1. Going To Bed With Makeup On:

Even after a long day, you may feel tempted to forego the nighttime regimen and go straight to bed. But when you do this, you are doing nothing but contributing to clogging of your pores, causing irritation.

How to avoid: You should aim to remove your makeup at night time.

2. Over-Rubbing:

When you are removing your makeup, there is a possibility of your skin getting irritated.Be careful when doing this. Especially to make sure you don’t irritate sensitive areas such as around your mouth and eyes.

How to prevent: Gently massage the skin whilst removing make-up.

3. Choosing The Wrong Makeup Remover:

The type of makeup that you have used will determine the particular product you require for its removal. Failure to use the right product can lead to difficulties in removing the foundation, lipsticks, and/or waterproof makeup.

How to avoid: Choose a makeup remover depending on your skin type and makeup. Our Balm to Water Makeup Remover could be a great option for you. Always read the instructions provided.

4. Not Removing Eye Makeup:

If you don’t take care to remove your mascara, eyeliner and eyeshadow then there can be some left around your eye area. Rubbing this area can cause irritation.

How to avoid: Use an eye safe product and follow the instructions. Don’t touch directly to your eyes.

5. Not Rinsing:

Some makeup removers need to be rinsed off. If you don’t rinse then this can leave your skin feeling greasy and uncomfortable.

How to avoid: Follow the instructions. If you are using a balm to water product then add water as instructed to help emulsify the product. Rinse well!

Dry and tight skin is caused by the use of harsh soap or the wrong cleanser. This problem can cause discomfort to those with dry or sensitive skin.
