Makeup remover: Choosing what’s best for you!
Makeup, even when applied sparsely, should always be removed at the end of the day. In fact, any good night time beauty routine should start by a makeup removal with the thorough cleansing of all traces of cosmetics. This allows pores to breathe freely and promotes cellular renewal by eliminating dead skin cells.
Types of makeup removers
Cleansing milks — for dry and normal/combination skin
Gentle and moisturizing, cleansing milks are applied to the skin and removed with a dry or moist cotton ball or pad. They can also be rinsed with water. Follow with a toner to be applied with a cleansing pad. This keeps skin from feeling tight and dry. Never use an alcohol-based toner, as they are far too potent for this skin type.
Cleansing oils — for dry and sensitive skin
There is no greasy feel, since the plant-based oil in these products blends together perfectly with warm water and rinses off. Here is the technique used by the pros: apply a few drops in the palm of your hand, rub hands together with a small quantity of warm water, massage over face and rinse.
Cleansing fluids — for oil-prone skin
These products both cleanse and tone the skin. Simply apply with a facecloth. No rinsing is required.
Cleansing gels — for combination and oily skin
Gels provide deep cleaning and leave skin smooth and even. Rinsing is required.
Cleansing mousse— for oily and acne-prone skin
Applied on wet skin, mousse leaves skin free of all traces of oil.
Cleansing cloths — for all skin types
Super convenient, cleansing cloths are great when you don’t have much time to remove your makeup, or when you simply don’t feel like it.
