A Can’t-Skip Cleansing Ritual
I fully subscribe to the double cleansing hype, using the first step to remove SPF, make-up and dirt, and the second to clean and replenish my skin. The Indigo Cleansing Balm melts instantly on contact with skin and removes even the most stubborn of mascara without stinging my sensitive eyes. It’s no wonder, as the indigo used from the Yoshino River in Japan helps soothe irritation and strengthen the skin barrier. The balm is best applied to dry skin, emulsified with a little water and removed with a damp cotton cloth. For my second evening cleanse, I’ll reach for the Rice Polish, an enzyme cleanser that starts as a powder and transforms into a creamy foam when mixed with water. Although it’s an exfoliant, it’s gentle enough to use daily; my skin always feels refreshed and pepped up after using.
