Charcoal cleansing balm for dehydrated skin: HEEDA Jirisan

How was a charcoal cleansing balm for dehydrated skin?

My skin tends to lack moisture, so I consistently pay attention to blackheads, whiteheads, and pore care. After trying several products, I found cleansing balms worked best for me for makeup removal and pore care, so this time I tried HEEDA Charcoal Cleansing Balm.

On hot days, makeup would wear off with sweat and make my skin condition stand out more, so I was especially concerned with taking care of it. This product felt like it melted softly on contact with body heat, and it left my skin feeling moisturized.

How did I use it?

Using the included spoon, I scooped out the product and spread it evenly over my dry face. I massaged in circular motions with my fingers, focusing on areas where blackheads and pores bothered me, and rubbed a little more over areas with heavier makeup.

Then I wet my hands to emulsify it, rinsed with lukewarm water, and did a second cleanse with cleansing foam. On days with lots of fine dust, I washed more carefully in this order, and I used it about three times a week.

How did my makeup and skin texture feel after about two weeks?

After using it for about two weeks, makeup felt less like it was settling into my pores than before. My skin texture felt smoother, as though sebum had been managed, and it felt the same way to the touch.

Still, I think blackhead and pore care is not something that ends with one use; consistent care is important. If, like me, you have dehydrated skin and are concerned about sebum, this could suit you when you want a moisturizing feel during the cleansing step.
