Cleansing Balm Are Better Than Makeup Removers, Here’s Why

Okay, so when you hear the name ‘cleansing balm’ you instantly know that it is a cleanser. But, when you already have a makeup remover and a cleanser at home, do you really need a cleansing balm? Short answer: yes. Because it not just cleanses your face, but does a whole lot more. What do we mean? Read on to find out!

What is a cleansing balm?

It’s an oil-based cleanser that has a solid, creamy consistency. It forms the first step of the double cleansing process, and helps break down makeup, sunscreen, and any dirt built-up on the face. Consisting of a blend of nourishing skin oils and waxes, it wrings your face clean without stripping off the natural oils. 

So, this means that people with all skin types (oily included!) can and should use a cleansing balm in their everyday PM routine. 

What are the benefits of using a cleansing balm?

Our Mon Cherry Dirt Dissolving Cleansing Balm is a hero. It is bursting with the goodness of cherry blossom and moringa seed oil that nourish and soften your skin. While grapefruit and salicylic acid ensure that your pores remain squeaky clean, pearl extracts are responsible to enhance radiance. Packed with these five incredible ingredients, this daily-use cleansing balm will always leave your skin feeling smooth and bright. 

1. It is the first step to double cleansing

Whether you apply makeup or not, using a cleansing balm can be a total-game changer for you. Since, double cleansing ensures that your face is completely void of any dirt and impurities. It’s like cleansing the slate at the end of the day. Once that is done, all your skincare products can do their job well, and ultimately give you better-looking skin. Using this first and then moving to a cream-based cleanser (if you have dry or sensitive skin) or gel-based cleanser (if you have oily or acne-prone skin) should become your everyday nighttime ritual! 

2. Gently exfoliates and makes skin soft

Since you’re not just cleaning your face, you’re also massaging it with a blend of nourishing oils and emollients, butter-y soft and smooth skin is guaranteed! The creamy texture of Mon Cherry Dirt Dissolving Cleansing Balm immediately melts into skin and leaves it feeling moisturized and comfortable. Plus, it contains salicylic acid that does an excellent job at unclogging pores and giving a clear complexion. 

3. It takes off all makeup

Wearing a long-wear lipstick that just won’t come off? Time to bring in this bad boi. Cleansing balms can effectively break down and melt away makeup, traces of dirt, impurities and sunscreen so that your skin can breathe free. No more tugging and pulling your skin with a makeup remover, simply massage your skin with the balm and off goes it all! 

4. Does not sting or irritate your face

If you have sensitive or dry skin, then you might be well aware of the repercussions of using a makeup remover on your face. It stings, burns, irritates skin, and often causes redness too. Yikes! But using a cleansing balm does the exact opposite of that – the ingredients nourish your skin, while the massage relaxes your face. So, wear all that makeup without a worry, because this cleansing balm will always have your back! 

5. Suits all skin types

If you have oily or acne-prone skin, we get it that you would be skeptical to put grease on grease, but the Mon Cherry Dirt Dissolving Cleansing Balm is non-comedogenic, which means that it won’t clog your pores. Plus, oil pulls out oil, so at the end your skin will actually be less oily and much more balanced. Even those with sensitive skin can use it without a worry, as this skin-loving balm contains no irritants or harsh chemicals. 

6. It’s mess-free

The consistency of cleansing balms is such that it only melts once it comes in contact with your skin. So, it won’t drip down your neck or spoil your clothes. Our cleansing balm turns into a milky consistency upon massaging and deep cleanses your skin without leaving behind any oily residue. 

Need we say more? We think not! Because after this long list of benefits, we’re sure you cannot wait to try your hands on this skincare wonder!
