removing makeup

[mandimoo]

i dont own one single piece of makeup but i have just been for a trial hair and makeup sesh for my upcoming wedding. thrilled with the result, but now im home and realise ive got to get this slap off my face for work tomorrow. soap and water just hasnt done the job. and obviously, as i dont own makeup I dont own makeup remover either! anyone got any tips?

[jb190281]

do you have ANY products, cleansers, wipes, anything?

[mandimoo]

i have toilet roll, kitchen roll, oil of olay, vaseline, anti bac handwash and shower gel, but no 'products' of any kind... oh dear

[jb190281]

just use the oil of olay, that should do the job for now

[mandimoo]

yes, thats defo better, and kinder on my skin too. if i do it again in the morning i reckon it will be fine. i will have to invest in something for after the big day.... any recommendations? kind to your skin (i get excema), but quite cheap as i will probably never use it again!

[jb190281]

i use basic cream to moisturise in the mornings (i get very dry skin if i dont) - try something like this....

then to remove make up, you could just use wipes?

with the wipes, just make sure you can use them to wipe eye make up and that they dont cause a reaction.

hi mandimoo,
i use johnsons 3 in 1 facial wipes for sensitive skin (the pale blue packet) to remove my makeup at the end of the day and theyre great, they get every bit off and are gentle on the skin.
afterwards i smother my face in moisturising cream, like now, my face is white with it lol, and it feels blummin luvvly!! lol.

make up wipes burn my skin

[yinyang]

I use Simple baby wipes to take off my make up. Thy should be fine for sesitive skin and cheaper ( I think ) than the 'grown up' skin wipes.

[4getmenot]

even the simple ones burn my skin. Tesco sensitive are about the only ones I can use

[yinyang]

The baby wipes might be gentler than the normal Simple wipes though, unless it was the baby ones you were talking about.
All mandi can do is try and see what suits her skin the best.

I too am prone to facial ezcema.....so I use E45 emolliant wash -it really softens eye makeup. I then use Simple Regeneration Facial wipes to remove the excess. I never use babywipes on my skin...they triggered off an attack a number of years ago...and made the skin around my eyes super-sensitive.
You can also try aqueous cream...the cheapest!

[4getmenot]

just like me pasta, aqueous cream is something I cant live without now. I had burn marks around my eyes and hen all skin peeled off, very nasty

[Nannyjill]

As pastafreak and 4getmenot have suggested use aqueous cream, I always wash with it as I have psoriasis and although I don't wear make up usually when I do it will remove it.

Liz Earles Cleanse and Polish is the best product to remove make up.
Its a bit pricey but lasts for ages.
