Using this cleansing balm is a breeze. First, make sure your hands are dry. Scoop out an appropriate amount of the balm and gently massage it onto your dry face, including areas with heavy makeup and blackheads. The balm will quickly break down the makeup and loosen the blackheads. Then, wet your hands and continue massaging to emulsify the balm. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. As for precautions, avoid getting the balm into your eyes. If it does, rinse immediately with plenty of water. To maintain its quality, store it in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight.
