’ve never tried any of the Shu Uemura cleansing oils, follow the Shu Uemura Japanese cleansing technique for maximum benefits:

1. With dry hands, dispense an ample amount (4-6 pumps) of cleansing oil onto palms.
2. Apply cleansing oil all over the face and neck.
3. Emulsify by adding cold or lukewarm water.
4. Massage thoroughly onto skin, breathing in the natural fragrances.
5. Rinse thoroughly with cold or lukewarm water.

New Shu Uemura High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil is currently available at shuuemura-usa.com.
