How to Choose a High Quality Makeup Remover
A good
makeup remover not only does what you'd expect -- thoroughly removing makeup without leaving residue -- it may also have other benefits, like moisturizers or toners, to help your nighttime regimen prepare your skin for makeup the next day. Since a few makeup cleansers seem to redden or irritate the skin, we've developed this guide to lead you to the gentlest, yet most effective choices.
Almay, well-known for producing hypoallergenic
makeup, goes the distance with their equally gentle makeup remover pads, which are non-oily yet hydrating, leaving your skin fresh and clean. It's suitable for sensitive skin and for contact lens wearers. Along the same lines,
L'Oreal has created a refreshing oil-free eye makeup remover, which cleans the delicate area around the eyes without leaving a film; this is also safe for contact lens wearers.
As you can see, makeup removers are generally either moisturized pads or liquid,
toner-style formulas. However,
Olay Mascara Plus makeup remover is a creamy formula that breaks up and dissolves even the heaviest make-up, including mascara, yet is gentle enough to use every day. We're very impressed with the L'Erbolario Cornflower & Rose makeup remover, a gentle tonic milk, primarily for cleansing around the eyes, but effective for removing all cosmetics.
