Ginger Turmeric Cleansing Balm (Nordstrom Exclusive) $127 Value

What it is: A Nordstrom-exclusive cleansing balm that effectively removes makeup, sunscreen and dirt—no moisture.

What it does: There's no need to double-cleanse. This natural, moisturizing cleansing balm effectively removes makeup, sunscreen, dirt and impurities while nourishing the skin so it's left clean, smooth and pillow-soft. Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) can be the result of a compromised skin barrier. Conventional cleansers may be formulated with harsh surfactants that can strip the skin's moisture, which can make TEWL worse. That's why True Botanicals replaced harsh surfactants like sulfates with biocompatible, makeup-melting yucca extract. Potential irritants and synthetic ingredients like fragrances and silicones are replaced with skin-coddling turmeric and ginger-root oil. Lactic acid and azaelic acid gently exfoliate to reveal a brighter glow.

How to use: Scoop the balm with the spatula and apply directly to dry skin. Massage all over your face, even your eyelids, in circular motions until you feel your makeup dissolve into the balm oils. Next, add warm water and watch the balm transform into a milky lather as you continue to massage. Rinse with cool water. No need to double-cleanse. It can be used daily.
