Makeup Remover Frequently Asked Questions

• Which Makeup Remover Should I Use?

  Which makeup remover you choose depends on how much makeup you have on and your own personal preferences. Some removers offer more convenience than others, while others contain specific ingredients tailored to removing waterproof makeup and unique skin types.

  For convenience and travel, makeup wipes are often the easiest choice, though the physical rubbing can sometimes be a little too harsh for sensitive skin. These are ideal for lighter makeup days.

  Cleansing balms and cleansing oils are the ultimate choice for heavier makeup, as the oils melt away stubborn formulas and can be massaged deeply into the pores to ensure everything is removed. They also serve as the perfect first step in a double-cleansing routine.

  Micellar water works beautifully for all skin types including oily skin and varying makeup looks, though you will need cotton pads on hand to apply it. These formulas are often infused with targeted skincare ingredients to treat specific skin concerns.

• Why Do I Need Makeup Remover?

  Makeup remover is essential to keeping your skin healthy and clean after wearing makeup. Makeup blocks pores and if these stay blocked can cause breakouts and dull looking skin. Some removers are specifically formulated to dissolve heavy makeup and waterproof ingredients without causing irritation or needing to rub too much.
  
  Removing makeup is an essential first step in any skincare routine and helps not only to remove makeup but to breakdown and remove any SPF and skincare products you've worn in the day.

• What Is The Best Way To Remove Makeup?

  Once you've chosen your makeup remover you will need to follow the instructions provided as each remover has a different method of removal.
  
  Cleansing balms usually require you to take a small amount and massage the product gently across the face to remove all the makeup. You can then wash off with a damp cloth, cotton pads or makeup wipes.
  
  For micellar water and cleansing oils, take a cotton pad and soak it in the product and swipe across the face until all the makeup is removed.

  After removing makeup we recommend using a face cleanser to remove any residual makeup as makeup remover doesn't always remove it all.

• Do I Need To Double Cleanse?

  Double cleansing is essential to removing all makeup as makeup remover won't remove every trace.
  
  Use makeup remover first to dissolve the makeup and then choose a face cleanser you like to remove the rest. Which face cleanser you choose depends on your skin type and which skincare ingredients you prefer.
