It’s not always easy to find the right cleanser. Here are top tips on how to find a gentle makeup remover that suits you:
Ask friends and family
Reach out to people you know and ask them about their experience with particular brands and products. If you know someone who’s already using the product you have in mind, then ask them about their experience. This way, you can avoid spending money on brands or skincare items that aren’t right for your skin.
Be on the lookout for signs
If you see pimples breaking out the morning after you’ve used a new product, then that could be an allergic reaction. If you aren’t convinced and think that the breakout might be due to other reasons, set the product aside for a few days and when your skin comes to normal, give it a try by applying it to the back of your hand. If irritation persists, then you know you and the product simply aren’t compatible.
Your skin feels too tight
That’s a sign that the product might be too harsh for your skin. Other signs include dryness or irritation, says the Beauty Editor. A gentle makeup remover won’t result in these reactions so if you feel the tightness after using the cleanser, then you’ll need to shop for a new one sooner than later.
Read reviews
There’s a wealth of information online about beauty products and you can easily find reviews and feedback to know what other people think of the product. Were they happy with it? What kind of problems did they encounter? Will they buy it again? These are just a few of the questions those reviews can answer.
Know your skin type
It helps knowing what your skin type is—dry, oily or a combination of both—before you go out and look for a skincare product. Identifying products that work on your skin will be so much easier.
