How to remove your makeup
Although your makeup may fade and appear to disappear as your day progresses, you must remove it thoroughly and completely at night before going to bed. This is especially true if the makeup is oil-based. If you don’t remove stale makeup, it could help to clog your pores, cause acne breakouts and have other negative effects on your skin.
How to remove your makeup? Water-based makeup products can typically be removed using the same cleanser that you use on your face in the mornings. Oil-based makeup however, need to be removed with a makeup removal product.
Makeup removal products are usually formulated for specific types of skin. Once you’ve selected the one that’s most suitable for your skin type, apply the product as per its instructions. You may need to leave it on your skin for several minutes in order to give it time to dissolve the cosmetics. Then, use tissue or cotton balls to gently wipe away the residue. Cotton swabs may be particularly useful for the sensitive eye areas, but you should avoid cotton if you wear contact lenses. Also, take care not to pull or tug at your skin.
If your makeup does not come off after you’ve done this, you may need to apply additional remover or switch to a more effective makeup removal product. It’s important to note as well that persons with sensitive skin should avoid any makeup products containing potential irritants such as alcohol and fragrance.
