Cleansing Balm And Makeup Remover
In Korea, cleansing balms are a firm favourite for removing make-up: they’re so effective and feel so pleasant that you won't want to use anything else in your Korean double-cleansing routine. Even the most stubborn make-up, long-lasting lipstick and waterproof mascara won’t stand a chance! Say goodbye in a flash with the best Korean cleansing balms at MiiN.

How do you use Korean facial cleansing balm?
Apply a small amount of balm to your dry face with clean hands. Massage gently, spreading it over your face and eye area. Wet your hands and keep massaging: the balm texture will emulsify with the water, turning into a smooth oil that will melt away your make-up. If you need to, use a cleansing cloth or pads to completely remove all traces of dirt and make-up. Then simply rinse well and continue with your Korean facial skincare routine.
Why should you use Korean cleansing balm?
The Korean facial skincare routine takes double cleansing really seriously. In Korea, they’re pioneers in developing specific cleansers for each skin type, which are always gentle on sensitive skin and have the most amazing highly effective formulas!
Whether you wear make-up every day or just occasionally, choosing a Korean cleansing balm will ensure an effective double cleanse to make the most of your skincare routine.
Differences between Korean cleansing oils and balms
Although both are part of an effective Korean double-cleansing routine, they have their differences. Cleansing oils are more fluid and rinse off almost instantly, so oily skin tends to prefer their lighter texture, whereas Korean cleansing balms are thicker and creamier, tend to be more effective at removing heavy make-up than oils, and generally leave the face feeling softer and more moisturised, which is why sensitive, dry or dehydrated skin will enjoy Korean cleansing balms more.
It all depends on your preference and skin type!
