How to remove waterproof mascara?

Two-phase makeup remover

The best waterproof makeup remover is a two-phase makeup remover specifically designed for eyes and lips. This beauty product removes mascara gently and carefully, without damaging the skin or causing discomfort; it is suitable for both those with dry and oily skin.

The top layer of the two-phase liquid is an oil solution that contains natural oil or oils. It is this component that helps to effectively dissolve waterproof mascara and remove it from eyelashes, and also carefully cares for the skin around the eyes. The bottom layer is water, which allows you to remove the oil film, cleanse the skin and refresh it.

How to use it?

Using a two-phase makeup remover is very simple. Apply the product to a cotton pad and place it on your eyelids for a couple of seconds to dissolve the mascara. Then use the other side of the disc to remove makeup from your face using gentle movements without rubbing the skin.

Shake the product first if you are removing regular makeup. If we are talking about waterproof mascara, do not shake the product, but use its upper part. With the help of concentrated oil in the top layer, the mascara will dissolve faster.

What else can you use to remove waterproof mascara?

If you don't have a two-phase makeup product on hand, you can try other makeup remover products, but they cannot guarantee the same result - it all depends on the manufacturer and composition. Such beauty products include hydrophilic oils, micellar water, cleansing wipes or milk.

If these products do not give a positive result, it is better not to overdo it and not rub the skin to the point of redness. In this case, use any cosmetic oil that will help take control of the situation. Apply it to a cotton pad and press it onto your eyelids.

Why should you not remove waterproof makeup?

We strongly do not recommend using an improvised product such as soap to remove waterproof mascara. Firstly, it simply will not give the desired result, and secondly, it will cause dry skin around the eyes, eyelash loss and, if used carelessly, painful sensations.

Moreover, sometimes they try to remove waterproof mascara with alcohol. This is not only ineffective, but also downright dangerous. This action can lead to burns of the skin around the eyes and damage to the mucous membrane, which is extremely dangerous for vision.
