Principles of good makeup removal.
It is worth considering what we want to achieve. Remove makeup and cleanse the skin - these are obvious goals. What else? A good makeup remover will not only remove color cosmetics and skin care products from our face, but it will not damage the hydrolipid layer of the epidermis, will not significantly change the skin's pH, will not irritate it, will not cause allergies or make it swell. The truth is that a good makeup remover, apart from effective cleansing, should simply be gentle! It is worth treating the skin gently, and we are talking about all levels here. The skin should not be stretched or rubbed, should not be treated with strong detergents or excessive exfoliation. How to achieve these goals? The choice, as always, is yours!Gently.
If you need gentle make-up removal and your skin is dry or easily irritated, it is best to invest in a delicate foam with a good composition without the addition of soap , e.g. Makutu Bird Cherry - Horse Chestnut , which will be gentle on your complexion, thanks to the cleansing saponins that naturally occur in plants.

You can also use a milk to remove makeup. However, it is worth changing the way you use it. First of all, forget about cotton pads, which unnecessarily rub your sensitive skin. It is better to squeeze an appropriate portion of the milk into the palm of your hand, add a few drops of water and massage the damp skin of your face, as if you were applying cream. Only now, when the milk has dissolved all the cosmetics, wash them off with lukewarm water. You can help yourself with a cotton compress or a muslin cloth or a konjac sponge (if you feel like an extra dose of gentle exfoliation).Soap? It depends on what kind!
We will mention why you shouldn't use soap to wash your face in a moment, but for now, we want to say that not all soaps are bad! If you have seborrheic, acne-prone, oily skin, soap may be for you! You just have to choose it well. We have already written about Aleppo soap in more detail HERE - it is worth reading that post, because Aleppo soap has saved the skin of many a girl. It may not look amazing, but it speeds up the healing of wounds, keeps oily skin in check, is cheap and very efficient. Just check what concentration of laurel oil is right for your facial skin and don't forget about toner!

Black soap also washes great. It comes in the form of a thick paste that foams gently during washing. The skin is so cleansed that it "squeaks", so it is also worth using a toner here and it is better to remember that soaps work well for oily skin, for dry skin they can be too astringent and drying.Face gel, or… shampoo.
There are of course a whole bunch of face wash gels. Some are more advanced, others less so, we often show cosmetic novelties and various options available on the market on our blog. Today, however, we will be talking about face gels in a rather unusual way. If you want to focus on ultra-gentle care, you can do so and instead of investing a fortune in specialist face wash gels with uncertain compositions, buy a hair and skin wash gel for babies! Yes, you read correctly! Such gels often wash very gently and although they are not suitable for removing makeup like Kim Kardashian, they will do a great job of washing your skin in the morning, after a day when you do not wear makeup or if you wear mineral makeup. Another option is intimate hygiene gels. Internet users and bloggers recommend Rossmann gels because they are characterized by a neutral pH and very mild cleansing agents. Girls not only wash their faces with them, but also confirm that Rossmann intimate hygiene gels work great as a shampoo for thin, Slavic locks. Did you know that?Replace tonic with floral water.
Toners are sometimes natural only in name. You can make a toner yourself at home to be sure what is in the ingredients. Washing the skin with milk, cucumber, tomato or green tea water, or water with vinegar is popular. The problem is, however, that although these solutions are nice in home care rituals, they are not a solution for every day. Unless you have time in the morning for such a complex care. Without preservatives, a home-made toner will not last very long, and you do not want to put stale products on your face! A step towards nature could be changing the drugstore toner to a hydrolate, i.e. floral or herbal water . Hydrolates are available in stores with cosmetic semi-finished products, eco cosmetics or online. Not only do they have an incredible range of properties and you can choose one that fully meets your needs, but they also smell wonderful, have a truly caring effect and are useful for diluting powder masks or as a scented body mist!Washing gloves.
We may not be objective, but we love GLOV because using it requires no effort from us! No thinking about ingredients, no additional plastic, no scrubs, toners, gels or foams. You choose your favorite shape and material from which your GLOV is to be made , soak it in water, apply to the skin and remove the makeup! Pores are cleansed, makeup sits elegantly on the glove instead of on the face, eyelashes are in place, eyes are not irritated, and the whole thing takes about three minutes!
