Charcoal cleansing balm for blackheads: HEEDA Jirisan Moist

Which cleansing balm did I use when skin texture and blackheads concerned me?

My makeup was looking patchy, and I became more conscious of the small bumps around my nose and on my forehead, so I paid closer attention to cleansing and skincare. While trying different cleansing products, I had sometimes found the irritation or cleansing feel disappointing, and I wanted to care for the blackhead-prone areas more thoroughly.

This time, I used HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal Cleansing Balm. It is a black balm formula containing charcoal, so at first I wondered whether color would remain on my face, but it felt as though it melted softly when it touched my skin.

How did I use the cleansing balm?

I scooped out the cleansing balm onto a dry face and first massaged it until it melted with my body heat. I massaged the areas with more blackheads a little longer in circular motions with my fingers, then added a small amount of water to emulsify it thoroughly and rinsed several times with lukewarm water.

The method felt similar to using cleansing oil. The built-in spatula made it convenient to scoop out the balm more hygienically than using my hands directly.

How did my skin feel after cleansing?

After cleansing, my skin felt smoother. The soft balm texture suited me because I needed a cleansing step that let me focus on massaging areas with uneven texture and blackheads.

However, skin condition and reactions can vary from person to person. On days when I was concerned about my skin texture and post-cleansing tightness, I used it by emulsifying it thoroughly and rinsing carefully.
