Beauty Balm

I don’t tend to write reviews here much. This is a product I’ve been using for years. I’ve tried others but have always gone back to this. I love the company ethics- they grow the herbs themselves. I love the consistency and how concentrated it is. I always get compliments on my skin- probably due to many factors but I think this product definitely helps. Unlike creams it is not water based and doesn’t dry my skin out. It’s lovely for your elbows and sometime I use it for the ends of my hair. Just gorgeous all round and smells great too. I seem to break out if I use anything else so I think my skin is very happy with this. I feel very relaxed too when I apply it before bed. Will be buying straight from manufacturer now so more moneys go to them rather than the big bad boys of amazon

Before I bought this product, I had been using a small pot of Elemis cleansing balm that I got for Christmas for my skin-cleaning needs. It lasted a good three months, but when it came to replacing it I saw it was going to set me back £40 and that does /not/ work on a student budget. I shopped around for another balm that contained a similarly high-quality list of ingredients with a nicer price--tag and Lyonsleaf had good reviews. Honestly, it's as good if not better than Elemis. If you personally like using cleansing balms then this is a brilliant buy. I apply it morning and night and rub it off with a flannel, and it leaves my skin feeling clean and moisturised. It's also brilliant for taking off makeup. It smells nice, is easy to use, and I find it's a much better alternative to the myriad of face washes I've been using on my spot-prone skin for years. I purchased this nearly two months ago and I don't think I'm yet to use even a third of it. Whether you're new to cleansing balms or you've been using them for years, I'd definitely recommend giving this one a go. It feels strange at first to be covering your face in oil (I have oily, spotty skin - why would I want more oil on it??) but it melts off dirt and doesn't leave a residue. The fact that you're no longer totally stripping your face of its natural oils as you would using an SLS-containing face wash means your pores will over time stop overproducing oil to replenish it's 'lost' coating every day. Using this in combination with rubbing it off with a flannel also provides gentle exfoliation that I find much more effective than microbead-containing washes - which also happen to be atrocious for the environment.

Generally, I love this cleanser! It's buttery and quickly melts into an oil when rubbed on the skin, it takes off all of my makeup, it helps my acne to heal, and it doesn't smell unpleasant! I even use it to moisturise sometimes due to the fantastic ingredients (which include babassu oil and shea butter). The only reason why I've knocked off one star is that it can sometimes be a pain to remove and requires lots of wiping with a wet flannel (it's almost impossible to emulsify and wash off with water), which means that my sensitive skin can get a little sore, especially as I double cleanse. If you don't double cleanse, or if your skin isn't sensitive (and especially if it's dry!), I'd 100% recommend giving this a go!

I absolutely love this balm to remove make up. Smells great and is really effective at removing every bit. It leaves my face soft and does not cause breakouts. I also use it as a moisturiser and lip balm. Great for sensitive skin.

I absolutely love this brand. I usually order directly but needed a quicker delivery this time. I use this balm in the evening, smells lovely and gives my skin a lovely healthy glow after it's sunk in a little bit. I travel a lot so it's brilliant to use as a cleanser too. Fantastic quality for the price and lasts for ages.

I love this! I've always had very oily skin with big pores that flaked around my nose and made my make up look awful.. even when I exfoliated or used my clairisonic cleansing brush I could never get rid of it... until this!!! Now I realise how misinformed I was about not using oil for oily skin.. it was oil I must have needed all along! My skin is smooth! The flakes have gone & it all looks so hydrated even my chapped lips are better! Great u can use this as both a cleanser AND a moisturiser too. All natural! Perfect! Lovely smell! U don't need much either so I feel mine will last ages.. I put a little on my fingers, rub them together then apply to a DRY face and rub all over in small circles.. then using a Muslin cloth soaked in hand hot water place over face for about a minute then use it to rub in small circles off the cleanser. It won't sometimes even need moisturising but if it does, add tiny amount as a moisturiser too. Thank you to whoever made this (the sticker on bottom says made with love :) )

I am in love with it. I have suffered from acne since I was 13. I have tried pretty much everything I could lay my hands on that mentioned it could help acne prone skin. Most of the acne products do some good but are quite drying for the skin.My mum promised the acne would wither away once I am past my teen age. I am 33 now. I have skin on the oilier side. It has its good days and bad days. To be honest, I was very sceptical before using it as it looked quite greasy. But, it has worked really well for me. I have been using a proactiv plus face wash with salicylic acid in the morning followed by their pore treatment and hydrator for about seven years now. Initially it was Proactiv and then I moved on to Proactiv plus. I used to use the proactiv plus 1,2,3 method morning and night, it did not seem to be helping my skin much alone.So I was on a look out for something more natural and organic that can help. I read this wonderful review about this organic beauty balm from someone with a similar skin type and decided to give it a go. I am very pleased I decided to take a chance at it. I use this at night before going off to sleep. I remove my make up at the end of the day as usual. Put on some balm onto my fingertips. Rub it well on the face. I then soak up muslin cloth in hot tap water, rinse and put on my face for few seconds and thats it. It is very gentle to the skin, cleanses very well and you do not need to use any moisturiser after that. My skin is quite spot prone, this has definitely helped, I can see the difference. It is very pleasant smelling with all organic ingredients!!

Lyonsleaf Beauty Balm is an excellent face cleansing and moisturising product. I've been using beauty balm for a few years now. I suffer from rosacea and psoriasis over the years flare ups do happen it is part of these conditions, and find that the beauty balm maintains my skin in good condition. Continuing to use beauty balm helps maintains good skin condition through flare ups, the skin does not get dry and sore, but keeps it moisturised and feeling good. I don't need to use moisturisers on my face, just beauty balm, hand made natural products grown from herbs on a farm in the uk, good for me and good for the environment, my old, sensitive skin is happy. I will continue to use this beauty balm as I like how it makes my skin feel, is effective in keeping it feeling and looking healthy. Happy to recommend
