Cleansing balms are a great product to use to dissolve and breakdown products you have applied to the face such as sunscreens and makeup whilst they can also contribute to delivering benefits to the skin depending on the ingredients used. The UpCircle cleansing face balm hosts a cocktail of skin nourishing and calming ingredients in its Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax base whilst the reused, repurposed, and reloved finely-ground powder of discarded apricot stones is featured to aid in healthier skin thanks to its antioxidant vitamin E content. Presented in a glass jar with a screw-off aluminium lid, the balm has a rich yellow colour whilst the welcoming natural fragrance is heavenly and really influences your wellbeing. Applying a coin-sized amount to dry skin all over the face and neck using upward circular motions will help warm the skin and balm to allow the oils to interact and get to work. Removing using a warm muslin cloth or flannel that provides a light exfoliation, the balm provides a thorough cleanse without overstripping to leave the skin feeling softer, smoother, and looking brighter. You can then follow on with your water-based cleanser to perform a double cleanse method that helps your water-based cleanser perform better to remove pore impurities because its not having to work through layers of products, if you use a lot of them. I love how effective but gentle this balm performs each time i have applied it because of its skin-calming blackcurrant seed, blue tansy and sea buckthorn oils and can even be used around the delicate eye area.

The sometimes overlooked skincare product can be used for all skin types (yes even oily) to awaken dull complexions with a natural glow whilst tackling some skin issues you may be facing. The UpCircle organic face serum utilises coffee oil that has been extracted from repurposed grounds to allow this ingredient to be reused and reloved with antioxidant benefits for the skin because of the essential fatty acids, sterols, and vitamin E content.

Presented in a recyclable glass bottle with a pipette for easy dispensing, you only need one/two drops to apply to the face and neck. I was impressed on how quickly this absorbs and leaves skin feeling comforted and nourished that awakens the complexion with a natural glow without any residue leftover because it is texturally lightweight. Applying to a cleansed skin followed by your moisturiser and sunscreen, you can also enjoy this oil if you still want to use your water-based serum and moisturiser, just apply after to seal over these products followed by your chosen spf for a boost of pioneering skincare from UpCircle Beauty.
