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.

Bioderma micella water is my fave. Trying caudalie version at the mo and it stings my eyes and scent is strong / entirely unnecessary

AM :

Wipe eyes with Liz Earle Eyebright which I keep in the fridge
Then either wipe round with Micellar Water (Bioderma at the moment but Simple also very good) or use REN Centefolia gel wash in the shower

PM (normal day to day makeup):

Take eye makeup off with Take the Day Off Lips and Lids remover
Take makeup off with Micellar Water
Then massage face with Clinique Take the Day Off cleansing balm and take off with flannel soaked in warm water

If I'm taking off heavy night out makeup I will do another wipe round with Micellar Water after my balm cleanse just to make sure I've got everything off.

Done!

Aldi mature skin face wipes for eye make up removal as I wear a waterproof mascara that needs to serious elbow grease to remove... I sort of rub the eyelashes between two fingers with the wipe over.

Estée Lauder perfectly clean 3in1 foaming cleanser, toner and makeup remover for the rest as double wear is a total pig to remove and this is the only thing that shifts it.

Anything stronger brings me out in a terrible rash.

Evening:
I use Ponds Cold Cream, rub all over, leave for a few minutes while I get things ready for my shower, then use a hot flannel to cleanse off. Removes it all, even eye make-up. I do it twice for a double cleanse if I have been wearing make-up. Rinse with water when done. I do like Boots No 7 Hot Cloth Cleanser tooo, cannot use anything from Liz Earle, it gives me allergic conjunctivitis, so now I have to be careful what I put near my eyes, never any oil products.

Morning:
I use Garnier micellar water on a tissue, just swipe all over face, no need to rinse off.
