With Clinique Take Off The Day Cleansing Balm…
Every Day Is A Balmy Day!
I looove the balmy days of summer! And so does my skin. It’s just so much easier to maintain moisture when the weather is warm.
Then comes winter and ruins everything.
My skin gets incredibly dry, which means switching to a gentle cleanser that removes makeup without removing all traces of moisture from my skin. Because I won’t have much to spare.
Now every day can be a balmy day! I’ve been using Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm. It’s like no cleanser I’ve tried before.
WHAT is Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm?
It’s a balm! It comes in a jar as a solid balm. You scoop a little out, apply it to your face, and it melts into a soothing oil. I know this sounds greasy, and it feels like that at first. Then it rinses clean! Clean I tell you! With no oily residue or “filmy” feeling you can get from other gentle cleansers. I use a washcloth with this, and there is not a trace of makeup left on my skin.
WHAT DOES IT REMOVE? (See Video Below)
- Eye Makeup
- All Face Makeup (including waterproof concealer in the video)
- SUNSCREEN (which causes me break outs)
- Dirt / Pollutants
There is no scent to the balm. It’s gentle, but really gets rid of all traces of makeup. In the video you see it easily removed long-wear cream shadow, waterproof concealer, and long wear lip color.
It does not feel like cold cream or other greasy makeup removers. It rinses off easily and you feel clean, without the tight, dry-skin feeling.
I’ll be using this cleansing balm all winter, so even when the temperature drops…
My skin will look like it’s still the balmy days of summer.
Could have used darker make up as example, and how is this any different from my solid coconut oil it does exact same this this does ???
Hi Rose,
Thanks for your comment. I thought that matte lip cream I used was pretty dark. I was trying to use some of my most stubborn makeup to remove. This cleanser rinses off easily and does not leave an oily feeling on my skin. I would say that’s the main difference between this product and solid coconut oil for me. Also, I think it takes my makeup off with less effort. If you like a little more oil on your face after you wash it, then coconut oil is perfect for you. The Clinique balm rinses clean yet still leaves me feeling moisturized.
