If you haven’t dabbled in the cleansing stick beauty phenomenon yet, you’re missing out. Cleansing sticks are the latest skin care fad to hit the market and it’s easy to see why. For starters, they make traveling with your favorite cleanser a whole lot easier since they’re considered a solid versus a liquid. Not to mention that they take up virtually no space and won’t spill all over your precious cargo. Second, they’re like do-all formulas in a tiny little stick. And one of our favorite components of these handy sticks is that they can be applied straight to the face, meaning no germs added into the mix.
We can think of many more reasons why they’re the next big skin care trend, but we’ll let you thumb through the slideshow and see for yourself. Whatever your concerns or needs, there’s a cleansing stick for that!

Tarte
Coined a "solid-to-suds" stick, this powerful vegan-friendly formula will gently remove dead skin while polishing and purifying pores. In other words, if your skin is having a moment (aka looking dull), this stick will perk it up instantly. Leave it on longer for an on-the-go treatment mask. Pretty awesome, right?

We consider this a skin care miracle in stick form. Going above and beyond, it helps reduce the size of pores, evens out uneven skin texture, absorbs toxins and more. You read that right. This small stick packs a solid (sorry, had to again!) punch.
