The most important step after applying make-up is removing every last trace, especially when it comes to party season.
Long-lasting foundations and waterproof mascara are just a few of the products made to withstand all-night festivities, but they're also prone to clog pores and wreak havoc to the skin if left on too long.
The first step in your after-party cleansing routine should be a make-up remover, which works to dissolve lipstick, mascara and other cosmetics without damaging the skin or delicate eye area.
Cle de Peau Beaute Eye and Lip Makeup Remover works to quickly yet gently remove long-wearing and waterproof make-up. It should be applied with cotton before your regular cleansing routine.
Biotherm Biosource Cleansing Oil uses plant oils from apricot kernels and sunflower seeds to create a creamy emulsion that removes make-up and surface dirt. It can be applied to the face and eyes, and rinsed off or removed with tissue.
As the name suggests, Clinique's Take the Day Off Cleansing Milk dissolves long-wearing make-up and sunscreen. The non-foamy formula is suitable for drier skins and can be rinsed with water or removed with tissue. Ingredients include shea butter to prevent water loss, sodium hyaluronate to maintain the skin's moisture barrier, and sucrose and caffeine to soothe irritation.
