I don’t have any facial cleanser when I go out, how can I remove my makeup?

Method 1: Use olive oil

Put some olive oil into the palm of your hand and heat it, then apply it on the whole face. Be careful not to exceed 30 seconds. Apply it twice and then apply it with a cotton pad or Wipe it off gently with a napkin and you will find that the makeup has been removed. If you are afraid that it will not be clean, you can repeat the operation a few times. Generally, it will be clean after 2 times. You can check to see if there is any color on the cotton pad after applying it. If it is full of yellow oil, it is already clean.

Method 2: Use lotion

The essence of makeup removal is oil-soluble oil. If there is no makeup removal product, you can try using lotion. Massage with lotion, wipe it off with a paper towel, and then wash it with water a few times.

Method 3: Moisturizing lotion

Use Johnson’s BB oil, lip balm (not mint-flavored, so as not to irritate your eyes), and body lotion to remove makeup in an emergency. So when there is no makeup remover, we can find these things around us, and then we can easily remove makeup, which is convenient and easy to use. When there is no makeup remover, we don’t have to worry.

Four misunderstandings about makeup removal:

Myth 1: Frequent use of makeup remover oil

The main component of makeup remover oil is oil and emulsifiers. After using something like foundation, removing makeup with cleansing oil becomes easy and thorough. Although cleansing oil can deeply cleanse the skin, some people still experience discomfort such as acne and inflammation. This is mainly related to the complex oily components of cleansing oil. There are usually three types of oily components in cleansing oil: mineral oil and synthetic esters. and vegetable oil.

Using cleansing oil every time to remove makeup may seem like a good habit for thorough cleansing, but it is not. In order to reduce unnecessary irritation to the skin, cleansing oil should only be used when makeup is heavy.

If you must use it every day, then you must choose a cleansing oil suitable for your skin type to reward your delicate and youthful skin. It is best to cleanse it with a cleansing product afterwards.

Myth 2: Makeup removal and face washing can be completed in one step

Many facial cleansers say they can remove light makeup, so many women try to save trouble and feel everything is fine after just one wash with such a facial cleanser. In fact, makeup removal and face washing are two completely independent skin care steps and cannot be performed at the same time. Just like a two-in-one shampoo is not easy to use.

Myth 3: No facial cleanser is needed after makeup remover

Many women see the makeup remover emulsified and white, and think that their face has been washed clean. In fact, after removing makeup, there are still some residue on the face. Heavy metal ions, dust and other dirt will remain, which needs facial cleanser to clean. Otherwise, these dirt will clog the pores and form closed acne over time.

Myth 4: Washing your face more often means removing makeup

Wash your face more often is not a good thing. While removing residual makeup and dirt, it also takes away the oil and moisture that protects the skin. Washing your face too much can make your skin uncomfortable.

If you wear heavy makeup or waterproof mascara, you cannot use simple facial cleansing products to remove makeup, because ordinary cleansing products cannot dissolve oil paint and the cleaning effect is not good. Much worse.
