Want to skip a step in your nightly regimen? Makeup melting cleansing balms are the thing these days and they really work. Put a good sized dollop in your hands and mix with a little water to form a milky balm, then wash your face thoroughly. For stubborn waterproof mascara, add a soft washcloth to the mix. Either way, it avoids the use (and cost) of a separate makeup remover. Here are my picks:
Mahalo Skin Care's UNVEIL Cleanser Milk Concentrate: Melts with water and cleans thoroughly without clogging pores. Key ingredients include green tea, papaya, avocado, macadamia, sunflower oil with therapeutic-grade essential oils. Handmade in Kauai, Hawaii.
Trilogy Make-Up Be Gone Cleansing Balm: With skin-soothing mango butter and pure coconut, sunflower and rosehip oils, this thick, golden balm melts with water and leaves your skin supple and super-hydrated.
Charlotte Tilbury Multi Miracle Glow: This luxury 3-in-1 balm works as a cleanser/makeup melt, deep mask a cuticle and dry-skin solution. With organic sea buckhorn seedoil, rosehip and camelia oils and vitamins A and C.
