How to remove eye makeup
Do you wash your face with regular soap, and then find yourself with racoon eyes? To make matters even worse, you start rubbing the delicate skin around the eyes to remove your makeup. It's hard to get the mascara off the eye lashes and you pull and tug at them, losing a few in the process.
If this sounds familiar, the problem is your soap which is not designed to remove makeup.
To cleanse the delicate area around your eyes and save your lashes, use a liquid oil-free eye makeup remover.
Instructions:
- To correctly remove eye makeup, simply squeeze a small amount of eye makeup remover on a cotton swab or cotton ball, and then gently swab the eye area. Close your eyes of course.
- To complete the cleansing process, wash away your eye makeup and all traces of eye makeup remover with a gentle face cleanser.
- Rinse and then pat your face dry.
- Apply moisturizer to your face and eye cream to the delicate skin around the eyes.
The skin around the eyes is extremely thin and it is the first area of the face to show signs of aging; therefore, the less pulling and tugging at the skin, the better off you will be in future years.
Makeup Removers - Oil-free or Oil-Based?
Oil-Free Makeup Removers
- Are easier to remove than oil-based removers.
- Will not clog pores.
- Gently removes eye makeup without pulling and tugging at the delicate skin around the eyes.
- Eliminates pulling the eyelashes.
- Gently removes lipsticks, lip gloss and lip liners from the lips.
Oil-Based Eye Makeup Removers
-
Can clog the skin's pores.
-
Oil-based removers are themselves difficult to remove.
-
Traces can seep from the base of the lash into the eyes causing temporary blurry vision.
-
Avoid using if you are a contact wearer.
-
Remaining traces of remover can cause eye makeup to slide off and/or cake.
Crisco Eye Makeup Remover
When in a pinch without your eye makeup remover, try Crisco for an emergency eye makeup remover.
Put a dab of Crisco on a cotton ball, or whatever your can find that is soft.
Crisco is not recommended for contact wearers because it could get in between the contact and eye causing irritation and/or blurry vision.
