HOW TO USE YOUR EYE MAKEUP REMOVER

The first thing to remember when you’re learning how to remove eye makeup is: be gentle. Your eyes are the most delicate area of your face – especially the skin around your eye.

There are a few simple steps to eye makeup removal:

Firstly, remember to use a fresh cotton pad or wipe as soon as the one you’re using becomes dirty.
Dampen a cotton ball with your chosen eye makeup remover.
Begin with your eyelids: Hold the cotton ball over your closed eyelid for a few seconds to loosen makeup and use a couple of gentle, outward strokes to remove the makeup from the upper lid and lashes.
Move onto your eyelashes: Gently roll a new cotton ball under the lashes to remove the remaining makeup. Repeat until the cotton comes up clean.
Finish by cleansing and moisturising. Once you’ve removed all your makeup, gently cleanse your face and finish up with a regenerative night cream and rejuvenating eye cream. Use your ring finger to very gently blend it in, between the cheekbone and the under eye.
If you’re in a rush or on the go, you can gently wipe away your makeup with some handy makeup removal wipes. Pure facial cleansing wipes with Vitamin E & Pro-vitamin B or NIVEA 3 in 1 Gentle Cleansing Wipes with an especially mild formula for dry sensitive skin are especially gentle on skin and the delicate eye area.
