TAKING IT ALL OFF: MY RECOMMENDED MAKE-UP REMOVERS

After a serious acne breakout and with my wedding just a few months away, I realised I have to rethink and get serious in how I remove my make-up before going to sleep. I realise I am not vigilant in removing my makeup which I believe is one of the reason for my breakouts. Even if I don't wear foundation but I use heavy duty concealer which if not properly removed can cause clogged pore leading to acne.

I used to just straight off wash my face with my facial wash & tone and that is it for my cleansing regimen. But now I know better, I need to use a proper make-up remover to get rid of all the junk I put on my face during the day. Since I have also a sensitive skin (gosh, I'm lucky! *sarcasm...), I am wary in trying new make-up removers. I tried using before popular oil-based make-up remover which only lead to more break-outs.

But after identifying and accepting that my skin is sensitive and acne-prone, I finally found the perfect make-up removers for me. Weeee!

Nowadays, I remove my make-up immediately after work. I don't allow it to sit in my face in longer periods of time. Then what  do is use GARNIER CLEAN SENSITIVE GENTLE CLEANSING MILK.

The instruction say, put an amount on a cotton pad and wipe off make-up. But I do it differently. What I do is to put the milk directly to my face and I massage the make-up off my face then wipe it with cotton pads. 

Then to insure that all make-up is totally remove, I wipe my face off with SIMPLE KIND TO SKIN CLEANSING FACIAL WIPES.

Simple products are popular UK brand that specialised on products for sensitive skin. A friend of mine mentioned this brand in passing and I decided to try it out. This is also very handy. I bring this  along when I'm going to the gym. I removed my make-up before I do any gym classes. Sweating and make-up are not perfect combination.

When my make-up removing regimen is done, I wash it with  either my regular Salicylic Acid wash or Cetaphil wash or my oatmeal bar soap. I noticed the difference after using my make-up removers. My face doesn't feel like sand paper and that I don't need to scrub it too much to take the make-up off. Now washing my face is such a joy because my skin feels smooth and my facial wash just glides on perfectly.

However, these makeup removers are not really good in removing my water-proof mascara. I have to wipe and scrub my anorexic lashes with the facial wipes a couple of times. I have yet to find my holy grail eye make-up remover. Any suggestions?
