Micellar Water or Cleansing Balm: How to Choose?

Hendiya® organic double cleansing: Le Baume Évanescent and La Lotion Tisane, cleansing balm and micellar water duo

It can never be said enough: removing your makeup is an essential step in caring for your skin — no excuse is good enough to skip it.

Yes to removing your makeup, but not with just any cleanser. Since it's a product you use every day, it's worth choosing it carefully. Naturally, we recommend a natural cleanser, or even an organic one.

And what about the format? Micellar water or cleansing balm? At Hendiya®, the two complement each other more than they compete: the choice depends on your skin type, how much makeup you wear, and which texture feels most comfortable to you.

Hendiya® organic double cleansing: Le Baume Évanescent and La Lotion Tisane

La Lotion Tisane: when cleansing means purity

In practice, La Lotion Tisane, our botanical micellar water with lemon verbena essence, removes the last traces of impurities and rebalances the skin's natural pH for a detoxified, radiant complexion. Like any micellar water, it requires no additional rinsing: it's a quick, refreshing solution, especially pleasant during warm seasons.

Its refreshing texture suits all skin types, but combination to oily skin will love it most. Used on its own, it's ideal for finishing off a cleanse or removing light makeup at the end of the day.

For best results, apply La Lotion Tisane every evening with a reusable cleansing pad, dabbing it over the entire face and neck.

Le Baume Évanescent: when cleansing means gentleness

Formulated with solid oils and wild chamomile extract, known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, Le Baume Évanescent offers a gentle cleanse ideal for all skin types, even the most sensitive.

Its melting, silky texture effectively dissolves makeup, even the most stubborn, penetrating deeply to remove impurities and excess sebum without irritating the skin.

To use, take a small amount with dry hands and gently massage onto dry skin in circular motions. Add a little warm water to emulsify, then rinse thoroughly.

The real secret: double cleansing

Rather than choosing between the two, Hendiya®'s evening ritual recommends using them together, one after the other: first cleanse your face with Le Baume Évanescent, which deeply dissolves makeup and sebum, then apply La Lotion Tisane by dabbing it on to finish the cleanse and rebalance your skin's pH. This double cleanse is the most thorough method, especially recommended after a day spent wearing makeup.

Find this duo together in the Coffret Morphée - Evening Ritual Set, along with the other essentials of the Hendiya® evening routine.

Conclusion: choosing without giving anything up

If you had to use just one product daily: combination to oily skin will prefer La Lotion Tisane, while sensitive or dry skin will opt for Le Baume Évanescent. But the most thorough solution remains combining both, depending on your makeup habits:

  • If you wear fairly light makeup, La Lotion Tisane alone may be enough to remove the natural impurities that build up over the day, while bringing freshness and tone.
  • If you wear a significant amount of makeup, always start with Le Baume Évanescent, which will remove most of your makeup (mascara included), then finish with La Lotion Tisane to cleanse the skin deeply.
