I do not use anything else to remove my mascara anymore. Ever since my friend Kayla got this for me for my birthday, this is all I have used. It is honestly so gentle on the eyelashes, and is an oil base. You apply it like mascara, leave it on for a few minutes, and then wash it off. The best thing is, there is never any mascara or residue left afterwards. No more rubbing at your eyes, no more pulling out your lashes, and no more pulling at your skin!
This cleansing balm is actually one of the best things known to man. I hate wipes because they always leave a sticky film over my skin, they are really harsh on the eyelashes, and they just don’t remove all the makeup. So once I have left the melt off mascara on for a few minutes, I will take a little bit of this balm (and a little bit goes a long way!), and massage it all over my skin. This balm is so gentle, and leaves the skin feeling soft and cleansed. To remove it I use a hot damp flannel, and gently wipe it off my skin.
Although the cleansing balm doubles as a cleanser, I prefer to stick with one product for each step. Having acne prone skin means you can never be too careful! But because I have cystic acne, my dermatologist (in more technical terms than the following) said that the infection is deep within the skin and is more solidified than a general spot that lyes only a layer or two under the skins surface. So in order to combat those cysts, milk cleansers are holy grails. Specifically this one in my case. This gentle milk cleanser helps break up the cysts allowing them to either surface or calm down and pi*s off (!), without causing further infection. In other words this is my HOLY GRAIL. (I also remove this with a hot damp flannel!)
Onto exfoliation! I have not used a physical exfoliant in years, to name a few reasons; too harsh, spreads infection, tears the skin, causes premature wrinkles, and causes sensitive skin (to name a few!). Physical exfoliants are basically an acne girls worst enemy. This chemical exfoliant works like a face mask, you pop it on for about 15 minutes, and then wash it off. To wash it off, I also use a hot flannel (the same as the previous steps), as this helps to open up the pores for the next step…
During the winter my skin gets really dry, and is just begging for some moisture, and these sheet masks do exactly that! I get these at The Face Shop and they only cost $3 which is an absolute bargain. It is a Korean brand, so I truly trust them when it comes to skincare! My skin just loves these masks, and soaks up all the serum within the sheet. If you can get your hands on them, I really recommend them, they have all sorts of different types from anti-aging, to radiance, brightening, firming, pore care (another favourite) and so many more! As much as I love mud masks and the ones that come in squeezy tubes, my skin just craves these in winter.
Origins High Potency Night-A-Mins Renewal Cream – night moisturizer
I think that just about wraps up my good ‘ol skincare pamper routine. I like to do this twice a week, exfoliating once a week, since that is what my dermatologist recommends!
Hustle Hard Girl,
Hi! I’ve never heard about the “mascara melt off”, but I’m very tempted to search for it now! I wear mascara a lot and to take it off is always a struggle because as you said, it always leaves residue in the lashes! Xoxo
You definitely should try it! I personally love it, and it is so easy as all you do is leave it on for a bit, then wipe it off! xx
that mascara melt off looks interesting!

Yes! I absolutely love the cleansing balm! The night moisturizer is amazing too! xx
Haha, you labelled the cleansing balm as Clarins instead of Clinique. That's one of my favourite cleansers! I love a heavy moisturizer so I'll definitely check this one out.
