My all time favorite balm cleansers

Hi beauties, happy Thursday! Since cleansing is the most important step in my skincare routine, well it should be yours as well, so I thought I would show you my all time favorite balm cleansers which in my opinion are the best type of cleansers in the market. 

I only use balm cleansers both morning and evening because they are gentle on the skin and cleanse really well in terms of getting rid of makeup and daily grime. I'll link my current morning and evening skincare routine here and here so you can check them out if you like. 

If you are still using form/gel based cleansers then you should think about chucking them away because they tend to strip skin's natural oil and make it rather dry and tight. Balm cleansers however don't do that at all and they are suitable for all skin types even the oiliest ones. Some people with oily skin are afraid of oil based cleansers, but in fact they do exactly the opposite of what you think they might do to your skin. Come on think about it, the reason why your skin produces so much oil is because it is lack of its natural oil, and by using form cleansers you are stripping away all the natural oil on your face so to balance that out your skin needs produce excessive oil. It makes sense right?! So if you are still using form cleansers then it's time to think about switch over to balm cleansers. 

Today I have 2 here to show you. Both of them are my favs and I don't think I can't live without either of them, literally! 

First up is the Emma Hardie Amazing Face Moringa Cleansing Balm. I think I can save my breath on this one because it is a highly raved product in the beauty world. Everybody uses it and everybody loves it. I don't think I have seen even one negative review on this cleanser because it is that good. It is so lush! It smells like a SPA and the balmy texture feels so nice on the skin. It takes off absolutely everything on the face. It comes with a cloth which is great for wiping away all the makeup and dirt. I can't say enough good things about this cleanser. If you haven't tried then please hop to it! You won't regret I promise! It's packed with good skincare ingredients and essential oils. It's not the cheapest cleanser but it lasts absolute ages. It is in my opinion worth every penny. NOTE: if you are allergic or sensitive to essential oils then I suggest get a sample to test out before purchasing the full size. 

I feel like the Emma Hardie cleanser is doing something extra to my face as well. I mean I can't quite put my fingers on it but I swear every time when I use it my skin feels plumped, even and just so healthy looking. I just love it so much and I think nothing would ever replace this lovely cleanser for me. 

Next up is the Oskia Perfect Cleanser. This is another lush balm cleanser that I think I would always come back to. It's like the Emma Hardie one but a tiny little thicker in texture. It's not as easy to spread and it leaves a little residue on the face if you are not using a cloth, but I like this formula because I feel like it's doing something and my face feels so hydrated afterwards. I know that a lot of girls swear by the Clinique Take the Day off Cleansing Balm but I am just not convinced. It's so waxy and thin. I mean maybe it's just me that like thick textured balm cleansers but honestly the thickness does feel nice on my skin.

Left: Oskia Right: Clinique (I hope you can see how waxy is the Clinique one. I mean it just looks like pure wax from a candle. Not for me)

Anyways the Perfect Cleanser feels so smooth and luxurious on the face. It works just as well and costs the same as the Emme Hardie one. Oskia Perfect Cleanser comes in a tube so if you are not a big fan of digging fingers in pots then this is the one to go for. It smells lovely too! I am not gonna go into too much detail because I have a full blogpost dedicated to this cleanser just click here. 

That's it guys. I hope this is helpful. If you do think about buying a good cleanser then I would highly highly recommend these 2. They are not cheap I know but a little goes a long way with them, and just think of these are an investment for your skin. If you cleanse well then your serums and creams would sink in deep to your skin so much better, am I right?!
