Makeup Removers Buying Guide

Removing your makeup before bedtime should be one of the most important steps of your nightly routine. Sleeping with makeup still on your face can result in clogged pores, oily skin and raccoon eyes. Different makeup removers  exist for different skin types, and its important to recognise which is best for you. There are various ways to remove your makeup including wipes,  creams,  liquids  and gels.

Tips

• Eye makeup  should typically be taken off separately with its own remover since the area around the eye is sensitive and mascara  or eye-liner  can be difficult to wipe off.
• Baby oil  and Vaseline  act as good makeup removers, but they may leave your skin feeling greasy.
• Remember not to scrub too hard when removing makeup. Your face is very sensitive and if you have the right product, makeup should come off easily.
• Use cotton balls  or tissues  on your face as these are soft materials that will pick up dirt and makeup.
• Figure out your skin type to determine which remover is best for you.
