I don’t know about you, but there’s something overly satisfying about watching my makeup melt away with a cushiony balm cleanser – it’s purely indescribable…
There were many reasons why I decided to switch from wipes to cleansing balms and the first being that it simply hydrates and moisturizes your skin without overly drying it. The second is that it doesn’t require much water, making your skin routine easier and more efficient.
By scooping, massaging and wiping it away, your basically indulging yourself with a mini at-home face massage. Most cleansing balms include ingredients like enzyme or acid exfoliation, which leaves your skin feeling fresh and smooth. In other words, cleansings balms are where it’s at.
