What do you use to take off face makeup?

[CallieMar]

I use the double cleansing method. Cleansing oil first - right now I'm using a Japanese one (Kose Softymo Deep Cleansing Oil) that is inexpensive and easy to find on Amazon, but Western brands are catching on - I've heard good things about Neutrogena and Palmer's. And Cerave Foaming Facial Wash to rinse everything clean. This gets rid of a full face of makeup, plus sunscreen, so easily without any scrubbing. I used to use Purity Made Simple and a Clarisonic and it would still leave traces of makeup.

My pillow, then a foaming facial wash in the morning.

I use either micellar water or a makeup removing cloth, then cleanse with my normal cleanser. The first step is simply to remove most, if not all, of my makeup while the second is to remove oil, dirt, etc.

Neutrogena wipes

 

[Minnesota!]

Target generic unscented baby wipes. Costs about $7 for a 3 pack and last a long time...

I usually use Almay eye makeup remover pads for my eyes and then Simple face wipes for everything else. I'm also a huge fan of the Liz Earle cleanser that you use with the hot cloths, but due to laziness, I usually go for the wipes.

Makeup wipes make my face breakout. No matter which brand.

In the summer, Origins checks and balances. If I still have some mascara on, I use Almay eye remover pads. The Origins is very concentrated so a pea size works and I have sweaty oily skin in the summer so nothing too greasy either.

In the winter, I use purity.

But what works for me a 50 yo might not work for a teenager with skin that isn't as dry as mine.

I remove eye makeup with Almay eye makeup remover pads (no oil). Then I use a Kirkland brand makeup remover cloth from Costco. Next, I use a clean washcloth and warm water to wipe my whole face down. Last I put on a lip balm and a squirt of Eucerin face lotion. I've been doing this same thing for years and years.

My teen niece uses Target brand makeup remover cloths in the orange colored package. I believe they are replicating the Neutrogena citrus anti-blemish one at a much cheaper cost. According to her, this is what all the girls use. I am just happy to see that she has established a face cleansing routine. I think that's the most important part.

I had used Dove at night for most of my adult life. A couple years ago I switched to the Neutrogena make up removing wipes. I love them and would never go back. I'm not sure if its the rubbing of the wipe, but my skin has never been this clear. I used to get a couple pimples every month, but now I get one every 4-6 months. I still use Dove in the morning on my face in the shower.

You can get a big box of the Neutrogena wipes at Sam's or Costco. I bought a box of 125 for $14 recently at Sam's.

Micellar water is really one of the best things for your skin, I personally use kirkland brand makeup wipes right now but when they run out I will be trying something else because they leave me with a pretty red face.

 

[lesliekatya]

Coconut oil for eye makeup and Huggies natural care baby wipes for everything else. I'm lazy.

I use regular Pond's cream right now... Or baby wipes in a pinch. I used to use Garnier Cleansing Oil but I haven't been able to find it

Same here except I actually wipe off the ponds with a baby wipe, only because I've found the makeup tends to ruin my washcloths. I tried all the expensive special make up removers and face wash stuff and good ole ponds and baby wipes does a better job.

I use good old Ponds cold cream and like it very much.

soap and water and a washcloth

 

[pezheadmeg]

Neutrogena wipes followed by St. Ives Apricot scrub. I own up to splurging on make up, there the only 2 drugstore products in my regime.

 

[low-key]

If I wore makeup I would just rub dirt on it, until it went away

 

[xlsm]

makeup remover wipes and/or coconut oil, then wash with neutrogena. I use coconut oil as a moisturizer many nights as well. It's pretty amazing stuff.

I love Oil of Olay makeup wipes. They work great, have a moisturizer and a clean grapefruit scent.
