Remove your makeup!

Did you know that if you sleep in makeup you'll affect your skin's health and your skin will only recover 28 days later?

It seems as if a lot of ladies out there do not know how to effectively remove their makeup (ie no traces of makeup left on face or lashline.) Heard someone mention today that she doesn't use makeup because it is difficult to remove them. NOT TRUE!

You only need TWO items to clean your face entirely.

  • Eye & Lip makeup remover. Pour some on cotton square, press gently against eyelid. Press finger gently along your lashes. Count to 5 and wipe eyelid with cotton square in one slide. I use Loreal Demo-Expertise Gentle Lip & Eye Makeup Remover or Clinique Take the Day Off Makeup Remover for Lids, Lashes and Lips. The former is the affordable choice.



  • Cream/ oil makeup remover. Dot generous among of cream/oil makeup remover on the peaks of your face (nose, forehead, cheeks, chin) and massage in circular motions to dissolve makeup on your face. Massage for a good 30 seconds and wipe off with tissue or cotton square. I use Eucerin Gentle Cleansing Milk or Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil. The former is the affordable choice.




Then continue with your normal cleansing, toning and moisturising routine. Good luck ya and wear makeup!
