    If you are a beauty lover, you must know and (hopefully!) swear by the golden rule of make-up: take it off before you hit the bed. Wedding season means long nights with make-up on, heavy or otherwise, and removing it can be a pain every night. This is why a cleansing balm or oil can be your best friend in the days to come.

    Everything To Know About Cleansing Balms And Oils

    These cleansing agents are known to remove dirt, grim and oil without much effort. The other reason is why should you even bother using harsher alternatives such as micellar water, wet wipes, or vigorous scrubbing of years past. In fact, for those suffering from eczema, using a balm cleanser alone helps prevent dryness for the patient.

    How to use a cleansing balm or oil?

    Most cleansing balms and oils emulsify into soap as you massage them dry into your skin and add water.Manifestrecommends massaging cleansing balms or oils in soft, circular motions three times. Splash cool or warm water and wash it or you could use a gentle cloth to wipe away the melted product.

    Next, use your regular face wash and you will realise how much cleaner and fresh your skin looks. This step altogether is known as double cleansing.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.
