Kissimmee Vitamin F Therapy Balmy Wash

What it is: A reparative cleansing salve that dissolves makeup and daily grime while hydrating your skin.

Who it's for: Dry skin types, or those who need step one in a double cleanse.

What it does: When your skin is chronically dry, or just dry right now, you need a wash that won’t suck the life out of your already-parched face. If you want bouncy, glowing skin that lasts, it all starts with your wash (the wrong one can leave you looking and feeling like dried-out paper). HoliFrog blended together the best moisture-preserving ingredients they could find and left out anything that could potentially disrupt the skin barrier, like essential oils and sulfates.

How to use: Massage on dry skin in slow circular motions. Take your time, it’s sinking in. Since Kissimmee is 85% oil content, you’ve got to emulsify properly in order to lift the oil off your skin. A quick rinse the way you would with a water-based formula is not going to do the trick and you will be left with sticky, greasy residue. The best technique? Think of washing with Kissimmee like cleaning up salad dressing that spilled on the tile floor—you can’t just splash it with water. You’ve got to do about 2–3 separate layers of massaging warm water over the oil to emulsify. Once you’ve done that, a final rinse ensures you’ve whisked all the emulsified oil/water (which at that point looks and feels like a milky gel) off your face, leaving you with clean and supple skin.
