Do you wear make-up every day? Then it is very important that you remove it every evening! No matter how long the day or night has been, always remove your make-up thoroughly in the evening, because this is the only way your skin can breathe and recover.
Here you will learn how to remove your make-up quickly and easily without irritating your skin.
makeup remover products:
There are many different makeup remover products. Find out which ones you should n't use here:
- Do not use any products that contain oil to remove your make-up, as they usually contain liquid paraffin. This removes your make-up quickly, but it leaves an oily film on your eyes. Often your vision is very blurry afterwards. Over time, it can even clog your tear ducts. In addition, if you do not dab and remove the oily film after removing your make-up with oil, the area around your eyes may still be so oily the next morning that your mascara, eyeliner, etc. will not stay on well and will smear.
- Don't use wet wipes, as they are not good for your skin and not good for the environment. They contain preservatives so that they stay moist in the pack. And these ingredients have absolutely no place on your skin! They make your skin very dry. They are also not good for the environment and you have to keep buying new ones.
- Don't use disposable makeup remover pads! They are not environmentally friendly and you waste a lot of money because you have to buy them again and again.
Here are the makeup remover products we recommend:
- Use reusable makeup remover cloths : For example, a simple washcloth or microfiber makeup remover cloths, etc. Why? Because they are very good, light and gentle when removing makeup. And because you can simply wash them in the next load of laundry and use them again and again. This saves a lot of money in the long run. They are also very gentle on the skin. There are many different products available online or in drugstores. Try out which makeup remover cloth works best for you.
- With a makeup remover wipe, warm water is often enough to remove makeup. Water is the best and gentlest way to clean your face! Especially if you are allergic and have to be careful with certain ingredients.
If your eye make-up doesn't come off with water alone, then use some cleansing foam . It's very gentle and you can use it to gently remove even waterproof eye make-up!
And here's how it works step by step:
1) First of all, tie your hair back so that it doesn't fall into your face.
2) First moisten your face with warm water
3) Apply 2-3 pumps of the cleansing foam to closed eyes, face, neck and décolleté. Allow to take effect for a short time.
4) Massage in the cleansing foam and wash with a washcloth, makeup remover cloth or microfiber cloth.
Tip: Don't rub too hard, as the thin skin around the eyes is particularly sensitive. If you rub and scrub hard, the delicate skin under the eyes will be very stressed and your eyes will be red afterwards. So let the foam work for a short time and then rub gently with the makeup remover cloth.
5) Then rinse with water.
6) Dry yourself with a fresh, clean towel. Not a dirty towel that you have been using all week, as it could have bacteria on it from before. This is important if you are struggling with spots, for example.
Tip: Don't use the same towel that you use for your hands all day for your face in the evening! Use a small guest towel just for your face in the evening and use each side only once if possible.
With the cleansing foam, your skin will not feel dry after removing your make-up. Therefore, you don't necessarily have to use a cream afterwards.
Did you know: If you always put a lot of cream on your skin, your skin will forget how to produce its own oils and at some point you will no longer be able to do without cream. So here's a tip : just use a little less cream or just a light cream so that your skin can get used to using fewer products again.
