Cleansing Balm

One of the most common skin imbalances I see is due to “over washing”.  Over cleansing the skin can strip it of the natural oils we all have that protect our skin and keeps it in a healthy functioning state. If this over stripping occurs skin can easily be thrown out of balance in one direction or the other, presenting with more oil production and congestion or resulting in the skin becoming overly dry and taut which can feel and look uncomfortable. This balmy like texture cleanser combines skin loving oil of Apricot, lightweight and high in Vit A and E softens the skin packs the skin with nutrients.  Castor Oil which has a heavier weight to it acts as a cleansing agent for the debris on the surface of the skin while essential oils purify and decongest the pores and encourage a gentle deeper cleaning to the layers of the skin. Blending these oils together are Shea Butter, nourishing, protective and ant inflammatory and plant based wax, which creates a magical milky lather without overwhelming and slowing down the skin.  All of which makes it appropriate for all sorts of skin all year round.
