What exactly is the difference between a water-based face wash, oil cleanser and cleansing balm? And when do you choose which?
Water-based Face Wash
A water-based face wash, like Torriden DIVE-IN Cleansing Foam, gently removes dirt and excess oil without drying. It is perfect for daily cleansing, light makeup, and sensitive skin types.
Oil Cleansing
Oil cleansers, such as SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil, work on the principle that "oil dissolves oil". It effortlessly removes makeup, sunscreen and excess sebum and is ideal as the first step in your double cleansing routine and for oily skin types.
Cleansing Balm
Cleansing balms like Dr. Althea Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm and House of Hur Purifying Cleansing Balm transform from a balm to a gentle oil. They are perfect for stubborn makeup and provide intensive hydration without leaving your skin feeling tight.
