Product Information

A balm cleanser should be the first step in your skincare routine – think of it as a makeup remover with benefits. Most cleansing balms work best when applied to dry skin: simply take a small dollop, massage it into your face, and add water to loosen. Once you’re done, a balm is best removed using a damp flannel or muslin cloth, before following up with your favourite water-based cleanser and creams. Can I use a cleansing balm every day? Everyone has different skin types, so it’s essential to find a cleanser that suits yours the most. We tried four different cleansers from Boots, Superdrug and LookFantastic to find our holy grail product. For years I never really had a proper skincare regime. I’d take off my makeup with a wipe and eye makeup remover, wash my face and apply moisturiser. It wasn’t until I had my first proper facial that I discovered I was missing out vital steps, with the most important being cleansing. The state of my skin has been a real annoyance over the last few years—sometimes it would be plagued with spots, while a few weeks later, it would switch in a second and become insufferably dry. With some products only worsening the issue, this situation has made the process of selecting skincare a little difficult to say the least. Popular brand It Cosmetics was developed with plastic surgeons, with an extensive product range designed to provide real and visible results. It Cosmetics Confidence in a Cleanser is a lovely, gentle cleanser that effectively removes makeup and the day-to-day dirt and grime.

I’ve been using The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter for more than a year now so thought it was time to share my review.Let's be real, there are many reasons as to why cleansing balms are superior to old-school makeup remover wipes and their micellar water counterparts. For starters, they offer a more effective way to pre-cleanse and remove makeup, excess oil, dirt or built-up grime without leaving your skin parched. “Many balms also contain nourishing ingredients such as vitamin E and essential oils so they don’t strip the skin and leave it feeling tight in the same way that other types of cleansers might,” says Jane Foulston, director of award-winning skincare brand Emma Hardie.

No, it doesn’t look like much, and no, it doesn’t smell like a spa and no it absolutely does not promise to totally fix your every skin concern overnight. However, it does remove every last trace of dirt and makeup from your face with zero fuss. It also smells somewhat comforting and promises to totally change the way you approach your evening skincare routine due to how remarkably easy and fuss-free it is to use. If your skin is feeling particularly dry use a nourishing cleansing balm as a simple face mask by leaving it on clean skin for 10-15 minutes and then remove with a warm cloth. Or use it as a lip balm, on cuticles, or on any other dry areas.” When cleansing with a balm use the opportunity to practice some at-home facial massage and lift and sculpt your eye area, cheekbones and jawline," Jane adds. “Support the skin with one hand and use a microfibre cloth to gently buff the skin, using short, linear strokes to work with the natural grain of your facial tissues. This will improve circulation and lymphatic drainage and encourage healthier and younger-looking skin,” she shares. Olea europaea fruit oil (olive oil): contains essential fatty acids dry skin needs, including oleic, palmitic, and linoleic acids. Functions as an emollient and has antioxidant benefits I’m just going to open with this: The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter is simply a joy to use.Honestly, it would’ve been nice to see camomile feature in the top 5 ingredients of the cleansing butter’s INCI list. But due to pretty much all of the top 5 ingredients having emollient properties, this product seems like it will be very friendly to the skin.
