Pollution Defence Cleansing Balm (Suitable for Dry, Sensitive, Psoriasis, Eczema prone skin)(30gm)

Pollution Defence Cleansing Balm is for all the double cleanser fans out there. We have to say pollution is our number one nemesis when it comes to our skincare routine. So borrowing from the traditional concept of oil cleansing, our Pollution Defence Cleansing Balm will remove every trace of makeup and environmental pollution, making it a perfect first-layer cleanser. This balm is made entirely of plant-derived ingredients and works really hard for you.

This nourishing cleansing balm is what your skin needs when it is going through ailments like Eczema, Psoriasis, and Rosacea. The blend of oils and butter forms a protective layer whilst gently cleaning your pores and skin.

One need not use a large quantity of Pollution Defence Cleansing Balm to get sought-after results. All you need to do is:
Step 01: Spread a pea-sized portion on your wet face
Step 02: Gently massage it for about a minute with a special focus on blackheads and whiteheads prone areas on your face
Step 03 (optional): Use steam or massage with a washcloth dipped in hot water for about a minute if blackheads are stubborn. Avoid this step if you have sensitive skin.

Step 04: Rinse it and gently wipe off with a soft cloth

If you have active acne, we suggest you start by using it once a week, and gradually increase the frequency.

This balm is safe for lip and eye makeup removal.

We would suggest you use 2 drops of the Mesmerising African Black Cleansing Potion after using the Pollution Defence Cleansing Balm to complete the double cleansing process. And while following the OC 5-step ritual for your respective skin type, use this balm as step 01.
