Redditor Just_Justine93 shared the skincare tip in a post.
They explained that their favorite product is a good cleansing balm.
“I’m a burlesque dancer and when I’m performing and fully made up on stage, I apply a cleansing balm to my dry skin and then wet my skin to emulsify,” they said.
The one-step product removes everything without any hassle.
“Then I take a damp washcloth and wipe it all off my face,” they said.
Any residues or traces of make-up were removed with micellar water.
“If I see some eyeliner and mascara, I’ll use Garnier’s waterproof micellar water,” they said.
Finally, they cleansed their faces again with a foaming cleanser.

“Then I wash my face with a foaming cleanser and do the rest of my nighttime routine,” they said.
Other makeup fans agreed that cleansing balms are the best choice when it comes to a good cleanse.
Although many had a different preference for a particular brand of cleansing balm, their techniques were identical.
“I massaged the Clinique Take The Day Off cleansing balm all over my face, including my eyelids. I really took my time to massage every part of my face,” said one commenter.
“[I] Remove it with a warm cloth wrung out in very warm water. Keep rinsing the cloth until all the balm is gone.
“Dip the cloth in very warm water and use it to remove my mascara (tube mascara is highly recommended).

“Splash with cold water and then clean again with Soy Fresh detergent to remove any residue.
“Finish with another round of cold water. Crystal clear and ready for nighttime products.”
According to one commenter, cleansing balm is an important step in their cleansing routine.
“I use Clean It Cero cleansing balm to remove my makeup and then La Roche Posay cleanser,” they said.
“Actually the balm is the most important part. I used hotel soap afterwards and that worked fine.
“This balm is a godsend for my skin. It removes all my makeup.”
