My new K-Beauty cleanser is simple but effective

Solid balms are my favourite kind of facial cleanser. They’re rich, remove (almost) any make-up and something about them slows me down. I’m currently testing the Radiance Cleansing Balm from the Korean skincare brand Beauty of Joseon. So far, everything I’ve tried from the brand has been a hit. Their cleansing balm is no exception.

The oil-based facial cleanser has a sorbet-like texture and melts into a delicate oil as soon as you massage it into your dry face. It can easily remove excess sebum, dirt and make-up. You can even get your waterproof mascara off without irritating your eyes. And that mucky layer balms like these leave behind – the one that makes your vision blurry after you’ve removed the make-up from your eyes? It’s surprisingly minimal here. However, if you really can’t stand it, it’s better to use a separate eye make-up remover. After you’ve worked the balm in thoroughly with circular movements, simply rinse it off with lukewarm water. Et voilà! Your skin is clean, it doesn’t feel dry nor tight and there’s no greasy film.

The formula is fragrance-free and enriched with rice bran, a by-product of rice processing rich in amino acids and minerals that moisturise the skin. A spatula for scooping out the balm is included for added hygiene.

Tip: If you like to wear a lot of make-up and apply a generous amount of sunscreen in the morning, I recommend incorporating the Radiance Cleansing Balm in the first step of a double-cleansing routine. This way you can be sure that no residue whatsoever is left on your skin.
