Make-Up Removers

There’s a reason why you shouldn’t go to bed with your make-up on. Regardless of how busy or exhausted you are, you should always remove your make-up with a proper make-up remover before going to bed. This is crucial to avoid clogged pores, pimples and other infections that could occur from the mixture of dirt, oils and chemicals on your skin.

Washing it off with plain water or soap isn’t good enough, especially if you have mascara or waterproof eyeliner on. Remember to always use a make-up remover at the end of the day to reduce the chances of breakouts and blemishes.

Make-up removers are not supposed to dry out the skin, and if they do, it’s usually because they contain harsh ingredients such as alcohol, which strips away moisture from your skin.

The best make-up removers are plant-based, gentle on the skin and effective in getting the job done without the aid of alcohol or harsh chemicals. They should always leave your skin feeling clean and hydrated.

If you have dry skin, it’s essential to get an alcohol-free product that won’t dehydrate or irritate your skin. You’re always better off with plant-based make-up removers because they’re enriched with botanical ingredients that will nourish and protect your skin.

The texture of your make-up remover also plays a significant role in ensuring that your skin feels soft and soothed. A cleansing milk is an ideal make-up remover for dry skin because it is lightweight, non-comedogenic and deeply moisturising. Its milky texture gently removes all dirt and grime without harming your skin’s moisture barrier.
