They say if you find a job you love, you never have to work a day in your life. Well, we feel the same about cleansers – find a formula you’re obsessed with and washing your face will feel like a treat rather than a task.
And we’ve got to say – one velvety smooth cleansing category certainly stands out above the rest in the serenity stakes – cleansing balms, AKA the reason we legit look forward to our twice-daily sink sesh.
You’re probably wondering what’s so damn special about them, right? There’s a few standout factors. For starters, they feel like butter on your face – slather a good balm on and it’ll literally melt into your skin. The best bit, however, is that while you’re enjoying the facial-esque feeling of the texture, the oil within the balm is hard at work grabbing onto all the makeup, impurities and grime calling your complexion home.
Balms also offer a lot of bang for your buck – a little goes a long way, so you can afford to invest in something a little more luxurious in good faith that it’ll serve you well.
So, in a bid to have you join us on the cleansing balm bandwagon, we’ve rounded up the softest, silkiest and most impressive balms in the biz. We promise you’ll soon be just as obsessed as we are…
