Experience the magic of Moa
It might not have been made by witches or wizards, but hidden inside each tube of Moa’s new ‘Daily Cleansing Ritual’ is a balm that magically helps to remove even the most stubborn of makeup, clears up acne, nourishes dry skin and removes impurities to leave the skin balanced and glowing.
Inside each beautifully boxed product you’ll find a luxurious bamboo face cloth paired together with a tub of Moa the green balm to create the ultimate cleansing kit.
Moa the green balm makes a wonderful facial cleansing balm, with a host of natural goodies for the skin, including anti-ageing, astringent and repairing yarrow to target black heads, tone and prevent wrinkles, anti-bacterial tea tree oil to fight skin blemishes, coconut and almond oils to soothe and nourish, soy bean oil an anti-oxidant to restore and balance, and finally beeswax to help protect the skin from the elements without clogging pores.
Moa the green balm is safe to use around the eyes and incredibly effective at removing makeup, even stubborn mascara. It also helps to balance the skin's oil content, so works well for both dry sensitive skin types as well as acne prone skin.
And to make the balm even more effective it’s paired with a luxury bamboo face cloth. Bamboo is not only beautifully soft, making it gentle on the skin, but it’s also naturally anti-bacterial. Furthermore, it’s also one of the most eco materials on the planet.
Why use a balm to cleanse?
It might seem a little odd to cleanse your skin with a balm, especially if you have oily skin, but everything is not always as it seems.
A lot of makeup and skin impurities are oil based, which means that water and soap can be ineffective at removing them. Balms on the other hand are excellent at grabbing hold of makeup and impurities, which are then removed from the skin easily.
Water and soap can also have a drying effect on the skin, causing the skin to produce excess natural oils to counter this dryness, often resulting in acne. By cleansing with a balm that contains natural oils you can actually prevent this in balance and keep acne at bay.
The step by step cleansing ritual:
Take some green balm and melt it between your fingertips to create an oil.
Smear the oil over your eye makeup, smudging it away from the eyes.
Massage your face with a little more balm to encourage better lymph circulation and tone the facial muscles.
Dip your face cloth in hot water (not too hot), wring it out, and press it to your face; steaming away the oil and impurities, whilst sealing in the essential oil goodness.
Finish by dipping your cloth in cold water, and press the super-soft side to your face; to tone and close the pores…magic!
