Your pores are holding onto more than you realize. Pollution, oxidized sebum, microscopic debris, remnants of products that didn't fully rinse away—it all accumulates, leading to blackheads, congestion, and skin that looks dull no matter what you layer on top. The Black Pearl Cleansing Balm goes deep.
Activated charcoal acts like a magnet, binding to impurities and toxins and lifting them away from your skin. But unlike harsh charcoal cleansers that strip and dry, our balm format ensures your skin stays hydrated throughout the detox process. The rich butter base melts into your pores, loosening congestion from within while the charcoal captures and removes it.
Kaolin clay amplifies the purifying action, absorbing excess oil and tightening the appearance of pores. Eucalyptus and peppermint essential oils provide a cooling, invigorating sensation that opens your pores and your sinuses—turning your cleansing ritual into a spa-like experience.
This is the weekly reset your skin has been craving. The deep clean that actually works. The detox that doesn't punish your skin in the process.
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.
Usage: 2-3 times per week for oily/congested skin. Once weekly for maintenance or combination skin.
