What texture is the HEEDA charcoal cleansing balm?
As I became more interested in skincare, I started paying closer attention to cleansing on days when I wore makeup and sunscreen. The product I used was HEEDA Jirisan Moist Charcoal Cleansing Balm 100ml.
The original product description mentioned Jirisan charcoal, camellia oil, jojoba seed oil, green tea water, and rice bran extract, among other ingredients. The packaging was fairly clean-looking, and it seemed easy enough to pack for travel.
Was storing the spatula convenient?
It came with a built-in spatula, so I could use it without scooping the product out directly with my hands. In particular, the spatula could be stored using the lid, so I had less to worry about than if I stored it separately and lost it.
How does the balm change while cleansing?
When I applied the balm to my skin and massaged it in, it melted smoothly with my body heat and turned into an oil-like texture. When I then added water and massaged again, it emulsified into a milky texture.
I tend to find the lingering feeling after using cleansing oil uncomfortable, but with this product, I did not notice much of that residue based on how it felt to me. It left my skin feeling moisturized after washing.
My cleansing routine
- I applied the cleansing balm to my skin and massaged it in thoroughly.
- I added water and massaged thoroughly through the emulsifying step as well.
- I finished lightly with a gentle cleansing foam.
- After washing, I applied moisturizing products.
