Guide to Makeup Removal

Leaving your makeup on for longer than necessary can clog pores, especially if it is thick makeup or if you're wearing a lot. Removing makeup as soon as you are finished wearing it is key to keeping gorgeous skin, especially removing it overnight. However, it can be tricky to make sure you actually scrub all of that makeup away. 

Use a gentle makeup remover just for eye makeup. Regular makeup remover is known to irritate our sensitive eyes. 


Drape a towel over your head and hold it over a sink of hot, steaming water. This opens your pores and dislodges your makeup easier for cleansing.

Remove your lip color. Apply a small dab of petrolatum jelly to your lips, and gently rub it in with a tissue. Fold in the tissue, and blot the lips.

Use a gentle face wash. Most of your makeup should come off on this stage in the cleansing process. 

Remove any eye makeup that ran while you washed your face. It's pretty common to see a bit of mascara or eyeliner under your eyes, and very easy to remove with a dampened cotton swab.

Close your pores with a splash of cool water. Apply some moisturizer to soothe your skin, and consider this cleanse complete!
