I’m thrilled to review the Paula’s Choice cleansing balm today because I’m a big fan of the double cleansing method. Double cleansing is a gentle way to remove makeup and impurities without stripping the skin. The method starts with an oil based cleanser like this one to remove makeup and sunscreen then follows up with a second cleanser, a typical foaming water based cleanser. Let’s get into today’s review to see how the Paula’s Choice cleansing balm performs against makeup and sunscreen!
Hi friends! I’ve really missed writing on my blog, this has been the longest time I’ve taken away from blogging since I started in 2019. I had to take some time off creating because of the big news I’m sharing today. My boyfriend, Cullen, and I moved into a new house!
My hairdresser recommended the Oribe moisturizing shampoo and conditioner to me after I told her about the dryness I experienced while using the Olaplex duo. I’ve heard so many great things about Oribe over the years so I splurged on this duo. The Oribe moisturizing set is specifically formulated to moisturize curly and coily hair. I would describe my hair as way and extremely dry due to the desert climate I live in. Let’s see if Oribe was worth the splurge!
I had the opportunity to try the Estee Lauder Vitamin C serum and I couldn’t wait to see if this luxury serum was worth the price. Vitamin C serums are amazing for fading hyperpigmentation like acne scars and sun spots. I was excited to test this serum against my acne scars.
The Neogen day light protection sunscreen is one of the best selling sunscreens at Soko Glam so I had to give it a try. This sunscreen is supposed to be friendly for sensitive and acne prone skin because it is silicone free. I am extremely picky about sunscreens because sun damage prevention is important to me. Let’s get into the review to see if this sunscreen lived up to my standards!

I feel so grateful for this beautiful Earth we live on. If you decide to travel to Monterey County, remember to leave no trace and take care of our planet! Let’s get into today’s travel guide:
The Shani Darden cleansing serum is from celebrity esthetician, Shani Darden, who works on some of Hollywood’s most beautiful faces including Shay Mitchell, Kelly Rowland, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. I couldn’t wait to try Shani’s cleanser which claims to be a gentle cleanser safe and gentle for all skin types. Here’s my thoughts on the cleansing serum:
The Dr. Jart cicapair cream caught my eye while I was shopping from a holiday sale on Dr. Jart’s website. I was really curious about this cream after I had such a great experience with the Dr. Jart ceramidin cream a few months ago. I’m extremely picky about moisturizers because I have very dry skin and I live in a desert climate. I couldn’t wait to find out if the cicapair cream would be enough to hydrate my dry skin type!
The Heimish all clean cleansing balm is one of the most popular cleansing balm formulas out there! Cleansing balms are a part of the Korean double cleansing method. The double cleansing method uses an oil cleanser like this one to remove oil based impurities (makeup and sunscreen) then following up with a gentle water based cleanser for water based impurities (dirt and sweat). Let’s get into today’s review of the Heimish cleansing balm!
