How do I use the dr althea pure grinding cleansing balm?
Turn the base of the container until a portion of balm comes out on top.
Scoop the balm with your fingers and apply to your dry face.
Massage gently in circular motions over your whole face, including your eyes.
Add a little water: the balm turns into a milky liquid and glides off easily.
Rinse well with lukewarm water.
Follow with a second, lighter Cleanser for a completely clean skin.
After cleansing, your skin is ready for the next step. The Amino Acid Gentle Bubble Cleanser for Dry and Sensitive Skin is a logical second Cleanser: it removes the last balm residues without drying your skin and works well with the balm’s soothing ingredients.
Why does this cleansing balm work so well on sensitive skin?
Your skin feels soft after cleansing and isn’t irritated. This is partly due to centella asiatica, a plant extract that calms redness and supports your skin barrier. Green tea seed oil lightly nourishes the skin and prevents tightness after cleansing.
The balm contains no perfume, making it pleasant for skin that reacts easily. It emulsifies easily with water and leaves no greasy layer. If you are looking for a dr althea make up remover balm that also soothes, this is a solid choice. The Dr. Althea line centres on gentle formulas that remain comfortable with daily use.
Is the Dr. Althea Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm - Hygienic One-Step Makeup Remover - 50ml suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. The balm is fragrance-free, contains soothing plant extracts and light oils that do not burden the skin. People with sensitive or acne-prone skin use it without breakouts or irritation. If you have rosacea or your skin reacts strongly to friction, massage gently and avoid rubbing too hard because of the light exfoliating particles in the formula.
Should I use a second Cleanser after the dr althea cleansing balm?
This is recommended, especially if you have oily or acne-prone skin. A cleansing balm dissolves makeup and sunscreen, but a second light Cleanser removes the last traces of oil completely. If you have dry skin and wear little makeup, you may sometimes skip the second step as long as you rinse well.
Does the dr althea cleansing balm leave a greasy layer?
No, not if you rinse well. The balm turns into a milky liquid upon contact with water and slides off your skin easily. Your skin feels soft after use, but not greasy or heavy. For combination or oily skin, a second Cleanser is wise to make sure everything is gone.
