How to remove makeup?

Posted by Joanna on

The vast majority of us don't like this moment that we have to devote to ourselves. We consider make-up removal to be an unpleasant necessity that has to be "done and done" every evening. Those of us who have already come to the good side of make-up removal know that it can be an extremely pleasant care ritual and time dedicated to ourselves, during which we can reflect on the past day or even listen to relaxing music. Close your eyes and imagine this moment. Turn on some nice music, light a candle with your favorite scent and spend a few moments with yourself. Enjoy this time when only you are important. No one talks to you anymore. You can only take care of yourself. The right cosmetics and accessories will help you with this. Which ones? You will find out in the next paragraphs.

Makeup removal oil.

A rising hit among facial cleansing and make-up removal cosmetics and an inseparable element of the Korean facial cleansing ritual. It will be loved by owners of practically every skin type, because a good make-up removal oil does not clog pores, does not irritate the skin and does not dry it out. Why has it enjoyed such popularity recently? Well, it dissolves make-up and dirt wonderfully without damaging the delicate hydrolipid barrier (unlike aggressive gels or micellar fluids with detergents). Make-up removal oil thoroughly cleanses the skin while nourishing it. This is a cosmetic for each of us - but it is worth knowing how to use it correctly. Apply make-up removal oil to your hands. Two small drops are enough. Spread them in your hands and then apply to your face. Gently massage your entire face with your hands, the oil will dissolve the make-up and dirt accumulated on it. Some brands of oils come with a special make-up removal cloth. It is with this (previously moistened with warm water) that you then remove the oil along with the makeup and impurities. You can also do it simply with pads. The oil leaves an occlusive filter on the skin, which protects it from water evaporation. This is a wonderful property that will be useful for every skin type - except for acne and oily skin. Wash such skin with a mild gel or foam for makeup removal with a neutral pH. You will find a lot of makeup removal oils on the market. Pay special attention to those from original Korean brands, e.g. Banila Co. Their makeup removal oil called Clean It Zero has a creamy consistency resembling sorbet. It dissolves even the most resistant and waterproof makeup perfectly. What's more, the manufacturer took care of every skin type and prepared three versions - for dry skin, for sensitive skin, for oily and combination skin. You will easily choose yours. You can find Clean It Zero oil on the Internet.

Makeup removal glove.

An excellent alternative to make-up removal using cosmetics is make-up removal with a glove made of special microfibres. The Polish brand GLOV has such a glove in its offer and designed it with every skin type in mind. The GLOV make-up removal glove removes make-up only with water - you don't need any additional cosmetics and you can forget about the existence of make-up remover, micellar water, make-up remover milk or face wash gel. The product is absolutely safe for the skin of your face. It does not irritate it, does not rub, does not cause allergies, does not leave redness. The question remains, how to use it? First, wet the glove under water (warmer water will dissolve make-up faster), put it on your face and hold it for a few seconds. Then, start gently massaging your face - but do not rub it, the fibres themselves will start to attract make-up like a magnet. After use, wash the glove using the dedicated Magnet Cleanser soap (you can also use regular, grey bar soap) and hang to dry. The GLOV glove is designed with every skin type in mind. You will find the right one for normal and combination skin , for oily skin , and also for dry skin - the latter is made of super soft, almost plush material. There is no chance that it will irritate you or cause an allergy.

Make-up remover milk.

Let's go back to the "traditional" forms of make-up removal and facial cleansing. Many years ago, before our attention was permanently focused on micellar waters and make-up removal oils, make-up removal milk reigned supreme in bathrooms. Particularly beloved by owners of dry skin, thanks to its rich consistency, it not only removes make-up but also moisturises the skin. It is worth remembering that milk always leaves a so-called greasy film on the skin, the remnants of which must be washed off with water, gel or facial toner.

Natural DIY makeup remover.

Yes, you can also make your own makeup remover. If you are trying to limit detergents, try making your own homemade makeup remover in the comfort of your own bathroom. You will need 2 tablespoons of witch hazel infusion (you can buy it in a herbal store or online store), 2 tablespoons of almond oil (you can replace it with olive oil or jojoba oil) and 2 tablespoons of filtered water. Pour the ingredients into a glass bottle or a small jar and mix them together vigorously. Shake the bottle again before each subsequent use. You can apply this homemade makeup remover directly to the skin or apply it to a cotton pad. If you choose the latter option, you can also add a drop of tea tree oil to the cotton pad, and instead of cotton pads, choose the less waste alternative Moon Pads .

Makeup removal and evening facial cleansing can truly be a pleasant and relaxing moment ending a busy day and beginning evening relaxation. During your personal cleansing and care ritual, you take care not only of the condition of your facial skin, but also of your psyche, giving it a moment of rest and reflection. Good night…
