Am I use the balm in a right way?

Los Angeles
5/27 Edited to

... Read moreWhen it comes to using a cleansing balm, the key is to follow a multi-step process that ensures all makeup and impurities are effectively removed without stripping your skin. First, avoid using too much balm; a small amount is often enough to cover your face. Applying excess balm can feel greasy and make the cleansing process longer. Start with a dime-sized amount and gently massage it onto your dry face. This helps to melt away makeup and sunscreen effectively. Next, as the balm begins to break down your makeup, add a little water to your fingertips and continue massaging. This emulsifies the balm, transforming it into a milky texture that lifts away dirt and oil more efficiently. It’s an important step that balances cleansing and hydration. Finally, thoroughly rinse your face with lukewarm water to remove all residue. Some people like to use a soft washcloth for an extra gentle cleanse. From personal experience, following these precise steps not only leaves the skin feeling clean and refreshed but also avoids dryness or irritation often caused by harsh cleansers. Taking time to melt the makeup and emulsify the balm with water really makes a noticeable difference in skin softness and cleanliness.

I made my own lip balm using Beeswax, shea butter and cocoa butter. It was so simple and only took 10 mins. The smallest amount made 6 containers. My lips have been chapped and being that my skin is sensitive, regular chapstick makes it worse. I can tag the products if you'd like, just com
