How do you remove makeup?

[wanttotry2017]

Can anyone talk me through their routine to remove make up and what they use? I used to never remove my make up (I know terrible) because I hated wipes and felt cleansers never got rid of much. Then I started using ponds cold cream which I love but I think it is Makingme get pimples which I don't normally get.

Garner micellar water.

Baby wipes; have used Johnston's sensitive for years.

To the above poster who said about taking a hot flannel to the face; how do you get shot of your mascara though?

Garnier even!

Another micellar water convert. Use the Garnier for sensitive and combination skin

It’s cheap, £2 per bottle and just wipes off
I’ve also got the micellar face wash which is currently £1 for in the shower in the morning

Witch hazel. Have done since I was 12. £1.20 a bottle and it leaves my skin really clean!

Baby wipes

I use an eye make up remover (Lancôme or Garnier) and La Roche Posay micellar cleanser.

Then a second cleanse with a Neutrogena face wash or a balm cleanser depending on how much time I've got.

Toner followed by moisturiser.

Eve Lom....warm on fingertips, massage all over face, take off with a few repeated hot cloth (I use a proper flannel, not the muslin provided) once overs...leaves my super sensitive, very pale skin feeling wonderfully clean and not 'tight'. It is my favourite product ever. So easy, expensive - though I stock up in the sale - but lasts AGES as you need just a tiny amount.

@bingohandjob my fave too but I NEVER see it in the sale. I get mine from space nk . Please please, where is your sale source?

Botanics balm cleanser from boots is lovely. It takes everything off and feels like a luxury product - but much cheaper.

Liz earle cleanse and polish all the way. One product that does it all.

Simple eye make up remover over my whole face. Then normal face wash.

I'm going to get some of th body shop camomile stuff soon as I've heard good things. I currently use baby lotion, then tone and moisturise but feels a bit heavy

Nivea cleansing milk to remove my make up then seaweed face wash from the Body Shop then i use the seaweed toner to remove any make up I've missed when washing my face.

Liz Earle hot cloth Cleanser, love it!
Removes all make up including mascara and doesn't leave my skin feeling dry or tight.

Garnier miscellar water is very affordable and removes makeup without much effort.

I use Johnson's baby lotion.

Smear over face, including eyes, wipe away with cotton wool pads.

Ridiculously cheap and very efficient.

FWIW I don't moisturise afterwards.

Body shop camomile oil. Used the balm for years but the oil is even better.

**oil over face and eyes then remove with a tepid flannel.

Cotton wool pads with Nivea Cleansing Milk. Then I use toner or micellar water afterwards to remove the last traces. If I've run out of cleansing milk I use Astral instead (it's great for removing waterproof mascara).

Then I sometimes wash my face with an exfoliating scrub to make my skin feel extra clean.

The odd times I have worn makeup I've taken makeup remover wipes with me or I've made sure I've had some.
For example I've only worn makeup a few times (for Halloween when I visited a friend at uni, and a bit when I was at uni myself). But I'm not a makeup person. I can't apply it and the women in my family aren't makeup women at all. (I've got nothing against it at all, I just don't ever wear it). Didn't even at prom or on my wedding day. Never regretted it.

I use plain coconut oil - works wonders. I also use a bit of neutrogena eye makeup remover with a cotton pad if I've done some heavy eye makeup that day.
And I keep one pack of the simple makeup remover towels by my bedside and use it on days when I'm being super lazy. I used to be like you and often slept with my makeup on, but it's terrible! My lazy solution of the disposable towels isn't great but I go through one pack (of 25) every 6-9 months so only resort to it on the laziest of days. Still better than letting my pores clog up!
