The Best Cleansing Balms

Comments Off

Hihi, I hope all is well and good with you. Today I’m sharing some of the best cleansing balms and oils I have used. I am a huge fan of double cleansing( sometimes triple even!) because of the many benefits of the process. Double cleansing is essential washing your face twice: 1st with a oil based cleanser then a gel/foam cleanser. Can you just use your gel/foam cleanser twice? Sure however the benefits of double cleansing really lie in the oil based first cleanse. Oil will attract oil so this allows the balm/oil cleanser to effectively remove makeup/SPF/excess oils from the skin.

There are a lot of cleansing oils and balm on the market, from luxury high end brands to budget friendly drugstore products. Take your pick! A balm is essentially a solidified oil, I like both but I tend to prefer balms over oils just because its less messier lol. I have tried a lot, over all price points and these are the best 5 cleansers I have used. Btw, all of these have mini sizes you can try out before investing in the full sized pricer product.

Farmacy Green Clean £34– it was really love at first scoop with this. I got a giftset that included a mini green clean and the rest is history. The solid balm melts into a lightweight oil effortlessly and it works so well at removing makeup and SPF. This really impressed me whilst I was on holiday removing all traces of sunscreen without leaving my skin dry. There are many versions of green clean like scents etc but I find the original version to be the best

Tatcha The Camellia Cleansing Oil £48– this is such an impressive cleansing oil and very effective against waterproof makeup! I got a travel size version in a Tatcha gift set I got for Christmas 23 and fell in love. (PS that set is excellent value for money, read my review on it here) Will I purchase the full sized product honestly? yes, its pricey but what are discount codes for lol but I will 100% repurchase the giftset to get the mini size again. It lasted much longer than I thought. The oil itself is so lightweight, emulsifies well and removes makeup effectively

BeautyPie Japan Fusion Pure Transforming Cleanser £10 for members, £25 non members– a long time ago when I was a BP member this cleanser was my go to! It is ridiculously lightweight and works so well at removing makeup! BP in general have great cleansers however this one is one of their best. My thoughts on BP as a whole can be found here

Elemis Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm £29 – this is such a cult favorite and I was so lucky to get trial sizes of this at a bloggers event which lead me to getting a gift set for Christmas. This is one of the ‘heavier’ balms I have used so I find it slightly heavier on the skin HOWEVER it does so so well at removing SPF, makeup and oils. it emulsifies so well( turns milky with water) and it doesn’t leave any heavy residue on the skin.

Eve Lom Cleansing Oils Capsules £25– I was looking for travel friendly oil/balm cleansers and I came across Eve Lom, at the time I had only heard good stuff but never used anything from them so it was a huge leap of faith! and it paid off because these oil capsules are so great for travel and work so well at removing sunscreen & makeup! I absolutely love the scent of these- they smell like a fancy spa. They are a lightweight oil that rinses off clean, the capsule sizes are big enough, 1 is good for makeup & SPF( medium makeup) but I like to use 2 capsules if I have a lot of makeup or lots of SPF on. Well worth the money

I have noticed most of these are higher premium/luxury brands but these are the ones that really have stood out. I have used a lot of drugstore ones but nothing really that stands out or is worth recommending. I have my eyes on some drugstore ones and even k beauty balms too which I have heard only great things about. If you have a fav drugstore balm PLEASE let me know

catch you later!

Here are some Omorovicza bestsellers and some of my personal favourites to consider adding to your cart:

Rejuvenating Night Cream

This has just come back in stock after being sold out for quite some time so this is perfect timing. It’s a soothing, rich and comforting moisturiser, ideal for the colder months and if you use this at night, you’ll wake up with firm, plumped up skin.

The Rejuvenating Night Cream is brilliant for targeting fine lines and wrinkles as it uses Hazelnut peptides which contain amino acids present in the skin’s natural moisturising factors, such as arginine, aspartic acid and glutamic acid which visibly volumise the skin.

Ultramoor Mud Mask

This is one of my ultimate skin care products and I am never without it. If you ever feel like your skin needs an instant boost, this mask is the one to reach for. I swear by it.

It uses mineral-rich Moor Mud and also creamy Hectorite Clay to detoxify and draw out impurities while retaining moisture levels. There’s also Amino acids to gently exfoliate, while marine plankton extract plumps fine lines and boosts collagen for skin firming and strengthening.

If I ever have any texture, or extra visible pores, this smooths and perfects my skin in one 15 minute application. It truly is like a purifying facial in a jar and the glow it gives is amazing.

Queen Serum

This is instant glow in a bottle and is one to go for if you want to target lines and wrinkles. It uses Mediterranean Microalgae which has a unique ability to selectively bind to the skin’s deeper retinol receptors to reduce wrinkle depth, firm and tighten whilst avoiding surface level irritation.

I find this so effective that if I am feeling a bit extravagant, and I am showing a bit more skin than usual like arms and leg, a quick layer of this over any exposed skin literally shaves off years. If I’m showing a bit of leg, this will always get me compliments. It’s an extravagant move, but it totally works!!

