If you’re not too familiar with balm cleansers, your skin is absolutely missing out.
So here’s what you need to know about them, and what makes our Overachiever Balm Cleanser so good.

What is a balm cleanser?

As the name suggests, a balm cleanser is a thick, sometimes waxy texture that’s applied to dry skin with dry hands to do the real hard work in melting away makeup, sunscreen, oil, and dirt from your skin. Once rinsed with water, it turns into a milky cleanser that rinses off easily to leave skin feeling soft and hydrated (but not greasy!)

Why do I need a balm cleanser?

A thorough cleanse is the key to happy, healthy skin because all of the fabulous ingredients in your treatments, serums, and moisturisers will be able to do their job so much better. Starting your skincare routine with a balm cleanser ensures you nail that cleansing step and get the most out of the rest of your routine.
