Benefits of a cleansing balm.

Why you should use a balm to cleanse your skin.

A cleansing balm is a type of facial cleanser that is oil-based and is used to remove makeup and impurities from the skin. It typically has a solid or buttery form which melts into an oil once warmed up on skin and emulsifies into a milky liquid once you add water. Cleansing balms tend to be much more hydrating and gentler on the skin than other cleansing formulations such as gels. Made from a blend of oils, they transform upon application on the skin, helping to break down makeup, impurities and sunscreen without irritating the skin or making it feel uncomfortable. I like to use a muslin cloth or flannel with my cleansing balm to gently take off the days impurities. For people with particularly dry skin, splashing with water is sufficient.
