Eye make up removal

I use these with micellar water and like them www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07DCJ1SVQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_11_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1549924269&sr=8-11&keywords=makeup+remover+pads&dpPl=1&dpID=41uqQEqSEOL&ref=plSrch.

I recently got a sample of Make Up Eraser and love that (you only wet it with water) makeuperaser.com

I just use my normal dual cleansing. The oil cleanser gets most everything, the water-based cleanser gets anything left behind. Occasionally, I need to swipe my mascara or eyeliner with Beauty Water after washing, but not usually. I don't use any waterproof makeup.

I’ve been using Mary Kay eye makeup remover for years. It’s the only Mary Kay product I use & I love it.

I had a little sample bottle of MAC oil free eye makeup remover that worked great. I went to buy the full size this past weekend at a MAC store and found out it's discontinued. I went in Nordstrom to see if maybe I'd get lucky and the MAC counter would have any leftovers, and of course, they didn't. I talked to a sales girl at Estee Lauder and she showed me Chantecaille rose water eye makeup remover. It feels nice, and takes everything off, so I don't have any complaints about that.

For the rest of my makeup, sometimes I use a makeup wipe (usually the Costco ones) and then micellar water, sometimes Farmacy green cleansing balm, sometimes Bare Minerals cleansing oil, or I might try one of the million samples of cleansers, but usually go the easy/quick way because I'm lazy and want to get on with the rest of the routine so I can get in bed and read for a bit before I fall asleep.

Oh yeah, I have a couple Make-up eraser cloths and I'm surprised at how well they take makeup off, I just think they feel weird to me while they do it. I can't really describe it. When they're clean and handy though, I do use them sometimes.

Sleeping in your makeup at night isn't recommended.  It can clog your pores and leaving eye makeup on overnight while sleeping can contribute to eye infections.

Plus, assume that you slept with your makeup on last night.  Some of it has rubbed off of your face and onto your pillowcase.  If you don't either turn your pillow over or change your pillowcase all of the makeup from the previous day, skin oils, etc are being transferred back onto your skin.  YUCK!

I'll be honest enough with you to admit that I don't wash my face at night 100% of the time.  

But washing your face and brushing your teeth before bed are good habits to get into.  It only takes about 5 minutes to do both.  

I use these when we are on vacation.  Love them.

Ha, I saw your post right after I posted about my Mary Kay lady.  She loves my skin and I never tell her my bad habits.  

I just use a wet washcloth in the shower.

While it may be true that you might not have much left on your face in the way of makeup, it is still a good idea to wash your face before bed.  

Anyone who wears glasses will tell us that just wearing their glasses gets them dirty.  Oils from their skin, dirt in the air, air pollution all come into contact with the glasses.  What's to make us think that the dirt is only going onto the glasses?  It's not.  It's also collecting on the skin.

Why not do an experiment?  Take a picture of your skin today and for the next 21 days wash your face every morning and every night.  Then take another picture and compare them.  I'd love to hear your results.  

So JoP - so far I like them! They're a much better size, maybe 3-4 inches across approx, so much easier to use them for the way I do my face, rather than a big cloth and I use less product. I have tried just wetting them and was surprised that most of my waterproof mascara did come off but I prefer to then give a wipe over with eye make up remover too to make sure it's off properly. The same with my face - my brain is telling me that water alone can't dissolve all the ingredients of foundation, blusher, eyebrow pencil etc as well as the general day's grime/pollution and skin oils so I am using them with a cleanser and toner as I would a cotton wool pad. But one pad is enough for all that, using both sides, and I like the gentle exfoliation they give. So I feel good that I'm not using cotton wool any more and I think I'll have enough to use while some are in the wash etc so - all's good!
