Mascara, eye pencil and full coverage foundation are the cosmetics that, in most cases, have waterproof features. Not surprisingly, these cannot be removed with a regular micelle liquid, a foam or a gel. In fact, in order to remove waterproof make-up, it is recommended to use products that are characterized by their oily consistency or a dual-action formula.

Lips and eyes make-up removal

The most difficult to remove are the matte and fully covering lipsticks and lip glosses. Their residues can stay on lips and even cling into the dips of skin lips. Fierce rubbing, especially done with the use of a cotton pad dampen with a regular removing lotion, might cause irritations of this extremely delicate part of face. It is best to treat lips with oily substances.

When it comes to eye make-up removal, it should be performed using dual-action liquids. Thanks to these substances, you will easily get rid of all of the waterproof versions of a mascara, an eye pencil, an eyeliner and an eye-shadows. How to use such liquids? Firstly, shake the bottle vigorously in order to mix two layers, the watery-like and the oily one. Then, damp a cotton pad with the mixture and press it towards your eye. Remember, do not rub the eyelids and eyelashes with the cotton pad since this might lead to their damage. Wait a while till the make-up relocates from your face onto the cotton pad. You can change the cotton pad as many times as all the colour cosmetics become removed from your face completely.

Face make-up removal

Heavy make-up foundations and well as concealers can be removed with the usage of make-up removing oils, cream-like liquids, lotions or special make-up removing tissues. Basically, the cosmetic should be massaged into skin using round motions and then removed with a tissue, a cotton pad or just rinsed with lukewarm water. Fairly popular method of make-up removing routine is also so-called OCM (Oil Cleansing Method). As the name speaks for itself, this technique consists in lubricating face with oils. This method is recommended especially for people having oily skin since only oil (as a cosmetic) is able to remove other oil (as sebum generated by the skin.) The mixture of oils should be applied on complexion, massaged gently and then covered with a towel damped into warm water. Such a treatment has to be repeated twice of three times. After a while, it is suggested to remove oil from the skin. OCM removes whole make-up and has the power to unclog skin pores. What is more, due to this beautifying technique, our complexion gets nourished and the deeper layers of dermis become moisturized.
