Dry-skin cleansing balm, two jars: HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal

Why am I on my second jar as someone with dry skin?

I used to double cleanse only on days when I wore makeup, but now I use both cleansing balm and cleansing foam even on days when I wear only sunscreen. I previously used cleansing oil, but I worried about whether I had rinsed it thoroughly, so I often over-cleansed and my skin felt drier.

After trying a cleansing balm borrowed from a friend while traveling, I started using cleansing balms for their convenience and the moisturized feeling after washing. The HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal Cleansing Balm is a product I used until I could see the bottom of the jar, and I am now using my second one.

What are the texture and components like?

The product is a black, soft balm. The solid balm melted smoothly on my skin and turned into an oil.

A spatula is included, so I could scoop it out more hygienically and store it attached to the lid.

How did I cleanse with it?

First, I washed and completely dried my hands, then used the spatula to scoop out an appropriate amount and apply it to my skin. I massaged it until the balm became like an oil, and I sometimes left it on for about three minutes at this stage.

Next, I added water and emulsified it thoroughly. I massaged until the black balm turned grayish, then rinsed several times with lukewarm water. Afterwards, I followed with a second cleanse using cleansing foam.

How did it handle eye makeup, and how did my skin feel afterward?

My eyes tend to smudge easily, so I use dark eyeliner, but I felt it washed off with almost no trace left after cleansing. Because I have dry skin, I often feel tightness immediately after washing, but I was satisfied because my skin felt moisturized after using this product.

The product is described as using Jirisan charcoal. The original post's statements about absorbing sebum and impurities and balancing oil and moisture relate only to ingredient characteristics. The original post also introduced it as first place in the 2024 Hwahae Vegan Awards, second half of the year.
