What do you take your makeup off with?

[hiddenhome]

I have been using makeup wipes, but they give you wrinkles, apparently, so I need something else.

I've tried OCM in the past, but need something that can be used daily.

Can't be: Expensive, strong smelling, contain alcohol, be difficult to find.

Any suggestions?

Or even coconut oil!

What is wrong with wipes?! I have been using them for ages and find that they're really good at getting all make up off. I use the simple ones. Am I going to be haggard?

[WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes]

Wipes make my skin sting, far too harsh, have tried several types including Simple. Nothing wrong with them if they suit you though.

I have a question...
If wipes give you wrinkles by dragging the skin, do flannels, muslins and other hot cloths do the same? If not, why not?

[TheBigBumTheory]

I just use a little face wash and a flannel when I'm in the bath.

bioderma miscellar water, I find it v good. If its a heavy day I follow up with cetaphil, which is lovely and gentle but didn't take make up off on its own

[wrapsuperstar]

Botanics cleansing balm (was using Eve Lom which was much better but ££) and then No7 cleanser or micellar water to finish. I can't just use one on its own -- still feel grimy afterwards.

baby oil and cotton wool

[Norfolknway]

Soap and a flannel

[ThatsMyOnlyShirt]

Another one for Ultrabland. I get very dry skin round my eyes and it is the only thing gentle enough that actually removes mascara and eyeliner.

[AmazingDisgrace]

Superdrug hot cloth cleanser, gets it all off

[enriquetheringbearinglizard]

Never use oil near your eyes, my optician told me off as it leaves a residual film, or at least it was detected in my eyes.

Eve Lom on my face, or Liz Earle, but I do admit to a wipe now and then when I'm really tired or go away, as I figure that's better than nothing.

Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish - highly recommended!

[Shimmyshimmy]

Simple cleansing lotion, gets my waterproof mascara off, doesn't irritate my skin and costs pennies.

[Shimmyshimmy]

Wipes literally left my skin raw....I wouldn't use them again...ever!

[fedupandfifty]

I make up a scrub using whatever moisturiser I've got plus baking powder or similar.

[VestaCurry]

Clinique Take the Day Off cleansing balm

[JohnCusacksWife]

Superdrug Hot Cloth Cleanser - as good as Liz Earle but waaaayyyy cheaper.

[TheBeautifulVisit]

I use Vaseline to remove eye make up. And Nivea soft to remove face make up. Both removed with cotton wool pads. Then I splash with ice cold water, pat with a clean towel and moisturise with Lancôme.

[inSomerset]

I use body shop eye make-up remover for waterproof mascara & vegetable oil; grapeseed or sunflower for rest of fizog. Massage in a teaspoonful & then remove with a flannel wrung out in hottish water. Skin is much softer & clear, it's as cheap as chips and you can add a drop or two of essential oil to the bottle if you want.

Was using a superdrug hot polish cleanser, but skin seemed to be getting congested and this has done the trick. More expensive than I would normally use, but bought it in a massively reduced set from m& s after Christmas.

I first remove eye makeup with babyoil on a cotton pad, then I smear my face with whatever cleanser i have on the go that S&B have usually recommended wipe it off with toilet paper then I use a face wash and wipe off with a hot flannel. then comes a complicated routine of whatever serum / toner / oil / magic cure / miracle cream that I have bought into that week .... suprisingly my skin looks pretty nice for my age !
