Dual-Purpose Cleansing Balms

Ode to Self's Bask Cleansing Balm Doubles as a Mask

— September 18, 2020 — Fashion
The Bask Cleansing Balm by Ode to Self takes the form of a gentle, oil-based cleansing balm that can also be used as a face mask treatment. The balm promises to be especially beneficial for those with dry skin, as it is packed with ingredients like juniper berry CO2, antibacterial salicylic acid and skin-hydrating palmarosa plant oil. Some of the other key ingredients are tamanu oil for balancing the skin, sapote seed oil and soursop, which is known for its antiviral and antibacterial properties and its benefits for reducing flare-ups and rashes.

The balm, made from a combination of powerhouse oils, is effective for removing makeup and helping to stop current breakouts and prevent future ones. The multipurpose balm supports supple skin without leaving it feeling heavy or greasy.
