OR removing makeup is just as important as its application, especially when using waterproof products. If you’re used to wearing makeup every day, even on vacation, you probably prefer products that can withstand moisture and sweat for longer.

But it’s important to know how to properly remove waterproof makeup, especially from the sensitive eye area.

Use of specialized products

Although some facial cleansers can dissolve some waterproof formulas, the most effective way to remove waterproof makeup is to use a specialized makeup remover product designed specifically for the face and eyes. These products are made to effectively remove stubborn makeup without irritating the skin.

Make-up removal trays

You can use disposable makeup remover pads, but reusable cotton pads are a more eco-friendly and cost-effective option. These discs usually provide better results as they are gentler and help remove makeup without causing irritation.

Patience and…persistence

When removing waterproof mascara, it’s important to leave the soaked makeup remover pad on your lids for 1-2 minutes. This allows the product to dissolve the mascara so it can be completely removed from the lashes without having to scrub hard. You have to be patient!

Careful movements

The make-up removal process should be done with gentle movements, especially in the eye area which is sensitive. Avoid hasty and strong movements, to protect your skin and maintain its health.
