While skin care cream is one of the most popular ways of ensuring our skin is kept in tip-top condition, there are other products available that can offer excellent moisturising, protecting and even cleansing. Skin Balms are often overlooked when it comes to skin care products, as they are thought of as heavy, greasy products but this is far from the reality. With some lovely light textures and divine smells along with a powerful punch of active ingredients, skin balms are a fantastic product to have in your skin care regime, even if you only use them occasionally as a boost for your skin.
Bobbie Brown Extra SPF25 Tinted Moisturising Balm
This is perfect for dry or dehydrated skin, but is lightweight so doesn’t leave your skin feeling clogged and heavy. With a slight tint, this balm is an excellent alternative to foundation, and blends in easily and smoothly leaving a beautifully dewy finish, making you skin look younger and radiant instantly. With a high SPF this balm protects your skin from damaging UVA and UVB rays which it moisturises your skin to keep it hydrated.
The Balm Balms Away Eye Makeup Break-Up
This balm is designed to cleanse your skin thoroughly but gently, with a combination of some fantastic ingredients which form a luxurious, vegan skin cleanser and make up remover. With vitamins A, C and E for moisturising, conditioning and nourishing your skin and plant-derived lipids to help melt away even the most stubborn waterproof make-up. A soft, clear balm that melts easily to smooth away make up with the need for rubbing, it can be used for the whole face, and will even take off lip stains that can sometimes be a nightmare to remove.
Oskia Micro Exfoliating Balm
This is yet another variety of skin balm and is an exfoliating balm, which helps to remove tired and dead skin cells to leave behind fresh, soft skin. The balm also nourishes the skin as it exfoliates with tiny micro-exfoliating beads that are gentle but effective. With some powerful ingredients such as prebiotics and peptides to help keep your skin in perfect heath and MSM repair and regenerating complex, this balm is a great all rounder for your skin. Easy to use and wash off, the balm goes on smoothly and turns to a light milk when in comes into contact with water so it simply rinses away to leave behind soft, clean, glowing skin.
With a balm to suit almost every need, whether it is cleansing, exfoliating, moisturising or giving a light tinted coverage to the skin it is surprising that they are only just becoming popular. As more and more people realise that balms aren’t greasy products that will overload they skin, more and more people will begin to enjoy the benefits of using them. Using something a little different in place of skin care cream can be very beneficial to your skin, and will add a bit of variation to your skin care routine.
