It is essential that you remove your make up every time you wear it. There are many reasons for this.
Firstly, in order to maintain your skin health you must remove the make up products. Without the removal, your pores can be clogged which leads to spots and unhealthy skin.
If you leave your make up on, this can lead to skin irritation and redness.
Make up can be drying so without the removal this can effect the hydration and moisture of your skin.
Although without removal your skin gets damaged but if you leave mascara and eye shadow on this can lead to potential eye irritation. If you have a well cleansed face this maximises the benefits from your skincare products.
The following products are a list of make up removal products which may suit your skins needs.
First up we have the Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm. This product is effective for make up removal which is gentle on the skin.
The formula is creamy and leaves the skin hydrated and moisturiser. It can be easily applied and fragrance free which makes it suitable for all skin types.
This product may not work for people with a heavy make up routine due to the power of cleansing.
The next product is The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter. This has similar properties to the Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm.
With being moisturising, gentle on the skin and an effective make up remover. However, this product is not suited to oily skin due to the formula. This product also has a scent which may harm certain skin types.
Next up we have the Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser. This cleanser has exfoliating properties and suits all skin types.
It comes with a muslin cloth to help you cleanse and is gentle on the skin. However, you need to look after the muslin cloth to receive the maximum cleansing benefits.
Next up we have the Simple Kind to Skin Micellar Cleansing Water. This formula is suited to all skin types due to the gentle and non toxic ingredients.
It has effective make up removal properties with the ability to remove waterproof mascara and long lasting products easily.
As it is targeted to remove make up, it is important you use a separate cleanser to ensure your skin is clean and fresh after the removal.
The next cleanser is the Pixi + Caroline Hirons Double Cleanse. As this is a double cleanser it offers removal of make up as well as cleansing your skin after.
It is suitable for all skin types due to its gentle and hydrating formula. However, it does include some strong ingredients therefore a patch test is advised. It is also a very popular product meaning limited availability.
Next up we have the Nip+Fab Glycolic Fix Cleansing Pads. This product is an effective exfoliator which has a range of acids throughout the formula.
The pads mean they can work as a targeted treatment, if there are parts of your skin which need more attention. This product produces quick results leaving the skin bright, clean and smooth.
However, it can make your skin more sensitive as well as dry out your skin. Therefore, this product is more suited to more oily and acne prone skin.
Next we have the Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Gel Wash. As this has micellar as an ingredient this means it works to deeply cleanse your skin to remove dirt and unwanted oils.
The formula is gel meaning it is lightweight, gentle and leaves the skin feeling smooth and clean. It is easy to use however it does have a scent meaning this may react badly to certain skin types.
Always ensure you check the ingredients prior to use.
The final cleanser is the Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Water. This cleanser soothes the skin as well as cleanses. Removing any irritation and redness from your complexion leaving you with a bright and refreshed look.
Like the other micellar water products they tend to just remove make up rather than cleanse your skin after meaning an additional cleanser would be advised.
All of these products will help to remove your make up effectively but you must ensure you use one which doesn’t cause any irritation, redness or allergies on your skin.
If you have any concerns or are unsure on which product to use make sure you seek professional help either through a doctor or dermatologist.
By removing your make up this gives you the best chance for improving your skin health. There are many other factors which make up why your skin is the way it is but by breaking down the basics you will begin to see results.
Always read the bottle for the application instructions prior to use.
Happy cleansing!
