What’s the most dreadful part about wearing makeup? Well, removing it. Imagine, returning home after a hectic day and knowing that you still have to go through one more task (of removing makeup, ofcourse) before hitting the bed. Ain’t easy, right? And, sleeping with makeup on is a strict no-no. When nothing works, hacks completely do!
To make this entire coming-home-and-removing-makeup-before-bed saga easier for you, here are some hacks that’ll not give you any more reasons to complain, we promise.
Coconut Oil
Infused with omega-3 fatty acids, coconut oil makes for a powerful lubricant capable of removing makeup particles. To get rid of the most stubborn and waterproof makeup, all you need to do is take a cotton swab, dip it in coconut oil and dab it on your face. The best part about using coconut oil as a makeup remover is that you don’t need to rub too rigorously. Once your makeup has been sufficiently melted away, rinse your face with warm water and pat dry.
Baby Oil
For all you makeup addicts out there, baby oil is your best bet when it comes to getting rid of all the makeup quickly, before hitting the bed. The natural ingredients present in baby oil sooth sensitivity issues but, more importantly, the rich formula is a great way to deeply penetrate the skin and restore moisture.
Micellar water
Apart from removing makeup, micellar cleansing water also helps unclog pores, hydrates skin and leaves no residue behind. We suggest you go for the Simple Kind To Skin Micellar Cleansing Water as it is a multi-functional product that every girl on the go, needs in her life RN! The best part is you don’t even need to rinse your face afterwards.
Milk + Almond Oil
Take the last few swigs of milk from your refrigerator and mix it with a few drops of sweet almond oil. And ta-da! You have an all-new makeup remover. Apply this mixture with a cotton swab to your face. This method is not only inexpensive but also a natural cleanser for your face.
Steam
Steaming your face is the most convenient way to get rid of all your makeup. Fill the sink with hot water and then lean over it for a few minutes till the steam unclogs your pores. This will make it easier for you to remove makeup with your regular face soap.
