What it is and what it does
The Story
#4 The PreCleanse Balm is a restorative prelude to your evening cleansing ritual, nourishing as it elevates moisture levels and gently removes all traces of makeup, sunscreen and impurities. Skin feels refined and hydrated as it is perfectly prepared for your second cleanse.
The Promise
• Replenishes intercellular lipids to restore skin integrity.
• Helps to balance, nurture and rehydrate skin.
• Balm-to-oil emulsion removes all sunscreen, makeup and impurities.
• Skin feels comforted, softer and more supple.
The Ritual
Massage gently over dry skin.
Follow with your recommended RATIONALE Cleanser and rinse clean, then apply your RATIONALE Essential Six formulations for night.
The Research
The skin’s outermost layer, the Stratum Corneum, is made up of an intricately balanced composition of lipids, including ceramides, cholesterol and triglycerides. This living barrier exists to protect skin from external hazards, keeping it hydrated and supple while helping to shield against sunlight and other environmental aggressors.
A thorough nightly cleansing regimen can assist in the replenishment of vital Stratum Corneum lipids and proteins, which are otherwise diminished a result of ageing and environmental damage.
Skin lipid esters assist in breaking down surface debris, including sunscreen actives and makeup which are removed with the addition of water, while simultaneously boosting concentrations of native surface lipids to fortify barrier function.
Who it is for
Approved for all 16 Baumann Skin Types, except the Allergic sensitive subtype.
