Hey skincare lovers! Let’s talk about first cleansers—specifically, cleansing balm vs. cleansing oil.


Choosing the right one depends on your skin type and personal preferences, so here’s a quick guide to help you understand the difference between the two!


💗 Cleansing Balm


– Comes in a solid or balm texture


– Melts into an oil when mixed with water


– Exceptionally effective at removing makeup


– Ideal for travel—no spills!


– Works well on all skin types


💧 Cleansing Oil


– Liquid, oil-based formula


– Typically cleans faster than a balm


– More hygienic with pump packaging


– Also suitable for all skin types


Both options are excellent for breaking down makeup and sunscreen. While cleansing balms are perfect for melting away full-face glam with just a small amount, cleansing oils are often better at deep-cleaning pores and lifting stubborn buildup.


Personally, I enjoy using both—depending on my skin’s needs and how heavy my makeup is.


✨ Whether you prefer a balm or an oil, the key is finding what suits your routine best!
