Frequently Asked Questions

Will an oil balm or balm cleanser leave my skin oily?

No - the right cleansing balm won’t leave your skin greasy.

Cleansing balms (also called oil balms or balm cleansers) use a process called oil exchange. The oils melt into the skin, binding to sunscreen, makeup, and impurities before rinsing away - leaving your skin soft, balanced, and nourished. A good balm cleanser emulsifies with water, so it won’t leave residue. If you feel oily afterwards, it could be due to a compromised skin barrier from over-cleansing or exfoliation, rather than the balm itself. These cleansers are beneficial for all skin types, particularly dry, sensitive, or combination skin types.

Why do I need to apply my cleanser to my face while dry?

Because oil cleansers work best when applied to dry skin first.

Applying with dry hands to a dry face allows the oil to grip makeup, dirt, and sunscreen before water is added. When you introduce water, the cleanser emulsifies (turns milky) and washes everything away. This method ensures a deep, effective cleanse without stripping the skin, ideal for anyone looking for a gentle face cleanser that preserves the skin barrier.

Can I use this cleanser with lash extensions or lifts?

Yes, you can use our cleansers safely while avoiding the eye area.

Our formulas are gentle enough for the face, even if you have lash extensions or lifts. Simply avoid direct contact with your eyes. For removing eye makeup, we recommend pairing your routine with the Smudge Budger microfibre cloth, which can clean delicately around lashes without weakening extensions.

Where should I store my cleanser?

Store your cleanser in a cool, dry place - not in the shower.

Excess water and humidity can dilute your cleanser and reduce its effectiveness. For best results, apply with dry hands before stepping into the shower. This allows the formula to fully adhere to your skin before emulsifying into a silky milk that rinses away impurities. Storing properly also helps preserve your cleanser’s natural and nutritious ingredients.

Why don’t you recommend cleansing in the morning?

Because your skin needs its natural oils during the day.

As part of a Skin Juice skincare routine, we recommend cleansing once daily in the evening. Overnight, your skin produces protective oils and secretions that defend against dryness, irritation, and infection. Washing these away in the morning can weaken your barrier and leave skin vulnerable. Instead, a simple water rinse is enough to prep skin for your morning skincare.
