A good cleanser forms the foundation of any skincare routine. It removes makeup & dirt from your face and leaves your skin feeling hydrated and looking smoother and healthier. Many people choose cleansing balms when they want to remove their makeup. These products work particularly well for people with dry or sensitive skin because they remove makeup gently and effectively without drying out your face. They can even take off waterproof mascara. Cleansing balms become especially helpful during winter because they contain oils that moisturize your skin and protect its natural barrier. The beauty team has been testing a new balm this season that contains ceramides. It happens to be one of the best products from Tropic Skincare that they have tried so far.
Although it only launched in January our beauty team got to try this nourishing formula a month before it became available. After testing the balm thoroughly our Beauty Shopping Writer and Editor both agree that this formula deserves a place in their skincare routines. The balm contains barrier-supporting ceramides and collagen-boosting actives along with essential oils that create a spa-like experience. This balm-to-oil formula easily removes stubborn makeup and excess oil plus dirt and impurities without drying out your skin. The blend includes ceramides and Acerola cherry extract & murumuru butter which strengthen the skin barrier & boost collagen production while nourishing & softening the skin. When you buy the cleansing balm you also get a skincare spatula and bamboo face cloth worth £11. Our Digital Beauty Writer Sennen Prickett normally uses cream cleansers but this balm formula won her over. She explains that unlike overly solid textures that are hard to apply this formula is temperature-tested to change from a butter into a silky oil when it touches your skin so it glides on seamlessly. Regarding the results Sennen describes how rich and nourishing the formula feels. She says this balm is luxurious and has a subtly uplifting scent. It effortlessly melts away stubborn makeup & even harsh eyebrow tint based on her firsthand experience.
Sennen praised how the balm worked well on her sensitive skin without causing problems. She explained that her skin usually gets irritated when it loses moisture but this balm made her face feel clean while keeping it full and hydrated.
Although it costs more than some options it remains comparable to other cleansing balms available today. Sennen notes that a small amount of this formula works effectively so one container should last quite a while. She suggests getting the free spatula and bamboo face cloth because the balm has a terracotta color that might stain your regular face cloths during removal. Aleesha Badkar who works as Beauty Shopping & eCommerce Editor at woman&home also enjoys using this new balm. She explains that she has tested numerous makeup cleansers over the years including balms & oils and foams & milks and butters and waters and bi-phase solutions and even those small towels that only require water. This product ranks among her top choices. She has learned to value the special experience that an oily nourishing cleansing balm provides & considers this one the most luxurious she has encountered. The thick rich texture melts in your hands when you warm the balm and feels more nourishing than most others she has tried. It leaves skin feeling supple and soft without any greasy residue. The fruity-scented butter removes makeup quickly & wipes away without difficulty while leaving skin feeling clean and healthy & moisturized. The attractive gold and deep red container also looks nice in the bathroom.
