Of all the steps in our skincare routine, cleansing is among, if not the, most important. Because, how can your skincare be doing its job if there's some of the day's makeup and grime in its way? That's exactly why cleansing balms have become the crown jewel of every beauty connoisseur's routine.
With luxe textures and the ability to melt away the day's impurities, formulas designed to sink deep have become a non-negotiable, and a one-way ticket to a cleaner, clearer complexion. No matter how many layers of SPF or mascara you applied earlier, once you start melting it away with a cleansing balm, you'll have changed your routine for the better.
Whether you're looking for an accessible pick or want to splurge on this aspect of your routine, we've found the best makeup-removing cleansing balms to shop for an upgraded skin routine.
