HOW TO REMOVE MAKEUP WITH THE NOURISHING CLEANSING BALM
Share

The Nourishing Cleansing Balm with shea butter + bamboo charcoal removes makeup and impurities while nourishing the skin you’re in.

– KEYS SOULCARE

It’s time for a fresh start! This Nourishing Cleansing Balm + Makeup Remover washes away the day while purifying and moisturizing your skin. Developed in partnership with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Renée Snyder, this luscious balm will be the most luxurious part of your nightly routine. 

“It’s super gentle and just melts away whatever’s on your face!” — Alicia Keys

Bamboo charcoal purifies skin while removing dirt and excess oils, so you’re cleansing while softening and nourishing your skin. To soothe, calm, and hydrate skin, shea butter — a staple in routines dating as far back as Cleopatra — is a key ingredient. This rich butter is derived from the Central African shea tree, plus it’s high in essential fatty acids and antioxidants for a healthier skincare routine. If you’re worried about clogging your pores or causing breakouts, rest assured this blend of oils is non-comedogenic. “I get nervous about shea butter and things like that on my face, but this is dermatologist developed,” Alicia says.

Along with charcoal, Manuka honey is a potent purifier rich in antioxidants. The honey also acts as a humectant by drawing moisture into the skin. Next, a blend of oils envelops your skin while the charcoal cleanses. Sunflower seed oil, a potent oil derived from the sunflower seed, smoothes and moisturizes. Macadamia seed oil, sourced from macadamia nuts, is a quick absorbing oil that helps soften skin.

“Many times a water-based cleanser does not really break up the sunscreen/makeup/sebum and dirt from the day. This gentle, specially-formulated balm breaks down everything, even long-wearing makeup.” Dr. Renée Snyder

Lastly, camellia seed oil is a lightweight silky oil that deeply hydrates skin. The final result? A captivating glow. “Afterwards, your face, when you touch it, feels so magnificent… and it’s not stripping all the good things off of your face,” Alicia says.

How To Use The Nourishing Cleansing Balm:

Make this balm the first part of your nightly ritual to relax and unwind while cleansing the day away. Light your Sage + Oat Milk Candle to bring comfort and clarity. Smooth the cleansing balm onto dry skin, allowing the purifying balm to melt into an oil. Add water and gently massage the oil onto your face and neck, allowing the mix of charcoal and Manuka honey to cleanse and purify your skin while the blend of oils soothe and hydrate. Double cleanse with our Golden Cleanser by pumping the facial cleanser into wet hands and working into a gentle lather. Gently massage over your face and neck in a circular motion, and rinse cleanser and balm residue with warm water.

Follow up by smoothing the Skin Transformation Cream into freshly-cleansed skin, brightening with a mix of malachite and bakuchiol. Indulge even more with the Obsidian Facial Roller for a deep facial massage that shifts you to a place of self love. Finish with the Reviving Aura Mist by spraying the mist generously all over your skin, hair, and shoulders. Remember your mantra, “I can start over at any time.”
