Cleansing balms are one of the most satisfying parts of a nighttime routine.

There’s something relaxing about watching makeup melt away into a soft, silky texture that leaves the skin fresh and clean. I usually keep at least two open at all times, and these latest additions from Elemis and Tatcha have quickly become favorites!

1. Elemis – Pro-Collagen Summer Bloom Cleansing Balm

This version puts a summer-inspired twist on the classic Pro-Collagen balm. The texture is just as rich, smooth, and luxurious as the original, but it comes with a floral scent that feels bright and refreshing. While it removes makeup well, the fragrance can be a bit much for anyone with scent sensitivities, and it may cause slight irritation around the eyes. For those who enjoy a fragrant cleansing experience, though, it’s a lovely seasonal option.

2. Tatcha – The Indigo Cleansing Balm

A new launch in the Indigo line, this balm is incredibly soft and glides effortlessly across the skin. The formula melts makeup without tugging and has a calming consistency that feels gentle even around the eye area. It emulsifies into a milky wash that rinses clean, making a second cleanse optional.

Cleansing balms make the end of the day feel luxurious, and these two additions bring both comfort and effectiveness to any skincare routine!
