It Cosmetics makes some of our favorite multitasking beauty products. And by multitasking, we mean they're perfect for us lazy people. And by lazy, we mean hungover. It Cosmetics Bye Bye Makeup 3-in-1 Makeup Melting Balm, $38, is another winner for those DGAF days. The balm's texture isn't too greasy, which is really saying something for such a stellar makeup-remover balm. When the cleanser hits your skin, it forms a serum-like hydrating barrier (the proprietary Skin-Softening Serum Concentrate) so you don't even need to apply moisturizer afterward.
The cult-status Eve Lom Cleanser, $80, is the cleansing balm that sparked an industry-wide trend. This product elevates the act of washing your face to a spa experience. First, you apply the waxy, smooth, powerfully scented balm, akin to a thick face mask; then, you wipe it away with a hot, damp muslin cloth (included in the package), taking perverse pleasure in all the dirt and makeup that comes with it. Those with dry, delicate or mature skin will love this mild-cleansing, intensely oily balm. For best results, we suggest buying extra cloths or keeping plenty of fresh washcloths on hand so you can start with a clean towel every time.
