Balance Me Cleanse and Smooth Face Balm

skincare · October 12, 2020 · Updated on May 22nd, 2023

Review of Balance Me Cleanse & Smooth Face BalmCleansing balms have been a game-changing addition to my beauty routine since making the switch to natural products. My first full-sized escapade into the world of cleansing balms was the Balance Me Cleanse and Smooth Balm (125ml RRP £20.00). It very quickly became one of my favourite beauty products and I’ve featured it in my Best Natural Beauty Products of the year before – it’s that good!

Being a bit of a newbie to balm cleansers at the time, the consistency did take me a little while to get used to at first! It’s an oil-based balm containing rosehip, sweet almond, kukui, camellia and coconut oils, all of which make easy work of cleansing, removing make-up and softening the skin. The balm also contains the tiniest little pieces of oatmeal to gently exfoliate and encourage cell renewal as you cleanse.

To use, you just smooth a small amount of the balm over face and neck in circular motions for about 30 seconds, then add some warm water (it turns slightly creamy at this point) and continue massaging for another 30 seconds or so. You can even gently wipe it over eyes too, just be careful not to get it in your eyes – trust me, it’s not the best of experiences!! To finish, simply wipe away the residue with a flannel or the muslin cloth provided.

Review of Balance Me Cleanse & Smooth Face BalmUnlike a lot of other cleansing balms, this one comes packaged in a squeezy tube which is a lot more hygienic than scooping out of a tub. I find this makes it a lot more travel friendly. The only downside is during colder weather the balm hardens inside the tube so you have to warm it up before you can squeeze it out again.

The Cleanse and Smooth Balm is my perfect companion throughout the winter months, thoroughly removing all my makeup and keeping any dry patches at bay. I’ve repurchased countless times over the years and with using it 4-5 times a week it lasts me over 6 months, so at a cost of £20 I think it’s well worth it and great value for money for how long it lasts! It’s safe to say I love this product and I will definitely be repurchasing again in the future!

One last makeup fave to end 2021! 100% PURE Fruit One last makeup fave to end 2021! 100% PURE Fruit Pigmented Ultra Lengthening Mascara 🌿

My favourite new encounter this year has been with one of the most well-known mascaras in clean and natural beauty from @100percentpure 

I have no idea why I took me so long to try this one, it’s now firmly in my top 5 for natural mascaras! 

If you’re after extra length for your lashes, this mascara absolutely delivers. It also smells like berries, lasts all day and holds a curl too 🙌

I briefly mentioned this one the other day, but it deserves it’s own post as one of my favourites this year!

Dry shampoo is a life-saver on those days where your hair is starting to look a little greasy, but you don’t have the time for washing it. Let’s be honest, I’m going to have even less time for that dreaded hair-wash day come January with a newborn 🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve tried a fair few naturally formulated dry shampoos over the years and @captainblankenship Mermaid Dry Shampoo is one of the best! I really love the uplifting scent of rose geranium and palmarosa that lingers throughout the day too.

It’s one of those more unique products as it changes through 3 different textures so it’s ideal to highlight for #texturetuesday too!

It starts off as a gel which then melts into oil on the skin. Then when you add warm water it emulsifies into a creamy milk consistency (swipe to see)!

It’s the loveliest luxurious and relaxing product to use as it smells amazing and leaves the skin super soft too 😊️
