Are you new to the world of mineral makeup cosmetics and find that the Oil of Olay like wipes, which you’ve been using for years to remove your makeup, are not really fit for the purpose? Would you like to know what other women are using to thoroughly remove their mineral makeup?
It is true that some women find, for example, baby wipes to be the best solution, especially those with a touch of lotion or Aloe Vera in them. But if you have a sensitive skin, some of the fragrances and chemical preservatives that wipes contain can set your face on fire. So, if you are using mineral makeup because you have a sensitive or acne prone skin, be extra careful and selective when looking for the stuff to clean it with at the end of the day. I know there are women happily washing it all off with soap, but trust me, it’s not for you. It will leave your skin all tight, dry and easily irritable, and you do not want that.
Clinique’s Take the day off and Lancome Bi-Facil double-action makeup remover are two that quite a number of women really love. Some like it so much that they buy two bottles at a time! The strength of the double-action removers is hidden in components that are combined by shaking just before dabbing onto a cotton pad and sweeping over the delicate eyes and lips. Both will take the makeup off with little or no effort, yet, they might leave a trace that feels slightly treacly, which is not a problem if an overall facial wash is a part of your routine. Both can be especially useful for removing evening wear makeup and makeup fixatives. Clinique’s makeup remover seems to be more gentle on the skin, especially around eyes, whilst both said to be suitable for contact lens wearers.
In any case, as with every product you are about to buy or use, check the list of ingredients and make sure that your skin approves of it ‘in theory’ before applying it in practice. And, if you want an all natural solution, check out this video. Quite apart from being as surprised as I was, you might find that the best mineral makeup remover that you’ve been looking for is more affordable and closer to you than you’ve ever thought.
