Cleansers I’m using right now, and that have recently launched.

Seems like everyone is joining the balm cleansing game, and most of the time, they’re the most gentle yet effective way to get rid of everything, including sunscreen which is especially formulated to stick to your skin. You want to get that stuff off at the end of the day. Don’t forget that the key to using these is to use them on bare skin, not wet skin. You do wash them off with water, and the oil emulsifies and washes away. We’ve got the Fenty Skin Melt Awy cleansing balm; honestly, it’s my favourite, so I’m saving it. It has a gel-type of consistency and it melts into an oil. I like that you don’t really have to work to make it melt into your skin.

Clinique’s Take The Day Off Charcoal Cleansing Balm is a new take on the classic hit product, but this one does require a bit more work to melt in your hands before you apply it on your face. I love that it’s a huge tub of product and it will last a long time. I kind of love the get it once and forget about buying anything again because the tub is huge. The satisfaction of wiping away a face covered in charcoal grease is not to be underestimated.

Finally, there’s the new Neutrogena Cleansing Balm and this one does feel a little cheap because the texture is kind of grainy. I hate to say that the cheapest one is not my favourite because there should be something good at any price point, but of these three, this one is not it. Finally, if you wear mascara, you need to try a cleansing pad or cloth, and the last picture is my True You one which lives at my sink and gets thrown into the was every week, Honestly, get one. You don’t use it with cleanser and just use water. It really works. What’s really satisfying is to use it to wipe your face after washing everything off and seeing how much makeup was still left on there.
