I am sure you’re already aware of cleansing balms and cleansing creams. They are great products when it comes to removing make up and also for double cleansing. I absolutely love using cleansing creams (especially this DIY turmeric cleansing cream that we are talking about today) before bedtime and after I wake up and also to remove make up because the super effective and melt all the make up and dirt easily. All need to do is massage a small quantity of a cleansing balm or cream on your facial skin until it turns into oil and then emulsify it with some water and rinse it off. You can follow up with a facial forming cleanser if you want and this routine is great for dry skin as well as oily to combination skin type.
You can get a cleansing balm or cleansing cream very easily commercially but did you know that you can make your own hundred percent natural cleansing cream at home with the goodness of turmeric? Below I have shared a recipe for turmeric cleansing cream that you should definitely try –
