We’ve talked a lot at Loren’s World about the importance of removing makeup before you head to bed to keep your skin looking young and fresh, but what about making sure you get every last bit of eye makeup off without irritating your beautiful eyes? From liner to mascara and even eye shadow, getting it all off is essential to keeping your eyes healthy, bright and infection-free. If you’re scrubbing off to the point of losing lashes, it’s time to take a gentler approach. Keep reading for a few tips.
For super tough-to-remove eyeliner and even waterproof mascara, an oil-based remover is best. But being gentle on your lids and lashes is important too. Close your eyes and use circular motions to gently remove makeup – fingertips is best for this followed by gently removing the oil-based product with cotton pads.
On a lighter eye-makeup day, a water-based cleanser will typically get the job done just fine, but you still want to be sure you don’t pull or tug on your sensitive eyelids and lashes. When it comes to water-based eye makeup remover, you can simply apply it to a cotton pad and using a soft swiping motion to remove. Try swiping from the inner corner of your eye, moving outward.
Try Motives Gentle Eye Makeup Remover – it’s great for cleansing and soothing at the same time and is even gentle enough for contact lens wearers. It will leave your eyelids refreshed, soothed and your lashes soft.
We all have those nights when removing makeup before bed sounds like the world’s biggest chore, but it’s a must – especially when it comes to eye makeup. When you find yourself on the fence, like you just might head to bed complete with your eye makeup still going strong, reach for makeup remover wipes. Be careful with these though – you want to be gentle with your lids and lashes. Use them with care by first padding your eyelids with the wipe to try and break down the makeup a bit, follow with gentle downward swipes until all the makeup is removed.
Try Motives Makeup Remover Towelettes, which are gentle enough for sensitive skin and eyes but also get the job done without leaving behind residue.
