Troubleshooting
Balm does not emulsify properly
Ensure you are using enough water when emulsifying. Add water gradually while massaging until a milky texture is achieved.
Makeup is not fully removed
Ensure you are using an adequate amount of balm and massaging thoroughly to break down all makeup. For very heavy or waterproof makeup, you may need to repeat the process or use a little more product.
Skin feels slightly tight after cleansing
While designed to be hydrating, ensure you follow up with your usual moisturizer. If tightness persists, try using slightly less product or ensure thorough rinsing.
Product feels greasy after rinsing
Ensure you are using a warm, damp cloth to remove all traces of the emulsified balm. If a greasy feel remains, a second cleanse with a gentle foaming cleanser might be necessary for your skin type.
