Sleeping with a face of glam, although a tempting prospect after a long day, invites a lot of skin woes. The makeup, along with the dust and grime it accumulates, clogs the pores, hindering cellular regeneration of the skin. The result? Signs of skin irritation like acne, redness, inflammation, dullness or even uncomfortable tautness creeping up on you the first chance it gets. Counter these aforementioned concerns and wake up to soft, tender skin by investing in an infallible makeup remover. Available in different formats (re: balm, milk, wipe and micellar water), a meticulous makeup remover casts away the most resilient and long-lasting of formulas from your skin – be it a durable lip stain or water-resistant eyeliner.
