As someone with a very basic skincare routine, I was late to the party in discovering cleansing balms. For my birthday this year, my lovely friend gifted me the Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Cleansing Balm after swearing by it. And it's since become a skincare must-have.
The revelation of not having to use harsh soaps on my face led me to try several other brands' cleansing balms over the course of the year. And notable mentions go to the Inkey List Oat Cleansing Balm (which is fantastic for its £9 price tag), and Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, but neither top Estée Lauder's offering.
