Unfortunately for us, some good things always have to come to an end…
In this case, the joy of wearing makeup ends when you have to wash it off by the end of day. I get it washing your face can be a hassle, but trust me it is totally worth it. Sleeping with makeup brings no good news. The makeup mixes with oil, sweat and dirt, clogs your pores which allows acne causing bacteria to spread and cause blemishes to erupt. Sleeping in your makeup also causes dehydration to your skin leaving it dry and cracked.
If you are like me, I always wipe off my makeup before I wash my face. I realized that when I don’t do this, my foundation runs and stains everywhere and also, there is always residue on my face towel, even after cleansing.
Before I wash my face, there are a few things, listed below, I do that can help you get all the makeup out, clean your pores and get you ready for a good face wash;
FACE
If you have on light make up, maybe just a concealer, or minimal makeup, you can use;
Micellar Cleansing water
If you have on full make up, I will suggest you remove your make up with;
Make up remover cleansing wipes or baby wipes
Suggestion:
Moisturizing cleansers
Suggestion:
Oil Cleaner
EYES
Removing mascara, eyeliner and eye shadow can be very hard if you only wash your face. You have to find the right oil based products to help you lift the eye liner and make it easier to wipe off; Here are some helpful suggestions;

Always choose the oil-free varieties; acne-prone skin tends to produce more than enough oil on its own. My skin is acne prone i started using Revitol Acnezine Acne Cream which really worked for curing my acne.
