How did I use HEEDA Charcoal Cleansing Balm?
When I opened the top of the lid, there was a spatula inside. I scooped out one scoop, applied it to my face, and gently massaged it for about 30 seconds. Then I added water to emulsify it and rinsed several times.
It was a black solid balm at first, but when it touched my skin, it melted softly and turned oil-like. I felt that one scoop was an appropriate amount for applying over my face.
How did it feel on color makeup and around the nose?
I wrote that its glossy yet soft texture removed color makeup relatively easily and quickly. After massaging for 30 seconds and rinsing, I felt that the blackheads around my nose looked less noticeable and my skin looked clearer.
How did it finish after cleansing?
I felt that it finished fresh, without the sticky residue typical of oils. After cleansing, there was also a cooling sensation, as if the heat in my face had gone down.
Can it be used on the body too?
The original post says that if back acne or chest acne is a concern, it can be used once a week as a body pack. However, the use I personally experienced in this post was facial cleansing.
