Getting your clean on with the affordable Beauty of Joseon Radiance Cleansing Balm

September 19, 2023 Paris B Leave a Comment

I seem to have been talking about cleansing balms before they became a mainstream product, which tells you how long I’ve been around, and how great it is that we now have so many options available to us! I even have a whole Cleansing Balm repository (which I haven’t kept as updated as I should!)

The Korean brands were quite quick to jump on the cleansing balm bandwagon, which underscores their focus on proper cleansing via double cleansing, and how quick they are to pivot to a new formula/trend.

When I bought the famed Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun sunscreen, I put a few things into my cart along with it, and one of it was the Radiance Cleansing Balm. I still double-cleanse daily, and I run through my balm cleansers like water!

Your skincare routine begins when you cleanse: 8 Cleansers I love that I buy over and over and why a good cleanser is important

In the past, when I first started having some interest in skincare, I came across a quote by someone that said “Spend on what you leave on and save on what you wash off” It was something of that ilk.

Essentially, the idea was that when we were balancing our budget for skincare, we should spend more on products like serums and creams, to get the best possible quality since we were leaving it on our skin; and we could save on a product like cleansers, because we’d just be washing them off.

I thought it made sense, so it was something I practised for a while. I’d buy cleansers from the pharmacy, and I’d not consider spending too much money on them. Something that was foamy and cleaned my skin was sufficient, never mind what special ingredients might be in it, because I was going to wash it off anyway.

Much later, I realised that I was wrong about this.

The Elemis Superfood AHA Glow Cleansing Butter cleanses your skin very nicely without stripping or drying it out

When I first came across the (then) new cleansing butter from Elemis, I was very intrigued. I am a huge fan of the Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, and I currently have 2 in my backup stash. I love the texture of it, the scent, and how it leaves my skin feeling clean, yet moisturised and soft. There is nothing I hate about it at all!

Naturally, I had to eventually get around to trying the Elemis Superfood AHA Glow Cleansing Butter. It claims to clean and brighten skin, while nourishing the skin, and it is so highly raved about, I had to see what the fuss was about! 🙂

The triphase REN Perfect Canvas Clean Jelly Oil Cleanser does it all but still leaves me wanting

The REN Perfect Canvas Clean Jelly Oil Cleanser is one I’ve been wanting to try for the longest time. Ever since they launched it a few years ago in fact.

REN Skincare is one brand I used to love using, but I will admit that its fascination has palled somewhat for me in recent times. When I was first introduced to it over 10 years ago, it was fresh, exciting and I loved everything I tried. It had passion behind it.

I have noticed that over the years, and especially since it’s been bought over by Unilever, It has become a little unpredictable. Time was that I would love everything that they put out, because it just made sense. But I have to confess that their recent offerings have been rather bland, unexciting, and unfortunately for me, uninspiring.

Which brings me to the Perfect Canvas Clean Jelly Oil Cleanser.
