There are several products that define the beginning of facial care routine. So, we know that healthy and well-groomed skin partly comes from cleansing the face. If we consider that in winter we need the last drop of hydration, I suggest that you use balms for removing makeup and cleansing your face.
Cleansing balms clean makeup, lipstick and dirt on the surface of the skin, but are gentle and contain nutrients with the main task of protecting the skin's surface layer against external influences. The second task, is to create a surface layer that will keep moisture and nutrients inside the skin. Its secondary function is most pronounced in winter, when our skin rapidly loses moisture due to constant temperature changes.
To give you maximum moisture, use cotton fabrics like muslin cloths that are gentle on the skin. The good thing is that they retain impurities in their texture and do extremely light skin scrub. For example, EVE LOM Cleanser, a cult cleanser, comes with its cotton cloths that exfoliates, tones and improves circulation and regenerates the skin. Facial massage also leads to drainage that helps with the problems of water accumulation, distress and fatigue. Warm cloths have a double function - they soften the skin and open the pores, thus help nutrients better absorption.
Darphin Aromatic Cleansing Balm has a bit of firmer texture, but with the addition of water it becomes a milk texture.
Boscia Charcoal Makeup Melter Cleansing Oil Balm contains active carbon that successfully removes all impurities.
Sunday Riley Blue Moon Tranquility Cleansing Balm contains chamomile and is excellent for sensitive and irritated skin. Reduces redness and small inflammatory processes.
