Have you ever washed your face but realise that you still have make up residue left on your face? or your skin just doesn't feel squeaky clean and maybe even dry like you just used paint stripper? Enter a cleansing balm.

In this guide we are going to look at what they are and how they work.


Everyone should be cleansing both morning and evening and you should double cleanse in the evening, especially when wearing make up and sunscreen.




 

Why Is Cleansing important?


Cleansing your face is an essential part of any skincare routine, as it helps to remove dirt, makeup, and dead skin cells. It is important to cleanse your face twice a day, in the morning and in the evening especially if you wear makeup. It is recommended that you should double cleanse in the evening as you wear sunscreen and makeup, not cleansing properly can lead to clogged pores and breakouts.


Cleansing balms helps to deeply cleanse your skin, so using a cleansing balm as part of your routine can provide a gentle and thorough cleansing to your skin and will help to effectively remove impurities while nourishing the skin at the same time.


Choose your cleanser carefully - Ensure it isn't drying out your skin and is providing both soothing and moisturising qualities like our Renew cleansing balm. It spreads easily and has the most amazing aroma due to the blend of Frankincense, Orange and Ylang Ylang essential oils. ⁠

How to use our cleansing balm?


You do still have to use water with it so the idea is you would just take a little bit of cleansing balm rub into your face and what I like to do (extra tip here) is just take a lovely warm flannel/Muslin Cloth and put it onto your face and just let that steam in and that just helps to let the extra nourishment that sinks deep into the pores of your skin.

Use a pea sized amount of cleansing balm

Apply cleanser to dry face

Rub into your face very gently

Rinse your face with a muslin cloth and lukewarm water

Continue with the rest of your skincare ritual



Cleansing should ALWAYS be the first step in your skincare ritual-start with a clean Palette!
