How to judge whether the makeup is removed cleanly

Makeup removal is a key step in daily skin care. Only by removing facial makeup cleanly can we ensure that the skin can properly digest and absorb skin care products in the later stage. So in daily life, how do we judge whether the makeup is removed cleanly? Next, I will introduce to you how to judge whether the makeup is removed cleanly, and teach you the methods and techniques for removing makeup from different parts of the body.

What are the techniques and procedures for removing makeup?

Remove foundation

A. Add an appropriate amount of makeup remover and apply evenly to the face and neck with a cotton pad or fingertips, massaging gently in circular motions.

B. Gently brush your nose in a spiral motion from the outside to the inside, and remove makeup from the neck from the bottom to the top.

C. Wipe it clean with tissue paper or cosmetic cotton, and repeat the above steps until there is no foundation color on the tissue paper or cosmetic cotton.

Remove pink eyeshadow

Around the eyes:

A. Pour a coin-sized amount of eye makeup remover onto a cotton pad and wet it thoroughly.

B. Lightly apply the cotton pad around the eyes and use the middle thumb and ring finger of your right hand to gently press along the slope of the eye area to allow the makeup remover to completely dissolve the makeup around the eyes.

C. Use a cotton pad to gently wipe the area around the eyes along the slope of the eye area, from the corner of the eye to the upper eyelid, and use light movements of your arms when wiping.

D. Place a cotton pad soaked in makeup remover on the lower eyelid, and use the cotton ball to carefully remove the eyeliner along the growth direction of the eyelashes.

E. Lift the upper eyelid gently, and use a cotton swab to gently wipe off the eye makeup and the tiny residue around the eye along the root of the eyelashes.

F. When removing moisture-proof eyeliner, use a cotton ball dipped in makeup remover, slowly stay at the root of the eyelashes for 5 seconds, and finally remove from top to bottom along the eyelashes. The lower eyelashes and lower eyeliner can be partially cleaned with a cotton ball dipped in eye makeup remover.

Lips:

A. Dip a cotton pad in eye and lip makeup remover and gently apply it to the lips for a few seconds. After the makeup remover dissolves the lip makeup, use the cotton pad to wipe the lips horizontally.

B. Next, use a cotton pad dipped in makeup remover to wipe from the mouth inwards, and when wiping the mouth, make sure to move inwards.

C. Use a cotton ball dipped in makeup remover to clean your mouth, lip lines and other blind areas.

D. After removing makeup, you can wash your lips with cold water. After removing makeup, you should apply lipstick to protect your lips to prevent the lip line from getting worse. You can also do a lip mask.

How do you know if you have removed your makeup thoroughly?

Have you made these 6 common misconceptions about makeup removal?

Misconception 1: Using cotton pads/paper to remove makeup

Most makeup products are water-soluble, especially moisture-proof makeup products. Therefore, using a makeup remover that "dissolves oil with oil" to remove the makeup is both clean and harmless to the skin. As for cosmetic cotton/paper, since they do not use edible oil to dissolve stains, they all need to be removed with strong solvents. After long-term use, they will penetrate into the skin, making the skin dry and sensitive, and even lose elasticity and form wrinkles.

Misconception 2: Cleansing and removing makeup is done in one step

Many cleansers say they can remove natural makeup, so many girls just wash once with such a cleanser for the sake of convenience and think everything is fine. In fact, makeup removal and cleansing are two completely separate skin care procedures and cannot be performed at the same time. Just like the two-in-one shampoo is not very easy to use.

Misconception 3: No need for cleanser after makeup remover

Many girls see the white color of makeup remover emulsion and think that their face has been washed clean. In fact, it is not. After removing makeup, heavy metal ions, dust and other stains will continue to remain on the face, which need to be cleaned by facial cleanser, otherwise these stains will clog the pores of the skin and turn into closed comedones over time.

Misconception 4: Cleansing your face more often is equivalent to removing makeup

Increasing the frequency of cleansing is not a good thing. While removing residual makeup stains, the oil and moisture that protect the skin are also taken away. Excessive cleansing will make the skin feel uncomfortable. If you are wearing heavy makeup or applying moisture-proof eyeliner, you should not use simple cleansing products to remove makeup, because ordinary facial cleansers cannot dissolve oil paint, and the cleaning effect is much worse.

Misconception 5: Regular makeup removers can also remove pink eyeshadow

The eyes and lips are thin and have few sebaceous glands, so very gentle makeup removers are needed. Eye and lip makeup removers can not only clean up greasy waste, but are also specially designed for delicate skin. Ordinary makeup removers do not meet these standards.

Misconception 6: Remove makeup even if you don’t have any makeup on

There are many promotional advertisements. Nowadays, environmental pollution is very serious, and even if you don’t have makeup, you still need to find makeup remover products. But is it really necessary? Environmental pollution is mostly water-soluble stains such as dust, smoke, and sulfur dioxide. These stains can be removed with facial cleanser. If you don’t have any makeup, you still have to imitate others to remove makeup. Excessive cleaning of the skin will cause symptoms such as sensitivity and dryness. Please note that if you use ultra-high sunscreen or isolation milk, you still need to remove makeup.
