Incase you had missed the memo, cleansing your face with a balm is all the rage. I have no strong feelings against other cleansers but as I have mentioned in other posts Caroline Hirons Blog has become my skin care bible and so if she says balm, then that’s what I will be putting on my face. Amen.
There are two balms I have been using and really loving, one is more of a budget and the other is a luxury. Let’s start with Luxury…
If you have been losing hours to beauty blogs and YouTube videos them I’m sure you have heard the words “Emma Hardie” uttered a thousand times. I always think if enough people say good things about a product then there is just no denying that you need it. (That’s my rule and I’m sticking to it). So I did just that.
Packaging: It comes in a glass tub, maybe not the most convenient but sure looks good in your bathroom. Although it seems to break a little easy, I have heard other people say this and I already have 2 small cracks appearing.
Product: This goes on almost like a thick oil and feels incredible on your face, and trust me a little goes a long way! Spread the balm all over your face and wipe off with a warm muslin cloth or face cloth. My skin feels soft, nourished and clean without that feeling that you have rubbed off a layer of skin. I am really enjoying this product and can see what all the hype is about. After using if daily for a few weeks, it definitely evens skin tone and hydrates my face. It’s safe to say this will be a constant repurchase!
Price: £34, it’s a little more expensive than other cleansers but it wouldn’t put me off. It really is worth all the pennies.
Now, through beauty searching I came across another balm on A Model Recommends YouTube channel called Merumaya Melting Cleansing Balm. I had never heard of this brand before and was purely going in curiosity and recommendation.
Packaging: Not as fancy as Emma Hardie, but a convenient tube that is easy to use.
Product: I have been really impressed with this product and find myself mixing between the Emma Hardie Cleaning Balm and this one almost equally. It is very, very similar in texture, possibly a little thinner. Spreads really well and so you don’t need to use much product at all. As it is a melting balm you do feel it, well melting, on your face!
Price: £14.50. More than half the price of the Emma Hardie Balm, and to be honest not that noticeably different! I would recommend this balm to anyone on a big or small budget.
Well, that was a right balm up! No matter what the budget there is a balm for you.
