Cleansing balm for winter tightness: HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal

What was this cleansing balm like for winter?

In winter, cold winds and indoor heating make me more conscious of dryness, so I paid close attention to my cleansing routine too. Oils tend to bring on breakouts for me, perhaps because of their oily feel, so this time I used HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal Cleansing Balm.

I expected it to be firm at first, but it spread softly once it met my skin’s warmth. The packaging said it uses eco-friendly materials and soy ink.

Was the spatula convenient to use?

The spatula was attached to the top of the lid, so I did not need to keep track of it separately. I found it convenient because I could use the product without scooping it out with my hands.

How did I emulsify the cleansing balm?

After the balm melted into an oil-like texture with my body heat, I added lukewarm water and massaged as it emulsified. I used my fingertips rather than my nails, massaging my entire face thoroughly and gently.

• I spread the balm gently over my face.
• I added lukewarm water, emulsified it, and massaged it in.
• I cleansed with my fingertips to reduce irritation.

How tight did my skin feel after cleansing?

For me, my skin did not feel especially tight after cleansing. I used it as part of my daily cleansing routine, hoping it would help with skin texture, sebum, and blackheads.

What should you keep in mind while using it?

I was careful while using it because I was told that it may stain clothing if it is left on the fabric.
