Dark spots tell a story—of sun damage, hormonal shifts, inflammation, or skin that's been through something. The Golden Glow Cleansing Balm helps you write the next chapter: one where your skin tone evens out, your complexion brightens, and your natural radiance returns.
This isn't just a cleanser—it's a targeted treatment disguised as your daily ritual. Turmeric delivers curcumin, one of nature's most powerful anti-inflammatory and brightening compounds, while licorice root inhibits tyrosinase—the enzyme responsible for excess melanin production. Together, they address hyperpigmentation at its source.
We reformulated this balm with rice bran oil, which serves double duty: its gamma oryzanol provides additional brightening benefits while creating a subtle barrier that prevents turmeric from staining your skin or towels. The result is all the glow with none of the mess.
Kaolin clay gently lifts away dead skin cells that can make dark spots appear more pronounced, while our luxurious butter blend ensures your skin stays hydrated and supple throughout the brightening process. Because glowing skin should never come at the cost of dry, tight, or uncomfortable skin.
How to Use
Scoop a small amount (about the size of a nickel) and warm between your palms until melted. Massage onto dry skin in circular motions for 60-90 seconds, allowing the balm to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and impurities.
To remove: Add water to your skin gradually to create a sudless emulsion. The water transforms the balm into a creamy, milky cleanser that lifts away dirt, oil, and debris without stripping. The more water you add, the creamier the balm becomes—this also helps stretch each tin so a little goes a long way. Rinse thoroughly with warm water or remove with a warm, damp cloth.
Follow with your Love U Studios toner and facial oil for best results.
Pro tip: Take an extra 30 seconds to massage along your jawline and around your nose—these areas hold the most congestion.
Note: Results build over time. Expect to see improvement in 4-8 weeks with consistent use. Always wear SPF during the day when using brightening products.
