One thing I love to do every single evening, in fact it’s a little bit of a ritual of mine, is to double cleanse. I find it’s the best way to get my skin prepped and ready for any serums and moisturisers I want to put on that evening. And one cleansing balm I’m loving at the moment is the endota Ceramide Cleansing Balm.
From endota’s Organics line, it’s called the Ceramide Cleansing Balm. And what I love about this cleansing balm is not just the smell — which really, really adds to the ritual of cleansing every evening, but also that it is enriched with ceramides which are really great for protecting our skin barrier and making sure our skin is super hydrated. It’s also dosed with hemp seed oil, which is high in fatty acids and super nourishing for the skin, and willow bark extract, which has an exfoliating property that leaves our skin beautiful and smooth.

I love to use a cleansing balm as my first cleanse, applying directly onto dry skin. I start by working the product into my skin, gently passing over my eyes and eyelashes to get rid of any mascara. I find remnants of any makeup, SPF and grime of the day melt away with ease. When you’re ready to take the product off, just put a little bit of water onto your face to really lather up the product. One thing you do need for a balm cleanser because it is oil-based, is to pat down with a cloth — I love the muslin offering that comes with this product. And voila! Skin is left squeaky clean and firm. If you love a ritual at night, you’re going to love this.
