There is truly no better feeling than removing your makeup after a long day. Sleeping in your makeup is one of the number one causes for acne and irritated skin, so it’s important to make sure that you take all of your makeup off every night. Keep reading for the most effective ways to remove it.

Micellar Water and Cleanse.

Micellar water is a combination of purified water and mild surfactants, that help break up oils on your skin. Wipe your skin with micellar water and then cleanse with your normal facial cleanser to ensure you get all the remnant of makeup off.

Double Cleanse.

Similar to using the micellar water, a double cleanse is just what is sounds like. Use an oil-based cleanser to gently wipe away your makeup from the day and rinse. Once you’ve done that, go back in with the same cleanser to remove any residue that has been leftover from the first cleanse.

Use microfiber makeup remover towelettes.

Another great way to remove makeup before cleansing is to use microfiber makeup towelettes like the ones from Face Halo or Makeup Eraser. You simply dampen these cloths and gently wipe away makeup from the day and then proceed with your normal face cleanser. They are machine washable and reusable.
