Eye shadows, mascara and eyeliners are used to give a sensual and elegant touch to our eyes, but when it comes to getting rid of makeup it is important to take into account certain precautions to avoid damaging the delicate skin around the eyes.

To start removing make-up, nothing better than wetting a cotton pad with micellar water and leaving it on the eyelids for a few seconds to absorb any traces of make-up. Micellar waters contain particles called micelles that attract water and grease, encapsulating dirt inside without damaging the hydrolipidic layer that protects the skin.

This way we will avoid damaging the skin of the eyelids or losing eyelashes, something very common when we rub hard to remove mascara or eyeliner. Then we can use a new cotton pad and make gentle downward movements on the eyelids delicately and in one direction only. In this way, we can remove any residues that may have remained on the skin.

It is important to remember to remove make-up every night before going to bed, to prevent make-up and particles that accumulate on the face throughout the day from preventing the skin from carrying out its natural regeneration process. In addition, it is recommended to applyeye cream after removing eye makeup to moisturize the area and help prevent the appearance of dark circles and crow’s feet.
