Make Up Remover

[Guest viv]

Hi All,

Started the first of a few makeup lessons last Sat and as

instructed by my beautician I have to practice a lot ,,,,,, I am.

Problem is my eyes are red and stinging after cleaning off ,

I am using the proper product . Any one else got this problem.

Luv,viv

You might have a mild allergy to one of the ingredients - so you might want to try a different brand.

I just use Noxema cold cream.

It works for me but then I use very little make up.

Love ya,

Sally

I agree with Sally, it could be an allergic reaction, i tried all kinds of makeup removers and what i found that worked best for me was Luvs ultra clean baby wipes, they come in a plastic container and when i run out i get the refills.

Paula!

By golly! That's what I use, too.....the container keeps them moist, they don't burn the eyes, they're refilable, you can use them on your whole face, they clean the bird droppings of of your bike when you park it under a tree in the summer and they're cheap! Here they're about $2.00 a box.....

Good Stuff!

Having a baby, I learned a few tricks about baby wipes. Best ones to get are the ones that have aloe. They sooth the skin nicely and really get all the gook off everything. A great place to get the refills for cheap is Kmart or Target. You could even get a box of the refills packs for relatively cheap to stock up. They can be used to clean so much more than eye make up and ya never know when you'll need them

Use this:

Skin Genesis

It works good and doesnt hurt your eyes or make them all red. The Gel cleanser is really gentle too and works good. Eyeliner can be a pain, but it will come off after one or two washes without irritating your skin. These cost around 5-7 dollars each depending on where you purchase them.

You can buy make up wipes that are specifically designed for sensitive skin, perhaps you should try these.

Hi Hi,

First of all , you never want to sleep in your makeup, your skin needs to breath at night.

I mostly use waterproof mascara, and waterproof eyeliner.

These are the hardest to remove. I first wash my whole face with warm soapy water.

I then cover my face with a generous amount of moisturizing lotion, as far as I'm concerned the brand isn't important.

I then get a Q tip and carefully work around my eyes to remove any left over makeup.

Sometimes I use non waterproof, and then most of it all comes off with just the soapy water, but I still use lotion to moisturize my face.

You can just use your hand cream and rinse it off with a wash rag and warm water. It works great and it helps moisturize the tender skin around your eyes.

Baby wipes with aloe - then an eye serum to moisturize.

Olay makes a makeup removal wipe that my wife introduced me to. They are pretty amazing and take off a lot of makeup fast and moisturize at the same time. They are a little more expensive than baby wipes, but really worth it because you don't have to moisturize after you clean.

I use the Walmart generic makeup remover cloths which work really well. For eye makeup I bought a bottle of Maybelline eye makeup remover (since the cloths don't remove it) and that seemed to work really well too.
