Pharmacist's advice: if you wear sunscreen or long-wearing makeup every day, an oil-based first cleansing step can make removal easier without excessive rubbing. Apply the balm to completely dry skin and give it enough time to dissolve makeup before adding water. Oily skin does not automatically need to avoid oil cleansers; what matters is that the cleanser is designed to emulsify and rinse away. For heavier makeup or several layers of sunscreen, a gentle second cleanse may be useful.
