With colder seasons approaching, those of us with dry skin are gearing up for our annual battle against the elements, and one of the best skin care products to include in this year's arsenal is a cleansing balm. Unlike some facial cleansers, which can strip the skin of its natural oils, leaving dry skin… well… even drier, cleansing balms are thick, creamy, and hydrating, removing makeup and impurities while hydrating the skin. If you have dry skin, listen up! We're sharing three cleansing balms you'll need this fall!
