How to remove mascara without damaging eyelashes: the best ways

No matter what kind of makeup you choose – bright and intense or delicate and romantic, no look is complete without a few swipes of mascara. High-quality mascara will help you create thick, luxurious lashes that emphasize your eyes and visually enlarge them.

And then, at the end of the day, the boring routine begins - you need to thoroughly cleanse your face and wash off your makeup. Makeup artists told us how to remove mascara so as not to damage the lashes.

Method 1

The easiest way is to use micellar water. Apply a little liquid to a sponge and gently wipe your eyes in a circular motion.

If you don't have micellar water on hand, makeup wipes will come in handy. They have a delicate composition and can easily remove mascara. Choose wipes that are alcohol-free and designed for sensitive skin. You don't need to rub your eyes thoroughly or pinch off any lumps. Simply apply gentle pressure and move the wipe back and forth until all mascara is removed.

To remove waterproof mascara, try an oil-based product.

Method 2

Similar to eye makeup remover, balms contain oils that help cleanse lashes. Balms turn into oil bases upon contact with body temperature, so you can gently remove waterproof makeup. Leave the cleansing balm on your eyes for a few minutes before wiping it off.

Method 3

Makeup artists recommend a rather unexpected way to remove makeup, which is to use baby shampoo. Baby shampoo is a cheap alternative to cleansing balm

To minimize any possible irritation, use formulas and brands that are free of chemicals and fragrances.
