Cleansing balms are a type of facial cleanser that use oils and emollients to remove dirt, makeup, and buildup from the day without the need for harsh scrubbing1. They are able to cleanse without stripping the skin of its natural oils and damaging your skin barrier1. Cleansing balms work particularly well for dry skin types, but the softening, nourishing properties benefit any complexion type2. The ingredients found in cleansing balms typically soften, moisturize, and comfort the skin2. Cleansing balms have a luxurious rich texture containing beautiful natural aromas, conjuring up images of a health spa3. They are geared towards achieving optimum glowing skin and creating healthy skin rituals3. The top 5 benefits of using luxurious cleansing balms are:
- Dissolves makeup effortlessly
- Easily transforms into a milky consistency
- Leaves skin feeling hydrated but not oily
- Provides a deep clean to dissolve excess oil on the skin that can lead to clogged pores and breakouts
- After the makeup is removed the skin feels replenished, hydrated and most importantly clean34.
