Wouldn’t it be nice to take the day off, quite literally. Sadly, the closest thing to that would be removing the days stresses from your skin using Clinique’s hero product; Take the Day Off. Personally, when it comes to removing make-up using a cleansing balm is an absolute must. I find that the balms really get into the skin and remove all the dirt, make-up yet still leave your skin feeling nourished and refreshed. Usually, I do double cleanse with the second cleanser being a water based one. The Cleansing Balm of choice at the moment has been the Clinique Take the Day Off.
The Clinique Take the Day off Cleansing Balm comes in a purple tub in a similar style to other products from the brand. As I said before, a Cleansing Balm is my got-to product to really get a full face of make-up removed and all the other grime that could be lurking on my skin. The Take the Day off Cleansing Balm once worked into the skin really lifts and melts the products then making it super easy to remove with a wet cloth.
I always measure how good a cleansing balm is by how efficient it can remove eyeliner, mascara and eye shadows and this passes the test. I’d say around 90% of product gets removed in the first cleanse around the eyes. It’s also worth mentioning it’s very gentle for around the eye area. I do have sensitive eyes so this factor is a must for me. The product also has quite a muted scent so that’s also a positive when using especially around the eyes.
Another factor you don’t want with any cleansing product and that is for it to dry out your skin. I’ve not had any problems with this and whilst it’s obviously not the most hydrating product, when used with the Clinique Moisture Surge Moisturiser, you’ve got an excellent combo. I really do need to try out a few more Clinique skincare products as there is always good things said about them. Let me know in the comments if you have any recommendations.
