Everything You Need to Know About a Cleansing Balm

Cleansing Balms are rapidly rising in popularity as a refreshing way to rinse the day away and leave your skin feeling revived! As we work our way through the Moisturizing Collection series, we thought May was the perfect time to dive deep into Lift Away, our oh-so-soothing and delicately lightweight cleansing balm, as an energizing alternative (or addition) to your usual cleansing routine. Let's discover why balm is bomb this summer.

Lift Away is a lightweight, non-foaming cleanser that lifts and dissolves makeup and impurities from the skin while maintaining barrier health and promoting a smooth, glowing complexion.

Ingredients To Love


Mangosteen
Containing natural antibacterial properties, this super-fruit helps clear and prevent acne as it cleanses the skin of environmental toxins and debris. It is also rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties to promote healing and repair of skin cells and prevent free-radical damage.

Elderberry Fruit Juice
Holds extremely high levels of bioflavonoids to enhance the skin's immune function as well as provide antioxidant protection. It also plays the role of a natural detoxifier, helping to defend the skin against environmental stressors that can cause wrinkles and age spots.

A Cleansing Balm's Role in Your Skincare Routine

Cleansing Balms serve as a great first cleanse, followed by a more invigorating wash if you feel your skin needs it. It also can be used as a makeup remover or a quick, refreshing single cleanse especially during the summer months when you may just want a light rinse as opposed to a heavy, involved routine. The main benefit of a Cleansing Balm is to increase moisture as it contains many hydrating ingredients that instantly melt into the skin to offer a splash of moisture for a revived finish without the tightness!

Summer Skincare for Your Teen!


Do you remember your skincare routine from your teenage years? It's enough to make you want to scream a little in fear... Bar soap, sometimes no soap, and pounds of makeup. Yep, we remember those days well which is why we have devised some simple, fun routines for your teen to start positive skincare habits now. Their skin will thank them 30 years from now!

Even if your teen has great, clear skin it is still important to implement a routine into their daily life. They may not need as many steps as, say we... whose age shall not be mentioned do, but they can still get some strong results to maintain their healthy skin.

If your teen has troubled skin, we've got them covered as well. Read on to find out which routine is best for your teen, then bribe them anyway you can into using it! (we think video games or shoes work best).

Normal/balanced skin maintenance:



Purify
Clear
Replenish
Protect

Troubled/unbalanced skin treatment:



Deep Clean
Clarify
Clear Plus
Rescue
Protect
Skin Perfection Harmonized Water

If you'd like to introduce supplement habits with your teen, take a look at our internal wellness supplements including DIM which helps with hormonal skin troubles and any of our Harmonized Waters!

It is so important to teach your teens about positive and healthy habits, whether with food, hydration, exercise, work ethic and so on, we sometimes forget about the importance of healthy skin habits. Each routine features sun protection, which should be an important daily habit of you and your teen. Teaching them about keeping clean, clear skin can help boost confidence and boost the importance of self care and keep their skin from going off the rails later in life (adult acne anyone)? This summer is great timing to get them into a good skincare regimen.
