From Geishas to K-Beauty: Your Guide to Double Cleansing
The geishas knew it. K-Beauty swears by it. Everything you need to know about double cleansing.
A face wash balm or cleansing balm is a solid or semi-solid cleanser that melts on contact with the skin, transforming into a silky oil that dissolves makeup, sunscreen and impurities without stripping. These cleansing balms can be used on their own but can also be used as the first cleanse in any double cleansing method. They gently break down even waterproof mascara and long-wear makeup whilst keeping the skin feeling soft and nourished.
These face wash balms are where cleansing meets comfort. Packed with botanical oils, butters and plant extracts, they leave skin soft, smooth and clean without that tight, stripped feeling. From rich balms for dry and mature skin to lighter options for combination complexions, there’s something for every skin type. Massage onto dry or damp skin, emulsify with a little water and rinse clean for the perfect cleanse. If you are double cleansing, follow with one of these foaming face washes.