Queen of Hungary Mist

This is hands down the best face mist I have ever used. I absolutely adore it. The formula is soothing, calming and supremely hydrating, and the mist itself is cloud like and almost ethereal. It really cannot be beaten!

It’s a true multi-tasker and can be used post-cleanse as a toner, to prep
skin pre-makeup, and you can also spritz it frequently throughout the day whenever your skin feels like it need a refreshing hydration boost. If you have never tried it, now is the time.

Daily Vitamin C

A Vitamin C serum is an essential part of my daytime skincare routine, and this one from Omorovicza is absolutely excellent. Whenever I use it consistently, I find that is quickly brightens my skin and really helps to even out my skin tone.

It uses an incredibly stable form of Vitamin C, that is long-acting on the skin and also delivers a hefty shot of Hyaluronic Acid. There’s also niacinamide to smooth, soothe and perfect. It’s fabulous.

Why Shop Black Friday with Omorovicza?

Unparalleled quality skincare: Omorovicza delivers the benefits of the mineral-charged waters of Budapest and Hungarian facial massage, for optimum skin health. Omorovicza’s unique formulations are powered by the clinically proven Healing Concentrate to allow skin to achieve its full potential

Rare discounts: this brand rarely has offers like this which makes Black Friday the best time to stock up

Exclusive Free Gift: the high-value bonus of the Icons Kit maximises the value saving opportunity.

Omorovicza’s Black Friday 2024 sale is the perfect chance to indulge in their award-winning skincare with unbeatable savings. Whether you’re a loyal fan or new to the brand, this is your moment to invest in high quality skincare at 25% off while snagging an incredible free gift.

Skinceuticals HA Acid Intensifier Multi-Glycan Review

There’s nothing like a good Hyaluronic Acid serum for a lovely plumpness to the skin so I was very excited to try out the new Skinceuticals HA Intensifier Multi-Glycan serum which is an upgrade to their best selling Hyaluronic Acid. Here’s what you need to know.

What is Skinceuticals HA Intensifier Multi-Glycan?

This is a brand new formula from Skinceuticals, described as a multi-dimensional volumising serum to plump and contour:

Next-generation corrective serum
Proven to amplify the skin’s own hyaluronic acid levels
Leaves skin looking plumper and more contoured
Contains a high concentration of 1.3% pure hyaluronic acid
Includes 12% Proxylane™
Also features a new post-biotic ferment to increase the effectiveness of HA
Promises instant hydration that lasts 48 hours
Preserves levels of Hyaluronic Acid in the uppermost layers of the skin

Key Ingredients

1.3% Hyaluronic Acid – to plump and hydrate

12% Proxylane – more concentrated than the previous H.A. Intensifier formula, works to support skin’s hyaluronic acid levels to help improve the appearance of skin firmness

2% Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (Liquorice Root Extract) & 2% Post-biotic Ferment (New Ingredient) – helps support skins firmness and improve skins texture

0.2% Purple Rice Extract – preserves HA levels in the skin’s uppermost layer

How to use it

This is designed to be used once or twice a day. All you need to do is apply 4-6 drops and blend over the forehead, cheeks, chin, and neck.

Skinceuticals HA Intensifier Multi-Glycan pipette

Where in your routine should the Skinceuticals HA Intensifier Multi-Glycan go?

If using in the morning, apply after a vitamin C antioxidant serum and before a sunscreen. You can add in moisturiser before sunscreen if you wish.

My Review of Skinceuticals HA Intensifier Multi-Glycan

Skinceuticals HA Acid Intensifier Multi-Glycan texture

I have been absolutely loving this serum because it is so instantly plumping and really gives a gorgeous radiance to the skin. The texture offers a bit more than a regular hydrating serum and also feels really moisturising. You could in fact skip moisturiser if you wanted to go straight to a sunscreen for the day time.

Having said that, the texture still feels really light and refreshing and isn’t sticky like many HA serums can be.

After each use, it leaves my skin looking really toned and more contoured, and fine lines are brilliantly minimised. The feeling and look of hydration is very long lasting, and I find that it leaves my skin really plumped up and dewy all day long.

What are Glycans or Glycosaminoglycans?

These are naturally occurring compounds and part of the skin’s matrix. They provide hydration and structural support to the skin. Glycans, like hyaluronic acid, help promote surface-level plumpness and volume.

How is HA Intensifier Multi-Glycan serum different to other Hyaluronic Acid serums?

This serum contains 5 active ingredients that all work together to plump and contour the skin. The formulation uses 3 different types of Hyaluronic Acid and is also fortifies with licorice root and purple rice extracts to further preserve the HA levels in the skin’s uppermost layer.

Proxylane and a new post-biotic ferment extract also help to increase skin’s plumping glycan levels to boost the look of facial volume.

Where to buy it

The Skinceuticals HA Intensifier Multi-Glycan serum is £120 and available via the links below:
