You are missing out if you have only been using water based makeup remover all your life!

Cleansing balms are taking over and here are reasons why you should jump on the bandwagon too:
1. Removes makeup, dirt and grime while restoring moisture to the skin with its natural oil content
2. The oil component in cleansing balms grabs onto the excess oil on your skin, preventing clogged pores
3. Cleansing balms break down makeup, making your makeup removal process more efficient
4. You won't have to use cotton pads, just scoop a small portion of the balm out and rub onto your face
