Cleansing balms are solid but melt into an oil when you massage them onto the skin. They combine the deep-cleansing power of oil with a nourishing, cushiony texture.

They feel luxurious, deeply cleanse, and leave your skin hydrated and comfortable. Think of it as self-care in a jar. I like to use it once a week to cleanse my pores, it really bring out a lot of impurities!
✏️ Note: They take a little longer to emulsify, so be patient and enjoy the process.

Cleansing oil works like a magnet for heavy makeup and sunscreen. It melts away even the most stubborn foundation and mascara, then turns milky when you add water, lifting away dirt and excess oil.

Cleansing Oil – Deep but Gentle Power
Wearing light makeup daily? Go for cleansing water.

The key to an enjoyable routine is not just what you use, but how you use it. Take a moment to massage the product in, breathe, and let the stress of the day go. Your skin will thank you for it.
At the end of the day, makeup removal isn’t a chore—it’s self-care. Choosing the right remover for your skin type ensures every cleanse is gentle, effective, and even a little joyful.
