5 steps to use makeup remover wipes correctly: 90% of people ignore key details!

Update:08 Jul

Facial Nonwoven Makeup Remover Wipes may seem simple to use, but incorrect use may lead to incomplete cleaning, skin sensitivity, and even accelerated aging!

Step 1: Choose the right type of wipes (key!)

Misconception: Just pick up a wipe and remove makeup from your entire face

Correct approach: Choose a special wipe according to your makeup and skin type

Heavy makeup/waterproof makeup → wipes containing oily ingredients (such as jojoba oil, mineral oil)

Sensitive skin/light makeup → wipes without alcohol and containing soothing ingredients (aloe vera, witch hazel)

Eye and lips → Special eye and lip makeup remover wipes (avoid irritation of mucous membranes)

Details: Check whether the package is sealed and use it within 30 days after opening (bacteria are easy to breed)

 

Step 2: Remove makeup from the eyes and lips first, then the entire face

Misconception: Wipe the entire face directly and roughly

Correct approach: Remove makeup in different areas to avoid pigmentation

Close your eyes and apply for 5 seconds: Gently press the wipes on the eyelids to dissolve mascara/eyeliner

One-way wiping: From the inner corner of the eye to the outside, avoid rubbing back and forth (pulling the eyelids can easily cause fine lines)

Vertical wiping of the lips: Remove along the direction of the lip lines to reduce the production of dead skin

Details: Cotton wool residue? Use non-woven makeup remover wipes

 

Step 3: Technique is more important than strength

Misconception: Rubbing vigorously "thinks it's cleaner"

Correct method:

Press instead of rubbing: Gently press the wipes on the skin for 3 seconds to allow the ingredients to penetrate

Circle the T-zone: Gently circle the oily areas such as the forehead and nose

Lift the jawline upwards: prevent skin sagging

Details: Use a wipe for at most half of the face to avoid repeated contamination (makeup back-seepage)

 

Step 4: Secondary cleansing is a must!

Myth: Apply skin care without washing face after removing makeup

Correct method:

Warm water rinse: wash away the surfactants left by wet wipes

Amino acid cleansing: secondary cleansing with pH5.5 weak acid cleanser

Cotton pad test: wipe with lotion + cotton pad, it is considered clean only if there is no yellow stain

Details: Waterproof sunscreen needs to be cleaned and removed with a two-in-one product (SPF residue can easily cause closed comedones)

 

Step 5: Instant soothing and repairing

Myth: Not moisturizing in time after removing makeup

Correct method:

Spray cooling: Spray containing ceramide soothes redness

Essence primer: Apply repair essence (such as B5) first, then follow up with skin care

Avoid exfoliation: Do not use acid products within 24 hours after removing makeup

Details: For sensitive skin, ice compress for 3 seconds after removing makeup to shrink blood vessels (reduce stinging sensation)

Complete skin care within 30 minutes after makeup removal (golden repair period)

Instrument testing once a week: Observe makeup removal residue with a dermatoscope (can be done in beauty salons)
