How To Make Homemade Makeup Removers?

It could be because you’ve run out of your makeup cream or because you want to start using more natural products to care for your skin. There are several options to remove makeup without resorting to chemical or purchased products. Discover the most effective homemade make-up removers in this article.

Recommendations for removing your face

It will all depend on how much makeup you put on your face and, above all, which regions are more loaded.

If you’re one of those who wears a lot of mask and eyeliner in your eyes, it’s likely that you’ll need more time to remove your makeup, as most are usually waterproof.

The same can happen with the mouth if the lipstick is of good quality or is well loaded.

For other areas of the face, it can be simpler. Wash well with warm water and mild soap to remove excess makeup and make the job more “thick”, so to speak.

Be aware that this does not completely remove the eyeshadow, blush , foundation, etc., but that you should continue with the cleaning task afterwards.

Also, it won’t take more than a few minutes, and the good news is that the result is a very beautiful, radiant, luminous and clean face.

Never go to sleep with makeup still on your face because, in addition to waking up the next day with spots all over the place, the pores of the face don’t “breathe”. This can lead to oily skin, with more acne or pimples.

Even if you are very tired, you should take five minutes to remove your makeup.

If you wear contact lenses, you need to take them off before you start removing makeup, as the product can get into your eyes and cause irritation or burning, as well as deforming your contact lenses.
