Cleansing balm for dry skin in your 40s: HEEDA Jirisan Charcoal

How did it feel on dry skin in my 40s?

I tried this product because I was concerned about dryness after cleansing, pores, and blackheads. The firm balm melted softly on my skin, making it easy to massage, and it felt moisturizing even when applied to dry skin.

After washing, I felt less tightness in my skin. I was pleased that removing makeup felt less burdensome on my skin.

How did I use the cleansing balm?

• I scooped out one spoonful of cleansing balm with the spatula.
• I applied it to my skin and massaged until it turned into an oil.
• I moistened my fingertips with a little water and continued massaging to emulsify it.
• I finished by rinsing several times with lukewarm water.

It started as a black charcoal formula, but turned white as I massaged and emulsified it. The visible change in texture made the process interesting.

How did I use it for blackheads and skin texture?

About once a week, I gently massaged the blackhead-prone areas for two to three minutes. When I used it instead of a scrub or peeling product, it felt less irritating, and the sebum between my pores seemed reduced, leaving my skin texture feeling smoother.
