Best ways to remove makeup?

[MalbecAndLindt]

Ever since I became pregnant, I've been suffering with very dry skin. My eyes have now became very dry and irritated and I think facial wipes are making things worse. I use them because by the end of the day, I'm tired and lazy! But I need to try something else.

Any suggestions for removing makeup that won't irritate my skin? Normal makeup remover also seems to irritate it.

toilet paper + moisturiser.
followed by warm water + flannel

My skin feels gorgeous after using Clinique take the day off balm. You run in on to dry skin and it dissolves into an oil and then rinse off. See if they can let you try some at counter?

TBS camomile balm is a dupe for the clinique stuff if you're on a budget.

I smother my face in good old fashioned cold cream (Boots own brand) then wipe it off with cotton wool/face cloth. I then put a thin layer on before bed. Skin is lovely, no breakouts, no dry patches, just smooth and glowy

Another vote here for Clinique TTDO or TBS Camomile butter. Or you could try coconut oil?

The body shop camomile cleansing butter is amazing-it literally melts away all my make up, even mascara. I never use wipes anymore. Use it with their soft cloths too for max effect (the one that goes hard when they dry).

Garnier Micellar Water! Best ever!

A 40%off code for TBS is 19805 and free delivery over a fiver. I've just ordered some for 6 quid!

I second Garnier Micellar Water, and my all time favourite, Ultrabland from Lush. Amazing stuff.

Aloe Vera gel.

Boots no7 beautiful skin cleansing oil. I massage all over including eyelashes then remove with a warm damp flannel. Has fixed my sensitive winter skin

Top tip dame. I'll give that a go (not that I've figured out what tbs is thanks to your second post )

The Body Shop

Dame - is it this stuff?

Thanks orange - I meant to type "now that", not "not that"!

I suffer with dry skin normally but it became worse during pregnancy. I swear by Avène Extremely Gentle Cleanser. You use your fingers to massage it into your skin (it removes mascara too) and wipe off with cotton wool. No need to rinse, just follow with your night time moisturiser! It relieves any discomfort and reduces redness. I love it!

Yes, that's the stuff!

Baby lotion rubbed all over your face and into eye make up, remove with damp cotton wool then remove the remaining eye make up with Simple eye make up remover. Do not tone as if you are dry and sensitive it will dry you out further.

Turns out the body shop one isn't that much cheaper when you decide to throw some more things in the basket whilst it's 49% off

*40%

Fat thumbs!

I have sensitive, dry skin. I use Simple Rich moisturiser and wipe off with a cotton wool pad.

I would highly recommend if you have dry and sensitive skin TBS aloe Vera range. It's has live bio cultures so it strengthens your skin. It's lovely stuff.

I wash my makeup off. Then apply decent moisturiser, coconut oil or baby oil. Also the Lush moisturisers are awesome too. I can't live without the moisturiser from Lush called 'Skin Drink' I have dry skin and it's my saviour in winter.

TBS Camomile balm as mentioned above. It feels gorgeous, gets everything off without irritating eyes and doesn't leave your skin feeling tight. Also, a big plus for me, doesn't require any cotton wool or similar. Just rub all over face then wash with whatever cleanser you would normally use (or not!). Even gets off several layers of waterproof mascara and eyeliner!

I like Take The Day Off balm by Clinique as well but TBS one is better. Smells nicer.

I tried ultrabland but it was so thick it didn't really get my make up off, just moved it around my face.
