6 very good reasons to adopt cleansing balm
Removing makeup is a crucial step in any skincare routine. With so many options available — from micellar waters to cleansing milks and wipes — it can be hard to choose the right one. For us, there's no doubt: a cleansing balm is the way to go.
More than just a trend, the cleansing balm has established itself as the most effective, gentlest and most nourishing solution. A treatment that deserves pride of place in your beauty routine — it's so game-changing that once you adopt it, you'll wonder how you ever did without.
1. Unmatched Gentleness for the Skin
Unlike some makeup removers that can dry out the skin, a cleansing balm has a rich texture that melts on contact with the skin, delivering an immediate feeling of comfort. It's perfect for all skin types, even the most sensitive, since it doesn't require aggressive rubbing.
2. Effective Even on Waterproof Makeup
Cleansing balms are particularly effective at removing even the most stubborn makeup, including waterproof formulas. Thanks to their solid-oil-based formula, they dissolve makeup deeply and effortlessly (oil-on-oil).
3. Nourishes and Protects the Skin Barrier
The unique texture of a cleansing balm not only cleanses the skin but also helps nourish and protect the skin barrier. This prevents the tight, uncomfortable feeling that can sometimes follow makeup removal.
4. A Moment of Sensory Well-Being
The cleansing balm turns the simple act of removing makeup into a wellness ritual. Its melting texture, delicate scent, and gentleness offer a soothing sensory experience — ideal for winding down at the end of the day.
5. Suits All Skin Types
Cleansing balms, contrary to popular belief, aren't reserved for dry skin. They also suit combination-to-oily skin, since the oils in the balm cleanse deeply without disrupting the skin's natural sebum production.
6. An Eco-Friendly, Minimalist Gesture
By choosing a cleansing balm, you're also making a more eco-friendly choice. No more piles of single-use cotton pads! A balm is applied directly to the skin with your fingers and rinsed off with warm water, which emulsifies it — reducing your environmental footprint.
Conclusion
Adopting a cleansing balm means choosing a gentle, effective, nourishing treatment that respects your skin. Turn your daily routine into a moment of relaxation and care with "Le Baume Évanescent" by Hendiya®, the silky cleansing balm with wild chamomile extract, enriched with natural, soothing ingredients that respect and protect sensitive skin — the perfect ally for clean, soft, deeply nourished skin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a cleansing balm enough on its own, or do I need double cleansing?
A cleansing balm very effectively removes makeup and the day's oily impurities (oil-on-oil). For perfectly clean skin, especially in the evening, we recommend following it with a lighter second cleanse using La Lotion Tisane or Le Gel Pureté, to free the pores of any residue and optimize the absorption of the treatments applied afterward.
How do you properly use a cleansing balm?
Take a hazelnut-sized amount of balm in the palm of your hand, warm it up, then massage it onto dry skin, including the eyes and lips. Emulsify with a little warm water to turn the balm into a milky lotion, then rinse off or remove with a cotton pad.
Can a cleansing balm cause breakouts (is it comedogenic)?
Le Baume Évanescent is formulated to avoid clogging pores: once emulsified with water, its texture rinses off completely without leaving a greasy film, making it suitable for combination-to-oily skin as well as dry or sensitive skin.
