THE BEST CLEANSING BALMS ON THE MARKET THAT WILL ONLY SLIGHTLY BREAK THE BANK



Hi, babes! Emma here, and let's talk cleansing balms!

What are you doing if you aren't already indulging in the art of double cleansing? It's the missing puzzle piece to obtaining cleaner, smoother skin, and it all starts with investing in the appropriate cleansing balm.

The following is how it works: Instead of wiping away your makeup with a wipe (which, I don't know about you, irritates my skin), you use a balm to gently dissolve your foundation, mascara, eyeshadow, and other products—just smooth it over your dry face, add a little water, and it'll melt into a creamy, milky texture that easily removes your makeup. For the rest of your routine, you'll have a completely clean base (think: your regular cream cleanser, serums, treatments, the works).

And now that you're sure you need one in your regimen (sorry, makeup wipes), you're in luck: I've rounded up the four best cleansing balms that will always leave your skin feeling fresh. And, because I care about you, I identified a product for every skin type and price , so you're sure to find one that works for you.

Glow Recipe Papaya Sorbet Enzyme Cleansing Balm
Papaya enzymes help fine-tune uneven texture, and blueberry extract helps buffer skin from outside aggressors, in this fruit salad, I mean cleanser-meets-exfoliator (think: sun exposure, pollution, and heat). Even better, it smells amazing (just don't eat it).

Banila Co Clean It Zero 3-in-1 Cleansing Balm
This energising K-Beauty balm melts away the stress of the day in a flash, without stripping your skin of its natural oils. Do you understand what that means? After that, your skin will not feel tight. This one is made with hot spring water and vitamin C-rich cherry, and it never leaves a greasy residue behind. You may also get four different formulas from the brand (Nourishing, Revitalising, Purifying, and Pore Clarifying) depending on your skin type and issues.

Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm
This two-in-one cleansing balm from Farmacy breaks through your many layers of sunscreen and makeup, even if it's waterproof, thanks to a powerful combination of good-for-your-skin components (sunflower, ginger root, and turmeric oils). It also contains papaya extract, which helps to gently slough off dead skin cells, leaving you with softer, smoother skin with each use.

Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm Makeup Remover
This is the first cleansing balm I've ever used, and I've continued to buy it ever since. It melts away all of my makeup, including full-coverage foundation, concealer, and five coats of mascara, without drying out my skin or irritating my eyes. Take a dollop, massage it into dry skin, emulsify it with water, and then rinse. Just remember to use your favourite cream or foam cleanser afterward.

There you go, babes. Now, don't take my word for it, definitely test these out yourself. 

Until next time.

Love, 
Emma

COLLAGEN: INGREDIENT DEEP DIVE

 Hi, babes!  Emma here with a little semi-deep dive into collagen. You've heard about it, you've seen supplements being advertised, and you have some inside you at the very moment, but how much do you actually know about it? Let's pick it apart today, shall we?  It is impossible to discuss anti-aging skincare without bringing up specific elements, one of which includes collagen. What's behind it though? The most significant structural protein in our skin, collagen is also responsible for providing us plump, youthful-looking skin, among other functions. But over time, our collagen degrades due to ageing and other external factors. We resort to whatever we can get our hands on the quickest in an effort to replace that lost collagen, be it collagen lotions, collagen-stimulating substances, collagen supplements - the list really is endless. Things might be rather overwhelming with all the various collagen skincare products on the market, which is why I'm here to guide y...

DARK UNDERARMS? NO PROBLEM

Image
Hi, babes! Emma here, and today I'll be sharing some tips for lightening your underarms. I'm sure that many of you, including me, have encountered this issue so here's some things that have worked for me. But first, a little breakdown on why this happens.  How do I brighten my underarms? was a question my sister and I asked our mum when we were in our teens. She told us that this was a question she was very well used to and we weren’t the first to ask or wonder about it. She said the issue humbled her greatly because it was a hard thing to treat, but she’d try.  So here are some tips and pearls of wisdom my mum, a dermatologist of over twenty years of experience, shared with us that I’ll in turn share with you.  Before we get into the how, I first need to tell you the why. Underarm skin is delicate. In terms of depth, it is analogous to eyelid skin. This means that it is very easy to irritate this skin, and unfortunately, irritation also produces additional pigmentation. ...

WHAT'S A MICROBIOME AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

Hi, babes! Emma here, and today we'll be talking about something quite interesting. By that, I mean that we'll be learning out our skin's microbiome, the gut-skin relation, and of course nutricosmetics, which have been a strong trend these past few years when it comes to the beauty industry. Without further ado, let's dive right in. How frequently are we asked about our skin type when it comes to its qualities? The usual kinds, such as sensitive, normal, combination, oily, or blemish-prone, are therefore automatically used. Not that this terminology is inaccurate, but we can no longer make such straightforward inferences about our skin. Our skin is not as rigid or static as one might believe given that it is a complex organ. Understanding how our skin responds to the environment has an impact on how we take care of it. Skin Type vs Skin Condition We might comprehend that there are several "types" of skin, including normal, combination, dry, oily, and sensitive...
