Did you know using your makeup wipes the wrong way can damage your skin?
This is an amazing hack I practice everyday. Use coconut oil in place of your regular eye makeup remover unless you have oily skin. Dab some oil on to cotton and wipe your makeup easily. Even waterproof makeup comes out easily without much of a struggle.

  1. Do you rinse your face immediately after using a makeup wipe? If not then you are making a mistake. If you have noticed after using a makeup wipe your face tends to start drying out like it does while using a hand sanitizer. This can rip your skin off the natural moisture and leaves your skin dry and irritated.
  2. Do you use your makeup wipe around your eyes and the lips too? Avoid doing so because these are sensitive areas and the strong chemicals and preservatives on the makeup wipe can harm the sensitive areas on your face.
  3. Do you forget to apply moisturizer after using a makeup wipe? If you use a makeup wipe then chances are that you want to cut time from your makeup cleaning routine, but you must keep in mind that some makeup wipes have alcohol that can make your skin too dry. Especially if you have dry or combination skin, apply moisturizer positively after using a makeup wipe.
  4. Do you check the ingredients used in the makeup wipes before buying it? This is one mistake most people make. Even if you feel you don't understand the terms used in the ingredients column, make it a point to do some research on it. Ask a skin specialist and use a makeup wipe according to your skin type recommended by an expert.
