How to choose makeup removers?

What's the Right Type for You?

You know that feeling when you just can't get all your mascara off? It's the worst. The truth is, the right makeup remover is just as important as the rest of your skincare routine. It sets you up for success.

• If you wear heavy-duty, waterproof makeup, you're gonna need something a little stronger. Cleansing oils or balms are perfect for this. They dissolve everything mascara, eyeliner, long-wear foundation, without you having to scrub.
• If you're more of a light makeup person (like just a tinted moisturizer or some mascara), you've got a lot of options. Micellar water is an excellent choice. It's super gentle and uses these tiny little cleansing bubbles to lift away makeup.
• Got dry or sensitive skin? You'll love a cleansing milk or a lotion. They're creamy, they don't foam, and they help your skin stay hydrated while you cleanse.
• For oily or combo skin, look for a gel or a foaming cleanser. They give you that deeper clean to get rid of excess oil and keep your pores from getting all clogged up.

A Few Quick Tips

• Be gentle. This is the number one rule. Don't pull or stretch your skin, especially around your eyes. For stubborn mascara, just hold a cotton pad with the remover on your lashes for a few seconds to let it work.
• Always follow up. Okay, so here's the biggest mistake people make: they don't rinse off their micellar water. You should always follow up with a gentle face wash to get rid of any leftover residue.
• Wipes are for emergencies. Honestly, don’t rely on them every day. They can cause a lot of friction and often don’t get everything off.

Finding the right remover is a small change that can make a huge difference. It’s the first step to good, healthy skin.
