Why remove your makeup and cleanse your face?
As sun protection skincare is often made sticky, it is difficult to completely remove it unless we use a makeup remover.

So to inspire us to all live up to our skincare potential, we’ve compiled a guide to 3 different types of makeup remover. For the dry, the oily and the busy, here’s the details on the best makeup removers for your skin type.
1. Make Up Remover
Generally skincare manufacturer create make up remover specifically for the eyes. Especially for water-proof mascara.
For the last 3 years, I have been using the Guinot Gentle Eye Make Up Remover for both my face and eyes. I love its gel texture and non alcohol composition. Non stinging, non drying and totally natural (with no paraben, non chemical).
2. Cleansing Oil
It can be quite counter intuitive to use an oil based cleanser on oily face. If used appropriately, it not only deep cleanse but also help to leave the skin supple and balanced. First spread the Guinot Brightening Cleansing Oil evenly on the skin. Wet your finger tips and in circular motion, emulsify the oil before washing off.
Skin forms a lipid barrier and does not allow water to penetrate it. However, cleansing oil can help to go into the pores and draw out impurities and congestion. Hence, it also acts a a 2-in-1 make up remover.
3. Micellar Solution
Micellar Solution is another big hit in the beauty industry recently. It works both as a make up remover and a toner.
Some of us, use the Micellar Solution as a make up remover as well as a toner. This helps to reduce the number of products on our vanity table.
