It is most difficult to do this with the usual “cleanser” - firstly, it will pinch, it can irritate the skin and cause reddening of the white of the eye. Secondly, the usual gel does not care about the skin, it can provoke its aging and dry mercilessly. Means aimed specifically at the area around the eyes are distinguished by tenderness and softness.

As with any agent for the skin, the agent for the eye area should be selected according to the type of skin. So, for oily or combination is best to choose a lotion or micellar water. For dry or sensitive, dehydrated - cream or milk, a universal option would be hydrophilic or regular oil.

Greater importance is age, because over time, the needs of any type of skin change. So, for girls over the age of twenty-five, cosmetics with the addition of anti-aging components — snail mucin, hyaluronic acid, collagen — should be used. Vitamins A and E will not be superfluous. The makeup remover should not only cleanse, but also tone and moisturize.

Most of the makeup should disappear already at this stage, and the rest gently blot with the clean side of the disc or napkin. Now proceed to your usual make-up remover - micellar water, hydrophilic oil and gel or foam suitable for your skin type.
