Looking for a cleansing balm that effectively removes makeup, SPF and dirt without drying out your skin? We have selected our favorites for you!
Cleansing balm is a natural way of cleansing. It works by fighting oil with oil. The balm has a solid texture that transforms into a milky consistency when it comes into contact with water. A good cleansing balm can be seen as minimalistic. If possible, look for a formula with as few unnecessary additives as possible, so it rinses off easily.

Frequently asked questions about cleansing balm
What are common mistakes when using cleansing balm?
It is important to wet your fingertips and gently massage your face. This helps the solid balm transform into a milky liquid so it can be rinsed off easily.
What is the double cleansing method?
Double cleansing is a two-step cleansing routine. You need two types of cleansers: an oil-based cleanser to remove the base layer in the first step, and a water-based cleanser to thoroughly cleanse your skin in the second step.
Is a cleansing balm necessary?
When wearing heavy makeup or water-resistant sunscreen, a cleansing balm is recommended. If you experience problems with traditional cleansers, cleansing balms are also a gentler alternative.
Can a cleansing balm be used as a single cleansing step?
Cleansing balms cleanse well enough to work as a single step. When using heavy makeup and water-resistant sunscreen, it is recommended to also use a water-based cleanser.
By choosing cleansing balms, you help give your skin a clean start to your skincare routine. Hopefully, we have helped you choose your new favorite! Dive here into our selection of cleansing balms.
