The Benefits of Cleansing Balms
Cleansing balms are rich cleansing formulas that successfully remove dirt, makeup and draw out impurities from the skin’s surface while simultaneously restoring the skin’s moisture with their natural oil content.
The oil in cleansing balms grabs onto dirt and impurities and breaks down makeup. The oil in cleansing balms also helps control the skin’s oil levels as it latches onto excess oil on the skin and clears it away to prevent breakouts and clogged pores. If your face often feels uncomfortable and tight after cleansing, we definitely suggest trying a cleansing balm as it’s much gentler on your skin!
