If there’s anything that is true about makeup, it can not only stand up to heat but also withstand long hours of wear.
Of course, this helps since you won’t have to reapply makeup all the time but it does make it much harder to take it off as well.
If you tend to be a bit rough, this can cause irritation to both the eye area as well as if you have sensitive skin.
Here are 3 ways to remove your makeup gently:
1: Take Care of Your Eyes First
Since the skin around your eyes is the thinnest around your face, it is the first area that is prone to inflammation, irritation and dark circles. A fragrance, oil and alcohol-free liquid remover is excellent for daily use. One such option is the Renée Rouleau Soothing Eye Makeup Remover. All you have to do is apply 2-3 drops of this liquid on a cotton pad and hold it to your eye for about 20-30 seconds.
2: Get a Strong Remover If You Are Using Waterproof Makeup
Given that oil-based removers have a bit more consistency, they are perfect for removing waterproof makeup. Regular removers might not be able to help in this regard. One excellent oil-based remover is MAC Cleanse Off Oil. Just remember to do a full cleanse after you’re done removing the makeup.
3: Use Honey
One excellent way to remove makeup is to combine both Vaseline and moisturizer and rub it into your skin. Another option that is usually recommended is honey. Not only is it gentle on the eyes but it is hydrating too. Of course, don’t forget to rinse your face to avoid any stickiness.
