Beauty-bloggers approved best makeup removers of 2020
TREND / 2020-09-23
As much fun as it is to put on makeup and test new looks, it is equally annoying having to take it all off at the end of a long day. We are all guilty of leaving a full face of makeup on overnight once in every while. But, even a couple of times can do much harm to your skin than you’d anticipate. Taking off makeup is an essential part of your beauty care regime. But removing makeup shouldn’t be a taxing job. You shouldn’t have to scrub, cleanse, and rinse, like, nine times to get everything off your skin – if only you have the right makeup remover at your disposal. Taking off makeup before sleeping helps prevent breakouts, irritation, and premature aging. The right makeup remover will gently dissolve everything without stripping your skin raw.
Not sure where to start? Try out some of the makeup guru-favorites and our bestsellers below, that will actually help speed up your nightly beauty routine, so you can crawl into bed and cozy up that Netflix documentary tension-free.

While it’s probably common knowledge by now that you need to take your makeup off before bed to keep your skin in good health, not all makeup removers are created equal. Hence, it is important to understand the ingredients of the cleanser. Some products available in the market claim to be tall but are so inefficient they require you to scrub your face raw before you can get that long-lasting eyeliner to budge. In order to find the best removers out there for both facial makeup and eye makeup, consider your skin type carefully. After all, you don’t want to end up with clogged pores, redness, and myriad other skin-care concerns. Choose non comedogenic, and preferably alcohol-free makeup removers, so they can work for all types of skin, especially the sensitive ones.
